My PC configuration is:
i7 2600k
8GB DDR3 Corsair vengeance @1600 Mhz
ASUS z68 pro gen3
PSU Corsair TX750W
i use 1080p resolution on a 24" screen...
I need a decent GPU for decent gaming.
My shortlists were:
Mid Ranged:
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 660 AMP! Edition
SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD HD 7870 2GB DDR5 XT WITH BOOST
Lower Mid Ranged:
SAPPHIRE GRAPHICS CARD HD 7850 2GB DDR5 OC
ZOTAC GRAPHICS CARD GTX 650 TI 2GB DDR5 BOOST
I cant spend more than $350..
And in my country the prices for the above are:
7870 XT - $362 ($12 is fine for me)
660 AMP! - $344
7850 OC - $292
650 Ti Boost - $246
I ruled out 660 Ti because the pricing starts from $430 here..
I want to know if it is worth spending that much for 7870 XT...
Is it better than the Zotac 660 AMP?!
I included the lower end models coz they are a lot cheaper and with not much of a performance drop(7850 OC), and because the 650 Ti boost gives good value for money...
I dont know if im going to overclock or not, but it wouldnt do harm to have a
card with better OCing capabilities. Will it be worth the extra $100 or so if I choose the 7870 XT/660 AMP! over the 650 Ti Boost for the performance I will get??
