Ok so I'm currently looking for a new GPU which will fit into my £1000 complete rig budget. Currently I have been trying to decided between the 670GTX or the 770GTX, however I am not adverse to trying out a 79XX or a 78XX from AMD. All I'm interested in is performance to price point.

I will mainly be using it for:-

A. Gaming - RTS's Company of Heroes 1 and 2, all the Total War Series and also the odd FPS or RPG (which I would love to be able to make look really lovely).

and

B. Folding - Need to get as much PPD as possible.

I also would like this card to last at least two to three years before I have to look at upgrading to a newer one.

Any suggestions?
 
If you want to spend £200, 760 or 7950
If you want to spend £300, 7970GHZ or GTX 770
If you want to spend **** loads, Titan,GTX 780,7990,GTX 690

Ignore the 670 and 680's. They are pointless and redundant at the prices that e-tailers are currently seelling them for.

Thanks for the response but which of those cards in the £200 to £300 pound range would be the best for what I want to do with it? For the money??
 
Thanks for all your responses, I thought that Nvidia would be the card to go for in terms of folding as my most recent GPU was the 8800GT (untill my other half tried to force feed it vodka) and that would quite amply beat most of the later AMD's in PPD. I'll check out the 760 though. If it suits I may get one.
