Hello I would like to know if the new 7000 series from AMD is worth it. I have an 6870 which has been pretty good, but when playing Rift I can't max all the settings, and sometimes it gets a bit choppy. I was thinking of getting 7970 this summer, but I would like to know if it's true that I would need an Intel 3rd generation cpu in order to get the full advantage of the new GPU 7000 series, is this true?
Also I got an GS600 corsair would that be enough to power the new card?
Thanks a bunch!
My sig has my current rig.
