Between the ASUS GeForce GTX690, PowerColor Radeon 7990, or Radeon 7970 GHz Edition X 2
$1100 is the budget so I could get any of these, I have been using Radeons since the 9800 Pro, but was thinking about switching back to the Green Team especially since physics is used in a lot of games these days and the idea of buying a nvidia card anyway in conjunction with a radeon to get physics seems like a waste of $$$ to me
and the 690s are a lot more easily available for purchase unlike the "limited" Matrix 7970 Platinum or "impossible to get one" Ares II
I haven't used Nvidia since the GeForce 4 days so I am not as familiar with then as I used to be.
Any advice?
