I am looking to upgrade from my old power hungry NVidia 460 2win to something more efficient and effective. I do belive I have narrowed it down to three options. 2 of them are the EVGA GTX 660 Super clocked here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130833 and here http://www.newegg.co...82E16814130835. The difference between them is that the second one has 3GB of GDDR5 ram not 2. Or the XFX Double (I believe the double just means 2 fans) Radeon 7870. All of these cards are at the peak of my price range I can't really go much higher. What I want to know is which will give the most performance upgdrade from my EVGA GTX 460 2win here http://www.newegg.co...82E16814130626. I have 8 gigs of DDR3 ram and I have an AMD Phenon II Six core processor at I believe 3.4 GHz. Now what provide the best upgrade in performance from my current card? Power supply is not an issue I have an 850 Watt psu. I play Warframe, Borderland 2, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, planning on getting BF4. I run a single monitor at 180p....

That first one you posted is too long for my case... And how would it outperform all of the others? the XFX has better clock speeds than the Sapphire does.

Both of the cards that I linked are based on the GPU in the 7970/7950, rather than being an actual 7870. It's just a poor naming choice on the part of AMD. Either one will give you performance comparable to a 7950, but for about the same price as a 7870.
