I currently play all the new games. I am not on a budget well 500 is the most I want to spend on a video card I have been thinking about the 7970 considering its the highest end card atm. I have heard of rumors of new HD 9000 series cards coming out and have been thinking of getting a 7870 instead well for now. I have a resolution of 1920 by 1080 and currently have a gtx 550ti. I really want to support amd but want to get the bang for my buck considering I have a CPU to buy in the near future

The 7970 will be perfect for 1080 gaming.  Many cards above that will just give you wasted frames.

Go 7970.

Life is pain. Anyone who says any different is either selling something or the government.
