amd 7970 or gtx 680 ?

[Tox Laximus]

I think the 680 performs better, they are similar price.

EDIT: the 680 uses less power and my antec 550watt psu meets the requirement.

Is the 680 supported well will games old and new?
Is it noisy?

my evga gtx 680 4gb card is the best card i ever owned...might be everything else in my sytem helps make it fast but any game i throw at it,it plays on ultra settings maxed out...example batman arkum city...play flawless max settings on everything at 1920 x 1080p i mean anygame...ive always been a nvidia fan cause most pc games always pop the screen nvidia the way the game is meant to be played...right...not to many flash ati radeon screen...plus nvidia cards have the ageia chip for physics built right into the chip where as ati you need another card for that...nvidia all the way and the evga 680 superclocked 4gb ftw card kicks ass

such BS

I never would of thought there would be amd/nvidia salesfolk hanging around on forums, waiting to strike like cobras when someone mentions 'should I get amd or nvidia?'

Its no surrprise though.

One in ten thousand people on here are actually going to give an unbias, factual and helpful reply. Most are just so conceited about the hardware they own, that they only recommend what they use to validate their purchase or machine. Better off asking on a proper hardware forum if you want the best advice.

I've only been giving a post here and there around these discussions/forums for a small while, and I already can't be bothered anymore, because all the effort you put into helping the user that is asking for help goes down the drain when someone else derails the thread with their false knowledge and facts..

As you said, you can't just stick to one brand and form loyalty with them as you're just missing out on the advantages that either brand might have with each new wave of hardware.
