Hey guys, i've been bent on getting the 7970 but my major concern has always been screen tearing as i dont have a 120hz monitor. Currently, these two cards are at roughly the same price point in my region.

So my question is.

For 670 users is adaptive vsync making a huge difference in your gaming experience? Of course assuming that you game at 60 hz.

For the 7970 users, is the screen tearing noticeable when the framerates drop suddenly?

I game on a 2560 x 1440 monitor. Just in case that's ever a factor.
 


Yet another good reason to go with what you are. If you ever feel like trying 3D, that monitor is designed to work with Nvidia 3D Vision 2.
 
I observed in games screen tearing(GTX 670+60 Hz IPS Monitor). I turned on V-sync, and though the tearing was gone, it wasn't that smooth. If I turn it off and the adaptive V-sync on, will it run smoother, and less screen tearing than with it off?

Sorry if I spelled something wrong. I'm romanian!
