So I'm about to upgrade from my 560 TI. I definitely want to stay under $400. I'm thinking either a 7970, or 670.
Admittedly, I'm a bit of an nvidia fan boy. I've never owned an AMD card and always looked at them as nvidia's "little brother" so to speak. I know that might sound a little ridiculous, but that's just been my mind set forever. I guess I've just stayed away from them mostly due to their supposed driver issues.
This most recent Never Settle Bundle, and the reviews of what seems like a lot of very satisfied customers, has me very interested in perhaps making the switch over to AMD for the next couple of years however.
Honestly, if it were not for the two games , I probably would have bought a 670 already. Crysis and Bioshock are must plays for me though, and getting them for "free" would be pretty awesome.
I've heard the arguments for both sides, from the beastly overclocking abilities of the 7970, to the stability and physix of the 670.
Which brings me to my question: Should I take the bait and make the move now while it's this enticing? Or should I play it safe and just go buy a 670, sell my 560 TI and use the money from that to buy the two games?
The rest of my specs are:
CPU: 3570k @ 4.2 Ghz
Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V LX
RAM: 8GB
PSU: Coolermaster extreme power plus 700w
Sound: Asus Xonar DG audio
