GTX760/HD7950 or wait?

[boboftw]

From what I can tell, the 670GTX is slightly faster than a 760GTX and here in the UK it's about £25 cheaper too! I am 95% sure that I'll be getting the 670GTX Zotac next week, because although I do prefer ATI(AMD) as a rule, the 7950 seems a little slower at stock and I don't think the i5 Haswell I'll be buying at 3.3Ghz will be able to max a stock 7950, so OC'ing it would probably be pointless.

An i5 Haswell will not bottleneck a 7950........

a core i5 haswell is enough even for a GTX Titan, leave alone a HD 7950. GTX 670 and HD 7950 are equals. the HD 7950 does have 1GB extra VRAM which is very useful going forward with next gen games crossing 2GB at 1080p. BF4 could start off that trend soon.
