But I am not really happy with my MSI Twin Frozr HD7950OC. It's just not what I wanted performance wise. Probably should have saved for a 7970 or a 670.
Just had to ask you about what your goal is here? I'm pretty new to this site but I always see you spouting this AMD stuff over and over. I mean it seems like you just wait for a noob and then pounce on them with AMD AMD AMD!

Its just a good deal available. When you say you are not happy with the performance of the MSI HD 7950 OC do you mean stock or overclocked perf. Because overclocked perf is very good. If you got a bad chip which does not OC well that sucks.

If there was a custom GTX 670 card available for less than USD 350 it would be awesome for price perf. But thats not the case. If you are overclocking these cards HD 7950, HD 7970, GTX 670, GTX 680 all end up pretty close. So what matters is do you want to pay extra for the higher stock performance.

4870s simply don't have the shader cores of more modern GPUs.I went from 4870 to 5850..It was a LOT better..
