I am having an extremly hard time deciding between HD 7970 and GTX 680.....
My budget is around 450ish +\- 20 USD....
Just over 5 month ago 680 was clearly the better choice as in performance but now people are saying 7970 is better than 680 even with both on stock settings... Never knew just an update with graphic driver would turn things around this much.
Sapphire HD 7970 stock version is selling at 379.99 at newegg
Sapphire Vapor-X 7970 Ghz edition is selling at 469.99 at newegg
Evga SuperClocked 680 2684 KR is selling at 469.99 also in newegg
Currently my fav pick is EVGA SC 680 but from what i understand 7970 Out performs 680 currently 12/12/12.
So whats up with that and what are the best choices with my MAXIMUM budget?
I cannot find 680 cheaper then 469 currently but with backplate and cool design i dont mind grabbing one of these given that they are better then 7970 ones that are on same price level eg GHZ edition
My deadline is around christmas time and before 2013 hits
I wont be able to upgrade gpu after this one for a while since i plan on going part time work after this year... So i want the best one i could get my hands on with my maximum budget xD
and my monitor is 1900x1080 resol w 75hz refresh rate
Thanks for the help!
