GPU Confusion

The 7970 is quite stronger than the 670, and when overclocked it completely trounces it. I have seen this first hand.

Price/performance wise, the 7970 is a beast, and it is as strong as a 680 (Which the 680 is slightly stronger than the 670 btw).

P.S. The 7970 GHz Vapor-X is the strongest card out now if you that is what you are looking for.

In terms of price.. 670< 7970< 680

In terms of Raw speed .. 670<680<7970

In terms of driver stability (Arguably) 7970<670/680

They are all excellent cards but the 670 is better for PRICE PERFORMANCE over the 680, but not a faster card. The 7970 is also a better PRICE performance over the 680 and it is faster too, but some just like Nvida and some just like AMD.

Thank you. I'll look at this GPU. AMD isn't my preference ): mainly because I haven't dealt with AMD Drivers at al so I don't know what that's like.



Thank you. This helps a lot. I want a 670, just because its with NVIDIA and I like them a lot. 7970 seems reasonable I guess. I'll look into AMD more for sure especially the prices and how to find something around the price of the 670 I'm currently looking at.

Good luck with your choice. I don't think you can really make a bad one here, as they all are very nice.

It's not like you're going to be unhappy with either a 670 or a 7970 - both will max out games at 1080p and 60fps with ease.

I'm looking at fps differences between the 670 and 7970. Mainly looking at crysis just for a benchmark. I don't play it but if the 670 can get pretty good fps on it while not being too far behind the 7970 then I might just stick with that.

Nice chart - the 670 should perform within 7% of the 680, and the Nvidia cards will trail the AMD card by even less on lower resolution. (AMD tends to do better with higher resolutions.)

This helped a lot! Thank you. I looked at a lot of benchmark pictures but one will show the 670 beating the 7970 in most games, 7970 beating the 670 in most games, or close fps. I trust someone actually replying to me than just basing my choice of a picture with no recommendations. I'll just stick with the 670 right now since it's cheaper and doesn't look too far behind the 7970. It, also, helps that most of the games I have are on that chart. Again, thank you. GPU search is finally done lol  

You're welcome..Happy Gaming!

That's good because I only plan on going to 1920 x 1080 resolution. 2-3 monitors is too many for me. lol
