I've been mulling about upgrading my graphics card. I've been with an HD 5770 at 1920x1080 OCed to 960Mhz which has held surprisingly stable for most recent games at around 45-50fps. The prices on the two cards are pretty close, with the 7870 taking a nice performance gain on it... but I admit, Borderlands 2 is making me a sucker for its PhysX stuff, and is starting to make me question whether to flop back to an NVIDIA card or keep with the ATI cards. The game has also docked my FPS average in some places, though the game seems more optimized away from AMD/ATI builds in general (and was a bit laggy/problematic for many people across builds in general). Most games so far haven't had much push for using NVIDIA over ATI until Borderlands 2, that I've noticed, and the game seems particularly barren on my 5770.

What suggestions float around? This is around the price range I'd like to hang at, max. The specs on the 7870 seem pretty nice for moving forward in gaming too. Now it's just a question of it I can fit it in
