I would get the 7970 Ghz edition personally.

[Appelzaadje]

i would not get the gigabyte those small fans will most likely make a lot of noise to keep that beast cool.

personaly also the 7970 XFX is imo one of the best brands in gfx and else i would take the asus DC2 those two would both be awsome

if u plan to go multimonitor i would take the XFX since it has more vRamm

[Appelzaadje]

ow Btw why not go for a 770 ????

[Filip1727]

ow Btw why not go for a 770 ????

first i thought about is but like i have to pay 110$ more.  but if i have money maybe a 770. But i wanna know about this 4 because this is in my pricerange

[rjshield]

i'd wait too see what the new AMD 9000 series is like. They are expected to be released in mid October.

okay maybe that but if you hade to rank them?

[Appelzaadje]

i would say HD7970 or the asus 680 depending on your resolution high res go for 7970 else take 680 imo

[monstaYOFACE]

I've had 3 Nvidia cards, never a single problem.

 

I had one radeon card, a voltage regulator caugh on fire after 3 minutes while installing windows.

 

Go for the 680.

I wouldn't recommend the XFX card because their coolers are quite loud and they aren't that good imo. I would personally add a bit more of moneyget this or this. If you are really on a budget, I would get the Asus or the Galaxy one.

[DamDirtyApe]

If the prices are the same here as where you are, I'd go for a 770. The prices are comparable to the 680. 

 

For US customers, here's the Galaxy 680 GC vs the 770 GC.

 

The 770 actually beats out the 680 in this example. 

 

But keep in mind that you can hop different brands or deals and sometimes get the 680 for way below that price. This is just all I could think of for a straight up brand for brand, card for card comparison.

 

Also I would stay away from the XFX 7970, only because of personal experience. When I ordered my 7970 Black Edition from XFX I experienced all sorts of problems. Driver instability until a later update, loud fan speed, high card temperatures, a non reference card for many potential aftermarket cooler upgrades (Though the Arctic Xtreme fit perfectly on it), my revision of the board is voltage locked and to top it all off my first one had to be RMA'd. I was experiencing artifacts at desktop as well as in all 3DMark benchmarks. The RMA process was pretty easy, but it took almost 3 weeks to get my new card after I had shipped out my old one (Keep in mind that at first they could not duplicate the issue).

 

So if you went with another brand for the 7970 GHz, I would be all on board with that decision. It's an amazing card and it performs insanely well. Best bang for buck hands down. 

 

I'm just staying the heck away from XFX from now on. Go Sapphire or Gigabyte for the ATi.

I maybe can get this. I have only have heard good things about it what do you think  http://www.komplett.se/k/ki.aspx?sku=782080&cks=ASS&assoc=B99EC1DD-959C-4C0C-9D36-284FB69F5D76 or maybe this one? http://www.dustinhome.se/product/5010745337/asus-geforce-gtx-770-oc-2gb-pci-e-dvi-hdmi-dp/?utm_campaign=prisjakt&utm_source=prisjakt.nu&utm_medium=pricecompare&utm_content=5301

I would personally would go with the MSI card because it is lighter and it doesn't take up that much space and it will provide less stress to your pci-e slot imo. Both are these have great coolers so I would go with the one that you like. http://www.overclock.net/t/1286218/twin-frozr-4-vs-directcu-ii

[nokturrduk84]

XFX looks sexy, but it's AMD, so no! I would get KFA2 GeForce GTX680 2GB OC (68NPH6DT7XNZ) + Batman Arkham Origins from that list.

[WoodenMarker]

Just get the cheapest one--not much of a difference to the point where you'd want to pay more for one over another.

[Filip1727]

okay guys. Now i know that i can get a 770. so my big question is. Have you have anything bad about the asus 770 or the msi twin frozr 770? I think they perform almost the same

Btw the the asus costs 9$ more

No they are both great imo. I have the Twin Frozr 3 (not the Twin Frozr 4 on the 770 but it is very alike) cooler on my gpu and it is quiet and good cooler.   I would go with the MSI one since it is cheaper. 

[Filip1727]

Hey guys i saw that it was a good price at this one what do you think? Some overclock maybe  http://www.netonnet.se/art/dator/komponenter/grafikkort/amd-pci-e/asus-hd79703gbpci-ematrix/182203.7064/

Not worth the extra money over any of the cheaper models. Get this instead and oc it yourself: http://www.netonnet.se/art/dator/komponenter/grafikkort/amd-pci-e/xfx-hdradeon79703gb/180194.7064/

 

Fyi, you need to quote a post or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

I would suggest the 680 with the direct CU II cooler, aka this one : http://www.webhallen.com/se-sv/hardvara/153034-asus_geforce_gtx_680_2gb_directcu_ii_oc__blacklist/ . This card will run really quiet and cool compared to all the other 680's and it seems that its cheaper. Note.  Stay away from Gigabyte windforce 5x because the small fans make it sound like a helicopter taking off.
