Guys, I'm in the market for a new card in the 250-270€ price range to replace my 275GTX. This card gave me great value throughout these years, and I plan to replace the card for an equal one in value. I played all my games on high (except for AA, I never use AA) and only recently have I been forced to down some stuff to Medium to maintain a steady 60FPS rate. Since the new consoles are around the corner, I thought it was a good idea to upgrade.
The rest of the computer is up to date, it's just the card that I've been neglecting since it has been able to keep up. So, my question is, which one should I upgrade to, or should I wait? It seems ATi is coming up with a new line of cards, but if they don't come with a mid range "enthusiast" solution, I won't bother to wait for it. (Unless it comes with price drops all around)
Another question I have is the 2GB vs 3GB of the 760/7950 offer. More VRAM is always good, but my gaming resolution is 1080p (And I'm not increasing it, unless I might be crazy enough to try Downsampling for shits and giggles) and since I don't use AA, 2GB might seem enough, but the new gaming engines are also coming out, the extra GB might future proof me more.
Bah, I'm confused, help me Anandtech!
Specs in case you REALLY WANT:
ASrock Z77 Extreme 4
i5 3570k
8GB DDR3
120GB SSD
Corsair 700W PSU (AX I think)
