I'm currently using the Radeon HD 5770 which is a tad outdated now (ok its really old now lol). Since Black Friday's around the corner I'm looking to upgrade.

My choices have come down to:
1) Radeon HD 7870 (2GB)
2) GeForce GTX 760 (2GB)

obviously #1 is cheaper because it's AMD and its a little older model than #2. However friends told me that Nvidia is better with their driver updates, and seeing how the September driver pack for my current card constantly fails to install I'm inclined to believe this. Does anyone have suggestions on which one I should go with?

I also intend to upgrade my ram from 4 to 8gb. My game currently runs fairly smoothly if I put it on 'standard laptop' in 1920 x 1080 but I guess I'd like to play in a higher graphic setting so I figured it's time for an upgrade.
