Sorry to ask again, but I ordered this card:
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-GeForc...qid=1362702069&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+gtx+670
and it arrived today. Sitting here, in it's box.
When I ordered two weeks ago there was a good deal $338AR. That seemed like a good price for this card. I had decided that I would not go ATI again due to issue with games initially in my 5850s life. But after I ordered and started researching I see that ATI has really turned around and the 7950 seems to spank the 670 when overclocked. This reminds me of the 9800pro days (one of my favorite cards).
So I looked it up and I can send this back to amazon for $5 return shipping. Then order a sapphire 7950 boost for $270 AR with two games (one I want to play and one I want to sell).
But I am still really torn. In many ways I want to run the Nvidia card, but then start thinking about the 2gb of ram and knowing that the 700s are right around the corner which will be faster and I can almost guarantee have more ram.
I game mainly at 1920x1080 (5850 is running 810,1100 right now) and am feeling like I spending unnecessary money.
My rig until Haswell arrives (upgrading then) is only a q9550 at 3.4 with 6gigs ddr2 800.
Not to turn you all into my shrinks.. but what should I do.
