need help choosing a graphics card

[Mantowalt]

i was looking to buy a new graphics card for my computer but idk what to buy. I was looking for a graphics card that would allow me to run games like battlefield 4 and assassins creed 4 on high resolutions. i was thinking of spending $250

At that price, you should look at the HD 7970: http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031504&sku=80254&vpn=FX797ATDJC&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1054 - $264 (There is a cheaper PowerColor 7970 out there, for closer to $250, but I don't recommend it, awful reviews).

Here is a helpful side-by-side on Nvidia and AMD cards to give you an idea as to how they stack up performance-wise.
