Right now im looking at either the XFX Double D 7950 or the 7970, not sure which to go for, the 7950 being $259 vs the 7970 @ $309, a $50 difference. I have the money to burn for this now and may not get another shot to do this for another 3 or 4 years. Currently am running a 6850 which has been serving me well for almost 2 years.
I plan on playing BF4 with Fraps running (Yes I record gameplay), and Star Citizen as it continues (I know they haven't released recommended anything for SC yet, but I know I can run the discount hanger at 1080p at about 45FPS atm with everything running HIGH).
Which should I really consider, I would like to get the 7950 for sure, but am I better off just spending the extra $50 for the 7970 with the upcoming release of the new R2xx video cards forthcoming? I see all over that they want to compare the R280 to a 7970 and a R270 to a clocked down version of a 7950, so I am just trying to see what my best options are as I have maybe one more week to get this figured out before the wifey finds other uses for my money!
