Which Card - GTX660Ti or HD7950?

[Deton]

If you have a chance to get a GTX660Ti 3Gb OC version for $340 and a HD7950 ref for $270. Which one would you pick and why?

[Doctor_Death]

Defiantly the GTX660Ti, it out performs the 7950 if every single way that matters, but to be honest with you, why not go with the GTX670 for $60 more ?

660ti. It was specifically made to outperform it, so why not get the better card for $70?

[Doctor_Death]

You can buy this factory overclocked Gigabyte GTX670 for $399

[Deton]

Because the 3Gb overclocked 660Ti performs as fast as the 670 for cheaper, both cards has identical specs except the 670 has high mem bandwidth.
So how can you justify the cost differences of $60 vs the performance of the 670?

[SamCR3]

660Ti without question. It is far superior in every way to the 7950. In fact it is faster than every card in AMD's line up with the exception of the 7970, which costs way more.

I like the 660Ti too.

AMD is lucky that NVIDIA didn't release the 660Ti 6 months ago,...........

660ti without question.

[Deton]

even the 7950 is $64 cheaper?

[alan1476]

660Ti and don't even consider any upgrade unless its to the 670GTX.

In my opinion, $64 in savings is no savings at all when you compare the two cards. I'd gladly pay $100 more for the 6660Ti because it is SO MUCH more card. Fortunately, it's not a $100 more so this is a no brainer. Get the 660Ti, or better yet get two of them!!!!

I'm not sure if two 660Tis are better than a 680, it is definitely more money here.

Good point. Not sure either. The cheapest 680 I saw on Newegg is $500. The cheapest 660Ti is $300, so one 680 is a little less than two 660Ti's. Be interesting to see a review comparing one 680 against two 660Ti's. Anyway you slice it though, you get a ton of performance for a decent price. I paid nearly $600 for my one 7970 and I'm sure two 660Ti's would beat it (I know the 680 does).

This would be a great battle, i think stan should make this happen. My vote would be on the 2 660ti's nothing based on that just a hunch.

I think so too,............

[xelosia]

I would definatly go with the GTX660Ti for its preformance improvement over the hd7950
