Pretty we'll explained in the title. This is the final part of my PC I need to confirm.

I am going to start gaming at 1366 x 768 but I have a 1920 x 1080 on hold till Christmas. Which will give me the best FPS for BF4, Arma 3 and dayZ

I will have a FX-6300 @ 4.2 GHZ.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html Go with the 7870, the 7870 on that chart is a 2gb, a 3gb and overclock will push it ahead of the 680.

Uh, you mean 7970? I would get the 7970.

ewok93 · Nov 4, 2013

Can go with the 7970 too, but a 3GB 7870 OC would be about the same.

ihog · Nov 5, 2013

Really? Could you post some benchmarks comparing the two?

No... just no.

the 680 is way better than the 7870... You could give the 7870 10Gb of Ram and the 680 would still be way better.

he must mean the 7970 look at the links... also because the 7870 doesn't have 3gb vram

Sorry this is late posting.
7870 is more comparable to GTX 670 or even GTX 660 Ti.
680 FTW would beat a normal 7970 but not GHz version.
