Gpu upgrade

[ThatGuy]

The time has come for me to upgrade my GPU. I am currently running dual GTX 460s. I have an asus p8z77-v premium, and dual GPUs don't play nicely with the PLX chip on it, so I'm looking for a single GPU solution. My price range is right around $400 and that puts me at the 7970/670 bracket. My obvious question is which one should I get? My main reason for considering the 670 is some of my favorite games are physx heavy (arkham city, borderlands 2, etc) will I miss physx enough to want to get the 670, or is the 7970 + never settle games the way to go?

id go 7970, you still have software physx so you will be grand on that side and the never settle games is difinitly a good plus

Would also suggest you grab the 7970 GHZ edition. Although, Nvidia 7 serious should be out come the summer, so it may be an idea to hold off until then and buy a 770/ 760?

The way I found out how to fix the PLX chip problem was to SLI them on the top 2 x16 PCI-e slots and not the 1st and 3rd one. The top 2 slots are directly provided by the CPU while the 3rd and 4th ones are from the PLX chip.

Well, at least it worked for me.

7970 simply because your getting more performance for your dimes.

I would get the 7970 because it has better performance than the 670. The HIS 7970 IceQ X² GHz Edition is a voltaged unlocked card and I would recommend this card.

You can't go wrong with a 7970 and the never settle bundle!
