I made up my mind, based on these two is my final contestant:
I saw these two amazing cards for the same price. I have realized that the Asus HD 6770 comes with OpenGL 4.1 and the other the 3.1. I don't do much 3D, but I play DC Universe Online with lots of 3D
which one should I aim for? I heard that Asus is a good, but also His and Xfx, but Xfx is out of my league.
