as the title says, I am seeking answers to which card is better than the other because a lot of websites say that the 7790 is better than the 650 Ti Boost and vice versa.

Not only am I asking which card is better but also, which card would bottleneck more than the other with these specifications:

CPU : Intel Core i3 550 @3.2 GHz
GPU : Power Color Radeon HD 5570 1GB DDR3
RAM : G.Skill Ripjaws 1x4GB DDR3 1333
PSU : Seasonic M12II 620W
HDD : Samsung HD502HJ 500 GB 7200 RPM SATA
MB : Asus P7H55-M LX
OS : Windows 7 Home Basic 32-Bit

oh and Im running on 1600x900 resolution

anyway,
if I were to buy the Radeon HD 7790,
I would wait for Sapphire to release a 7790 with 2GB DDR5, DUAL-X Cooling, and Factory Overclocking

and if I were to buy the GTX 650 Ti Boost,
I would buy the MSI GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB DDR5 Twin Frozr III
or should I consider buying from ASUS?

Thank You in Advance!

I doubt the GTX 650 TiB would get bottle necked, if it did it would be negligible - barely noticeable. Out of 5 comparisons I've read, the GTX 650 TiB beat the Radeon HD 7790. The one case i seen the 7790 win in 9/10 game benchmark tests was one where they tested the Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Dual-X OC vs a factory GTX 650 TiB. But the consensus indicates the 650 TiB is generally a better card but for a slightly higher price (~30).
