I know the comparison might sound weird, but after seeing the benchmarks in linus' video i thought "wow, the 7950 gives you a really great value", but the benchmark was a stock unit and not an asus direct CU II or EVGA.

 

Now i want to know your optinion, because i am really struggeling and i am thinking about this for days now <.<.

 

Currently i am running a 2600 gt (lol) on a 1280*1024 monitor. I know it sounds weird, but my gaming notebook crashed and now i had to get my old tower and the last parts that i didnt update yet are the GPU and the Monitor. So i am planning to buy a 1440p display and a suitable GPU that will last me 2-3 years until i sell the pc again (probably).

 

So what are your thoughts? I have heard that the 7970 is pretty loud and i am really not a fan ;-) of loud hardware.

770 4gb and let it clock itself like crazy :) the 7950 does present better value but long term your going to want the best of the best!

No justification, just buy the most expensive card you can, and I 100% guarantee that that'll be the card that'll last the longest.

If you're gaming at 1080p get the 7950.

 

If you're going over that 780.

 

770, like the 680 is a bit of a pointless card because there is nothing it can do that the card down from it won't (IE 670 and the forthcoming 760ti)

I would go 780 or 7950 , if you wanna make the commitment to 1080p + gaming. Its higher quality and will keep you at very playable frame rates for years to come :) and its beautiful. Although, if you're not willing to go that high cash wise, just go for a 7950. They are a good card but at 1080p

CPU: i5 3570k                                 PSU: CX650 Corsair                 SSD: 128GB Samsung 840

Do you have any idea when the 4gb is going to be released?

I know that the most expesive card will last me the longest, but its Value will also decrease the most over the next years

If you get a 7950, get the Gigabyte Windforcex3 version. They tend to be extremely overclockable and the cooler is quiet and efficient.

AMD Ryzen 7800 X3D, MSI B650 Project Zero, Antec C5, Gigabyte RTX 4080 Super Aero

According to the benchmarks, the 7950 is suitable for 1440p or am i wrong.

It's suitable if you don't want to use any FSAA.
