Hey guys, here I am going back for another "needly" of more information.
Just found out that the GTX 670 are like 50-70 dollar cheaper on newegg.
I was actually been leaning towards a Sapphire 7970 OC edition but then I've been reading SO MUCH different threads from other sites, and they said GTX 670 would be a better choice.
I'm planning on overclocking which ever card i am going to get, BUT only on its stock voltage. Most people who got a Sapphire 7970 OC edition oc'd it at 1125/1575 which is easy on any 7970 cards. Some got it to 1200/1600, that I think is cause by the Dual Bios that they have on this card but I have no further info whether this is overclock at stock voltage.
On other threads and reviews, I see GTX 670 overclocking its core clock more than 1200mhz O.O (omg). Though, I don't fully understand this overclocked, Boost overclock ***** Nvidia on their card. I haven't used any Nvidia cards after I sold my GTS 250 =.= . Those people on those threads/reviews say that it will out perform the 7970 even if they are both overclocked.. None of those threads/reviews showed any information whether both cards are overclocked on stock voltage, so I assume they have it overclocked at its MAX and probably the voltage are also overclocked too.
I mostly play BF3 @1080p, I see even at stock GTX 670 has better performance on this game. Though, I don't want it to be able to perform well on 1 or 2 games. I want it to at least perform every game, new generation games or this generation games and that's what the benchmarks for the 7970s are showing me.
I have two links of both cards I'm planning on getting:
7970 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102982
670 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125423
First, I want to know what we ca expect on a safe overclock @stock voltage for the 7970? is this going to out perform the gtx 670? is it worth the 50-70dollar difference?
2: is the 670 can out perform the overclocking setting of the 7970 when it is also overclock? I've other reviews saying it overclocks 1200+, 1300mhz.. I still cannot believe that!?
Where can i find an information that says when both are overclocked at it stock, one of these cards are going to perform better overall? or at least an info relative to that.
FYI: I'm not really sure how important it is for me the features of the cards, (though the 1gb additional on the AMD will be helpful in near future but I think I'll be upgrading to the newest card at that time..next year
) those adaptive vsync, or 3D, I never touched any features on any of my cards except overclocking it. (that can be a feature too, right?)
I hope my point on this thread is clear, even though I really have bad sentence structure which leads to my lack of education of grammar.
TBH, I am quite an AMD/ATI fan, since I really have never encountered any issues, except that it was really hard to overclock an AMD Phenom II 1090T CPU.. for it was.
just to make sure, the important thing i wanted to know how much both perform when overclocked without any change on the voltage! XD
