Graphics Card Advice

[Shura]

O wow! thx for the advice, I woulda gone with the 4 GB's if i didn't know this which is about $100 more ty ^.^

Here are the cards that I am looking at and ultimately will get 1 of these 2

GTX 670 2GB = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130782

GTX 670 2GB FTW = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130787

Not a huge price difference, the FTW version is about $25 more, but I can't see any difference at all in the FTW version other than it has "FTW" in the description.

lol sounds stupid but if the normal version doesn't work better than the FTW version id probably get the FTW version simply because i have a clear case and the FTW one looks better lol.

The FTW version is clocked higher:
Core Clock is 915MHz vs 1006MHz
Boost Clock is 980MHz vs 1084MHz
Effective Memory Clock 6008MHz vs 6208MHz

Its just an overclocked version of the normal card, it also uses a custom cooler but some reviews say it also runs hotter.

Now this really comes down to preference, but i personally prefer bang for buck and in my honest opinion, the 670 is not worth it for almost $400. The ATI 7950 Boost is a much better card for the money; Here you can see a comparison between the GTX 670 and ATI 7950 boost. Notice how their almost tied every time, the 7950 also overclocks like a beast, if you OC it, it beats the 670 and its $100 cheaper.

For me it comes done to value, i go with whatever card offers me the best performance for price, sometimes its Nvidia and other times its ATI and this generation i think the 7950 boost is the best bang for buck card out there.

Sapphire 7950 Dual-X

Here is a Newest Version of the above card, it was recently released so not much reviews out yet.
