Hello, all. Recently been looking to upgrade my graphics card for 1080p gaming and I've had my eyes on two in particular -
GIGABYTE GV-R787OC-2GD Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5

EVGA 02G-P4-2663-KR GeForce GTX 660 FTW Signature 2 2GB 192-bit GDDR5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130833&Tpk=gtx%20660%20ftw%20signature%202
At the moment, price isn't an issue as they are within $5 of eachother, so my main concern is performance. I plan on playing with a single 1080p monitor (though I may purchase another in the future) and an i5 3570k at stock speeds (plan on overclocking in a few months or so). I play games like Battlefield 3, Hitman Absolution, Sleeping Dogs, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Assassin's Creed series, various titles based on the Source engine, and more. So which GPU will give me the best performance on these games at 1080p (and possibly higher if I ever do upgrade) with high to max settings?
