Right, it's upgrade time for me at last. I have 2 choices and have no idea which way to go about it.

Either this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-144-MS&tool=3

Or this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-095-GI

Now in a few threads I have been reading, the 670 appears to be having a few problems with the bios etc... which puts me off a little bit.

Are AMD's drivers better than they used to be? I have a 570 at the moment, and I had an 8800gt before that, never had a red team card before. I understand the 7970 is faster than the 670, and cheaper which is why I'm tempted.

Which way do I go? Thanks.
 
First I have heard about the 670 having issues with the BIOS. A few had problems with stutter in the earlier drivers which nvidia acknowledged and I believe have since fixed.

The disappointing thing for me is the price rises... It could pay to get the 7970 that is on offer from here if you are a keen overclocker. If not, then the 670 is the way to go.
