Ok, so i'm kinda stuck between these cards. I'm building a computer for gaming and its aimed at around 2000$. I've picked everything and i'm down to the graphics card and i just can't choose. Some of you will say obviously 780 because it achieves better fps in game then the hd 7970. But i have been reading reviews from different sources and i have seen that the 7970 matrix achieves 5-15 more fps than the reference. Making me think, if the 7970 is 10-20 fps slower than the 780 in some cases will the 7970 matrix be nearly the same? I'm not an expert which is why im asking this question. I live in Australia and the 7970 costs 600$ while the 780 cost 870$. Im going to play bf3 for the next few months until bf4 comes out. Since bf4 and most new games are going to be optimized for amd gpus since the new consoles are coming out is the 7970 a better choice for me? I will be playing these games on low since i rather the fps over looks like i play bf3 right now.
Thnx to anyone that replies and helps me with this.
