Need some help deciding what graphics card would be the best upgrade for my aging HD 5770.

 

EVGA GTX 670 Superclocked 4GB

 

or

 

Sapphire HD 7950 3GB with Boost

 

The EVGA card is 20 euro's more expensive. I don't really care for the 4GB's since I will be gaming at 1080 resolution, but it's an open box deal with a great discount.

I don't mind overclocking so that's why i'm also considering the HD 7950.

Give me your opinions please  :)

I'd grab 7950 or 270 if you can squeeze up ur budget.

 

Edit: 280x sorry.

My budget is around 250 euro's. 

I have considered the 270x but the HD 7950 seemed to be the better deal because of the high overclocking potential and 384bit memory bus.

They perform about the same, I'd get the 670 tough because it's EVGA and it supports all the sweet NVIDIA features.

Get the 7950. They're similar in performance.
