Hello, I was looking to buy a 7970 graphics card and had pretty much settled on the Gigabyte 7970, then I saw that the place I was buying from offered Farcry 3 Hitman Absolution and Sleeping dogs with the XFX version. These are not my kind of games but if there is little difference between the cards should I just get the XFX? If the gigabyte version IS better then I might just stick with that.

So which card is better or are they pretty much the same?

XFX is better, because its core is the same and the memory is clocked a abit higher while being cheaper.

Won't a brand new GPU cost a lot more than the $400 I am spending? either way I have to get one over the next few weeks so 8000 isn't an option

7970 is a great card, the strongest in the market and yes, this is a sweet deal either way. Farcry 3 and sleeping dogs are both worth it IMO.
