I would like to buy a high end card that offers good performance and maximum visual quality at 1080p 60Hz. In particular, I'd be interested in good performance in open-world games, I plan to play Tomb Raider 2013, Assassin's Creed 3, Bioshock Infinite and GTA 5. Right now I would like good performance in Tomb Raider w/ TressFX on, but on the other hand also some of the nVidia-specific features like TXAA because the temporal aliasing in Assassin's Creed 3 kind of bothers me. (As a side question, is there any way to get rid of it without TXAA?). Might also pick up Borderlands 2 at some point , and I only have a i5 750 until Haswell comes out, so GPU PhysX capability would also be nice. Also 3GB+ of video memory is important in preparation for GTA5. Low noise and overall power consumption are also preferable.
So, I have noticed these 2 models:
- EVGA 670 SuperClocked+, 4 GB
- Sapphire Radeon 7870 GHz Vapor-X, 3GB
I am open to other suggestions, I also like Asus cards. Also, if the Sapphire 7950 Boost Vapor-X can keep up at 1080p with those 2 cards at negligible FPS differences, I might go down the cheap path.
