I have browsed many sites telling me certain cards are better with certain things but I want one which is right for me.
I have a dual monitor set up - to which I do all my gaming on a 1920 x 1080. While I game I only use the one I use the other for when I am programming or using Photoshop or 3DS Max etc.
The cards I have been looking at are the following:
Nvidia: 580(1.5GB), 670(2GB)
AMD: 7970(3GB)
I have checked the Benchmarks on Tom's Hardware for the GTX 670 and it compares it to the other 2 and out does them in FPS by quite a bit on all games tested.
Although on 'Hardware Compare' the GTX 580 beats both on Pixel Rate but the 7970 beats them in everything else yet has lower FPS that the 670.
My limit is £350, it must handle dual monitors well and obviously handle 1920x1080 gaming very well on: Diablo 3 and BF3.
Thank you in advance
EDIT: I don't have a lower limit if someone thinks I don't need to spend as much, I am just interested in a card that can cope with what I want and last me a good while.
