Benchmark links below.
So I thought I had made up my mind with the 7950, but then the 760 came out and the 8000 series should start appearing in Q3 of this year and beginning of next year (not sure if I wanna wait that long). I am looking for a card no more than $300+/-, so these two seem to fit the budget well, but 2 new 8000 series cards will be under $300 as well, the 8870 and 8850, that is.
I need help deciding which card to get or wait for. I will be getting a new 1080p screen but also have my current 1440x900 screen on the side. I would like to max out games like BO2, BF3, Crysis 3, FC3 and other demanding games that I will likely be getting. I plan on OCing the card.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: This build is planned to last over 3 years without upgrading, maybe even longer, so I can invest a few extra bucks for the sake of it lasting longer.
