7970, brah. Trust me.

LMAO! 1080proectors is an actual member! xD 

 

On topic: I would go with the 7970, hands down.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Depends on the resolution. At 1080p the gtx770 has an edge over the 7970 (Not much of a surprise, the gtx770 is technically a generation ahead of the 7000 series.)

Wrong.

 

Go 7970, OC it a bit and you have little monster in your hands.

Go check some benchmarks

 

GTX 770 is GTX 680 with overclocked memory and a new, updated BIOS. It's a rebadge + lower price tag.

 

But it's still faster than 7970. Only problem I have with GTX 770 is that 2GB version is a flop if you want it to last you long, you will run out of vram soon ESPECIALLY if you do SLI... and the 4GB version costs SIGNIFICANTLY more and that basically makes it very bad price-to-performance.

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

You can overclock a gtx770, too.

I have seen benchmarks.

7970 since it has 3GB of Vram and they have an excellent price to performance ratio after the price drops. :)

HD 7970 is a vastly better value, but like others have said, it's a little faster @ 1080p.  But it's 130 dollars cheaper, and it will win overclock to overclock when high AA or resolution is involved!

Hope this helps :)
