New GFX card advise please!

Well im after a new card after my 560Ti died after a good long life!

So looking for £200-300 replacement.

Ive currently got i5 3570k and ga-z77x-d3h motherboard with a 600w OCZ PSU.

Should i wait for the new AMDs or buy now? Im not fussy whether it's AMD/Nvidia just want good performance. Im currently running 2 monitors at 1080p so want some good performance with them.

Wait a week for the new AMD cards to hit. If they're any good then retailers would want rid of 7XXX stock, OcUk are already starting to do so now with the 7970 offers.

Should i jump on the 7970 offers?

 

[MrMarvelous]

Entirely up to you, I can't make that decision for you.

If you're after a card now then I would strongly suggest a 7970. Even the voltage ones easily overclock to over a ghz, check the comparison below.

You'd be doubling your FPS in the majority of cases.

I'm going to wait as I've managed a couple of weeks so far without a GFX card, just hope the prices don't raise too much .

I think I'll need a new PSU also as I only have 8+6 pin and I see some of the newer cards are using 8+8
