the reason i put the 7870 is because i'm gonna play on 1080.....does it worth it to get a 670 or 7970 ghz ed....or it doesnt!!!any suggestion is more than acceptable.....my psu is capable for sli/crossfire.....many many many thanks!!!!

Wait a month or two - Get the AMD 8000 series graphics cards.

The 8850 is expected to be only $200 if rumor is true... That should mean an affordable 8950? One can hope?

but i want it now....this is why i'm asking here...i need to max out pretty much everything...especially baf3 and cod4 black ops2.....been absent for almost 2 years from gaming....as can you see i cant wait

ASUS GTX670 DirectCU II TOP can max game out @1920 x 1080

 

[bigcyco1]

Overall the ASUS GTX 670 Direct CU II is the best card I ever tested. I simply can't find anything wrong with it. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_670_Direct_Cu_II/

hmmm....does anybody know about the msi 7870 hawk???

It's a good card you can't max out certain games with it though

thanks for answering.....so its down to asus 670 vs 7970 ghz.....do for the cheapest then??

 

[bigcyco1]

Yeah

 

[andreas_vak]

i'm only gonna play FPS games...does it matter??

 

[bigcyco1]

What do you mean ?

 

[andreas_vak]

first person shooter.....sorry...basically only cod4 and baf3....sorry for the last post.....if dont want to max out and just go for the regular settings??

 

[bigcyco1]

Then a 7870 will work on regular settings

 

[andreas_vak]

[andreas_vak]

one last question....i am getting a 3570k...but i'm not OC for at least a year....so because its gonna be stock should i get the hyper evo 212 or just the stock and when i OC buy a better cooler

 

[bigcyco1]

just stick with stock when you OC buy a better cooler

A GTX 670 will be the best deal for performance otherwise you can go for HD 7870.

 

[darth pravus]

+1 for the asus gtx 670.

Amazing card. Silent, cool and fast. It's want you want to max things

 

[arcticle]

What about a 7950? It's cheaper than a 670, and can still max out most current games... Especially if you use a single monitor. As long as you can play at 60 FPS, nothing really matters. A 7950 will future-proof your system more than a 7870. It will also save you $50. Overclock the 7950 and you can get GTX 670 performance...

 

[zpwslayer]

Get the 7970 or save a it and get the 7950 and over clock it like Arcticle said
