Well, if you're looking for the best of the best in video cards, AMD just dropped the price of it's flagship by $300.  This card is on par with the NVIDIA 690 and Titan, but is now $300 cheaper.  Still expensive at $700, but newegg has a PowerColor Brand listed for 589.99 after rebate. Oh, and you get 8 free games with the purchase: Crysis 3/ Bioshock Infinite/ Tomb Raider/ FarCry3/ Deus Ex: Human Revolution/ Hitman: Absolution/ Sleeping Dogs/ FarCry3: Blood Dragon

Still expensive, but that is a steal compared to Nvidia.

Hmm I wonder if Nvidia will drop their prices. I wouldn't mind testing AMD out, but I have a hard time giving up Nvidia, especially with their recording coming out soon.

Being cheaper as well as currently offering free games was my motivation to switch. The first 7970 I got died after about 2 weeks but the 2nd one had been running leaps and bounds over my old 460 sli setup. No Physx but that really wasn't a killer for me. The Batman games are the only ones I owned that really use Physx to their potential.
