With the recent deals it's been tempting. I finally settled on the 7970. Now though I'm wondering if I should have gone with the 7950's and OC them to the 7970 level and be happy. The cost for the 7950 is of course roughly $100 less. I can OC the 7970 too but is the gain as much as OCing the 7950. Here's the dilemma.
7950, OC to 7970 level for $200 or less
or
7970, OC for $300 - $20 rebate
I'm driving 2 old 3007 WFPs. I can pick up two 7950 or two 7970 since it uses Dual-link DVI.
Opinions would be greatly appreciated. I don't game much but may get into FFXIV:ARR. This game of course already looks fine, based on the benchmark, with just my current 650 in standard resolution. It is a little choppy at max settings but very playable.
