stick with my 7870 and wait or change card?

[akilleazy]

Lately I've been considering a jump up in graphics card. I already have a pretty decent 7870 but I just feel like my frames are a little low a times.

I'm tempted by all the nvidia cards but are they good enough to warrant the price and the swap? Also I hate catalyst control centre so unless its a really good card I would prefer to leave amd cards alone

Thanks

I had considered xfire but i prefer one good card over two not running at full... catalyst annoys me because it has a mind of its own and the driver issues so far have driven me crazy
and i wish i had the money for a 780ti but unfortunately i don't i was thinking around 300 for a new card

If you want to move to the Nvidia side I would hold off and save a little more so you can get a 780 at least. I don't think you would see enough of an increase on your current card for the Nvidia stuff under £300 i.e. 770.

okay that makes sense, thanks very much for your help

OP what CPU are you using?

A good graphic card is only as good as it should be when it is not being held back by the CPU.

Fx 8320

And what are the main games you play?

Everything from basic games like game dev to intensive games like crysis and far cry
