GTX670 or 7970 For THIS Game?

[Stublerone]

Same to me, flanker. This my second ati after some years of nvidia 4200, 6800, 8600, 285. I had some experience with a 4890 and the other name I don't know

So normally I stick with nvidia due to the fact, that I do not care about money, when I am interested in a new card. Just looking at 285 and 4890, there were many games running better with the 4890, but my brother couldn't use it very good for his games.

After reviewing and really taking care about it and talking to many people, doing benchmarks with all different parts all day long, I decided to buy a 7970. The initial benchs of the 680 were hardly discussed for hours and it was simply a horror show, that happebed also at some independant magazines or websites. Some really good sites really did a bad job, mostly reviewed some weeks ago. Now it is all good but this hype was crazy and unfair. Both cards are now equal for my games with a little advantage for my hd7970. I am still glad to have it and I am still convinced, that it is the card of the current generation up to date. I wondered about the good results of the 680 and was impressed, except the point, that they seem to sell a product, which was not fully ready. More features like computing were surely on their plan, but they simply cancel and nevertheless sell it as fully featured (same with bios probs and newest pci-e support not activated, although stated on the package).

Nevertheless there is nothing to argue about. No need of laying his computer engineering balls on the table

Newer tech with not enough vram to solve stutters. I never talked about technology topics. An electro car is also newer tech with higher efficiency, but a porsche is still the car, which has the balls. Senseless to talk about newer tech, because it can also happen, that the newer tech is having start up problems, which costs money. Nvidia for sure did a tech switch and did it good, but we are still talking about the thread topic: Which card is best to use in clod. My answer: 7970 (full stop)!

I am also aware of your topics. I am not a super engineer, but I am not dumb. I am currently not for one manufacturer and promoting this only. A gamer, who plays multi platform games and do not want to additionally work on cooling, quietness and uses it stock out of the box, I would recommend the 680. But who is spending so much bugs and just let it be the card, as it is? This is, what makes the difference between tech interested enthusiasts and bling bling kids showing balls, which they bought in a store.

You know, what I mean. Such a card is too expensive to be used by kids, not knowing, what it is. Just bought the most expensive one and do not take care on their demand.

My demand: a watercooled card with high vram to be well equipped for some new projects like higher resolutions and triple monitors. So, this is my decision and it is the best currently with such variables and the best for clod, to prevent any stupid and annoying fact to turn out as a huge problem for you personally. I would bite myself in the ass, if the stutters won't be solved for my 680. And I would be very pissed, if the driver stutters are solved and I still have stutter caused by vram.

That is, why I am currently not recommending the 680 as the best card for clod!
