The GTX 460 on my HTPC is starting to exhibit artifacts and I've done all I could to fix it (various driver versions and underclocking), I decided now to replace the card and upgrade.
The AMD 7970 results look really promising, but I'm not concerned with my CPU bottlenecking it.
I have a Phenom II X4 965 at stock 3.4GHz. I run it 24/7 and would therefore rather not overclock.
The maximum resolution I will ever run on this is 1920x1080.
The GTX 460 is definitely not limited by my CPU, but I think I may need to worry if upgrading to a 7970.
I'd rather go with a 6970 or 6950 if the CPU is going to significantly limit the performance of the 7970. I'm willing to wait a week for the 7970, but would rather not wait more than a month for the other 7000 series cards unless it is really worth it.
Here are my system specs:
Phenom II X4 965 @ 3.4GHz
4GB DDR3 1600
Biostar TA785G3 uATX MB
OCZ Fata1ity 550W PSU
Mitsubishi 73" DLP @ 1824x1026
Let me know which of the following options would be your preference for this setup:
1. AMD 7970
2. AMD 6970
3. AMD 6950
4. Wait for the other ATI 7000 series cards
Thanks in advance.
