Should I upgrade my Radeon HD 5970 2gb

[ajgavigan]

Hi

I am looking to upgrade my HD5970 to HD7950, but after reading some reviews there doesn't seem to be a hugh difference between the cards. I was wondering if I did upgrade to this cards would I notice a graphically difference on games like Civ 5, Simcity 5. The HD5970 can become a little jerky on Civ 5 maxed out.

I would consider getting the HD7970ghz, but would prefer not to spend that kind of money?

Any feed back would be great.

Thanks

A

as you can see 7950 and 5970 are in the same range! i would suggest you to wait for the next generation of gpus!

Yep i too see no need to upgrade just yet, 7950 and 5970 are pretty close in perf or most games
