Which 7970 should i get?

Yes they were @ 7860x1440, admittedly its not great depends on the game really. But for older/less demanding games or games like crysis due to the flexibilty settings wise. Its not to bad.

Single gtx 670, is 4gb worth getting?

So as im probably, only going to be getting one card. The choice is really between a 2gb 670 and a 7970 then? Im not overly bothered about being able to play on 3 monitors, as i didn't get them solely for gaming anyway. And the only thing I seem to be playing atm is Guildwars 2, which...
