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
