I need a GPU to install in my new rig
I built the rig for CAD so I was looking for nVidia cards around my budget (not more than 240$).
The only card I found was GTX 660 (non ti)
however, i found the AMD Bundle in their cards is intersting. I get Bioshock Infinite" and Tomb Raider with the 7870. And most reviews show that 7870 has higher benchmark
Now my question, does the GTX 660 really worth it with their CUDA thing ? I will be using ANSYS mainly but also I will do gaming (converting from Ps3 and Xbox360).
I used ANSYS in the old rig which got an old AMD card and it was fine, so is it really worth it with the CUDA?? is there going to be a huge difference?
the other question
I found two 7870 brands:
HIS 7870 IceQ 2 GB
sapphire 7870 xt 2 GB
which one is better ? the HIS is 20 $ less, but is the sapphire XT much better?
and the most important thing for all cards (the 660 and the two 7870 ) is the reliability. I want a decent card without any long term problems (heating or shuttering or crashing)
The reliability thing is among the performance for me
My spec are:
intel i7 3770k
asrock extreme4 z77
corsair ram 16gb
corsair 750 watt psu
500 GB blue WD HDD
