Hi there people,
I've been scouring the internet today and found pleanty of rumours about the GTX 680 being released in February. From what I've read it's likely to be on par with the 7970. So no expecting a massive difference here. That said, Nvidia does have Physx so if the cost is similar it could be something that sways people.
Currently my two Saphire 7970's have been returned to ebuyer as one of them went pop. I've asked for a refund and expect this will be done in a few days.... the big question is, do I get two standard 7970s, wait a bit and get two 7970 DirectCU II Top cards, or wait till the end of the month hoping the NVidia card comes out and is better than the 7970?
I'm not looking for fan boy answers. I've had both ATI and NVidia and both have worked fine for me. I only game in 3 x 1 landscape so both manufacturers can cater for that. Also, 3D isn't being used yet apart from anaglyph glasses on occasion.
