I noticed in your signature you are getting a GTX 680 soon?

Why not go for the triple fan Gigabyte 7950?

$500 you say? GTX 680 no brainer.

For that res nothing higher than a 7950. I'd wait and see if we are going to see the 670 in a few days. It might be better for you, and/or it might make AMD cards come down in price.

I don't follow rumors or news that much, but what do you mean a few days? I'm saving the pennies for a 7950 myself and would love it if the price came down or if a 670 came with better specs for the same price. I'm a couple of months away from having the money

I say go for 7850 and oc it for 580+ performance. Change after 1-1.5 years, will be better that way

first option but i will only be using it for 2 monitors so im thinking it would be a waste
