AMD 7970 Ghz ed VS 670 power ed

[hikari]

Hi all,

Need your guys opinion on the above.

is getting 7970 Ghz Ed really worth it compared to 670 power ed ?

both are about the same price

for gaming purpose at 1080p

not planning on multi monitor setting

thanks in advance :)

7970 is better.... if you get one around the 670 price go for the AMD card...

Whichever one is cheaper. I was set on 670s for a time but now the 7970s are a bit cheaper so now I'm set on them. Really they trade small blows but with the latest drivers AMD seems to win out by a bit more FPS. The 670, however, is more power efficient.

even after OC the 670 PE ed, do u think 7970 will still outperform ?

An overclocked 7950 will out perform an overclocked 670, a stock 7970 performs on par the a GTX 680.

Overclocked 7970 outperforms everything .

Plus you get 3 games for free with the 7970 .

Also something to be noted, no need to buy a ghz edition , you can buy a regular 7970 and overclock it, but Ghz edition cards do overclock better.

You need to know that PE cards don't overvolt as well as they used to, MSI had to revise the triple over voltage feature because Nvidia pulled the warranty.

The 670s are just a bit overpriced for it's performance range.
