7870 v 7950

will i see a huge difference playing on a 1080p screen?

7870 after OC should be at 7950 level or even better. But if you do want to spend more moeny buy 660Ti.

If you want more performance, get the 7950 and overclock that for 7970/680 performance.

I thought the 7950 beats the 660ti in terms of performance?

It does. Youde be mad to buy a 660ti over a 7950 at current prices.

Looks like AMD cards have have the performance advantage on this game.
According to this chart your 7950 will match a 680 in this game
