Hey all,
Trying to pick a video card. As the title says, I can't choose between a GTX 670 or a HD 7970. I'll be playing any games I can get my hands on at 1920x1080. This includes World of Tanks, GW2, CS:GO, Planetside 2, Path of Exile, BF3...
My pick for a 670 is as follows:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127685
I have a MSI GTX 570 now and it has been fairly solid. Some small issues, but nothing too wild.
Regarding a 7970, I have no idea. My choice would have been the MSI 7970 Lightning (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127670) but the price on them is ridiculous compared to other 7970 offerings.
Also, I have been keeping an eye on the Sapphire cards, Gigabyte, and ASUS cards, but they all seem to have very mixed reviews.
In addition, I plan on overclocking, and would like to have a solid cooling solution on the card.
Oh, I also have a Silverstone FT-02 if that aids in the process at all.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Should I just stick with the 670, or is it worthwhile to get a 7970 instead?? If so, what brand/card?
Thanks a lot!
