response: in Graphics & Displays  XFX Radeon HD 7970 3GB DDR5
or one of these  The 7970 is about $60 more than the 7950s. Is
the performance difference worth it? I have a 2560x1440 monitor.
I would also overclock it. I may eventually get another card if
I get any more monitors but it wouldn't be soon.  More about :
7950 7970  Well imo, I would pay the extra money just knowing
that I would have the best AMD card because then you wouldnt
need to buy another card for a long time lol. But I think I
heard the 7950 was a downscaled 7970. So you could technically
get the 7950 and overclock to a 7970 assuming that what I said
was correct.  I'd definitely go with the 7970. If you're really
tight on money and you can get the 7950 but can't get the 7970
by any means, that's still OK, because overclocking it would
potentially wield the same results as a 7970, but if you do the
same OC'ing with the 7970, imagine what would happen then...
both cards are grea
