which one of those 7970 is better

[SpikeUrAss]

i still donno what is the best the 760 or 7950/7970 cuz those amd cards are like 2 years old and the 760 or 700+ released this year or maybe i'm wrong anyways if i gonna buy this 7970 card which one is better
the OC / GHZ / normal one

and do u thing 760 is better or does it worse to get 7970 that cost more then 760 !

get the 760, it is more recent and more games are nvidia optimized, as well as the fact that it is newer. afaik, the oc will be the best for the 7970.

The 7970 may be discontinued in a few months with the release of Hawaii next month, something to ponder. It's very soon, worth waiting to see what they come out with, generally every line up offers more performance for less money.

Yes I hope, it's all I can do but........................

The AMD Radeon 9k series are just around the corner. Few weeks ago we told you that the new series will launch in October. Since then we did not have any proof. That’s until now. Most of you probably know that Hawaii GPU will be shown by AMD in late September. Of course this will only be the official announcement. The new retail models will hit the shelves in mid October according to our latest information.

Digitimes already confirmed that the mass shipment of the Hawaii-based graphics cards will commence in October.

This statements sounds pretty solid so the next move is an "official" announcement later this month. It would be counter productive for a company to make a new release and sell it for more with less performance, think about it. look at Nvidia's latest series, every card had better performance than what it replaced. The the 660TI > 760, 680 > 770, 780 was a new release, and the 750Ti will be released soon replacing the 660, all for a better price/performance ratio. It is rumored the 7970 will be replaced with the R9-285 or R9-280. Point is before you get a 7970 see what these cards are all about soon, hate buying something only to have it updated a short time later.

Thanks for the solution thing, was nice of you to do that. One other thing, EVGA has a "Trade up" program to upgrade cards with newer stuff you buy from them, just another thing to consider, besides the best customer support there is I think.

it is the best answer cuz i gonna w8 even until the end of the year to see if there is gonna be new gpu or cpu and compare with the older ones i hope they gonna release something that worse the upgrade

about evga i couldn't understand the code that in the card name so does it mean it's able to OC or it
s anther system that evga proved instead of OC !
