Hey guys,
I have a few questions that have been bugging me for a while, but I haven't had the time to ask. I'm planning on getting a 670 for my new build but should I get the MSI Power Edition or the ASUS DC2T? I've heard problems with the DC2T, if there weren't, I'd definitely go for that one. (But I also heard that MSI had been doing some weird voltage thing on the 660tis and the 670s). I also heard problems about 2gb in the future. Should I get a 7970 instead then? I want my GPU to last 3-4 years. The only model my store sells is the 7970 ghz vapor x edition. I read reviews about that too, it seems to be a solid choice except for that it's a 2.5 slot card.
I have an Asrock z77 Extreme6 motherboard. In the future, if I get the 670 or the 7970, should I sli/crossfire it when it runs out of gpu power? Or should I get the 770 or the 8970? I heard that the 8xxx series is coming out Q2 of 2013. Should I wait? Also, if I'm planning on sli and crossfiring, I know the 670s will fit because they are 2-slot cards, but how about the vapor x 7970? It's a 2.5 slot, will it be able to be crossfired on my Extreme6? If it can, will the cooling performance greatly decrease? Also, how bad is the micro-stuttering on crossfire/sli? I want to play Crysis 3 in the future, so I'm a little concerned on the graphics requirements, but I mean, nobody knows the requirements for the game until it's out.
Also, there is adaptive v-sync on the 670 and it also comes with ACIII and Borderlands 2, which means I don't have to spend so much on games and I don't have to buy a 120hz monitor (or should I) ? The 7970 ghz does not have that feature, but I've been looking @ 120hz monitors for a while. I'm thinking of getting a 27" 120hz monitor, but the problem with that is that I'm afraid, because the maximum resolution is 1920x1200, the image won't be as clear because it's stretching those pixels on a large area.
I've been using Nvidia products for a while, I've never used an AMD graphics card, so I'm a bit skeptical about it.
I know there are a lot of questions, but I've been dying to ask them.
