Will this graphics card suit my needs?

Question

Its called: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHZ OC 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (11199-03-20G)
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-GDDR5-Graphics-11199-03-20G/dp/B007JCNOY6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355976369&sr=1-1&keywords=sapphire+radeon+7870

Id like to play games like Skyrim, The darkness 2, Bioshock, far cry 3...all on high settings. Will it work for me?

It is very close to this card but the GTX 660 Ti wins in more than it loses.  Look at the BF3 benchmarks.  Way better.

Either card though.  The 7870 is no slouch.  I personally would take the 660 Ti.

for that price you might as well get a 7950
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202006
it comes with 3 free games and a discount on a fourth.
it also performs much better.

also after the rebate it only costs $10 more than the 7870.
