confusion b/w 7870xt(tahiti le) & GTX 660Ti...!!!

Vivek Viru · May 26, 2013

I want to buy a GPU, and i have two options

1. SAPPHIRE radeon HD 7870xt with boost (Tahiti le)

2. ASUS GTX 660ti Direct CU 2 TOP edition

i am stuck in confusion that,ASUS GTX 660 ti has 1059Mhz core clock
and sapphire has 925Mhz & upto 975Mhz turbo boost clock.But 7870 is 256 bit & has 6000Mhz memory speed,while 660ti is only 192 bit with 6008 Mhz memory speed.
so i am totally confused... and even i don't knw much about the performance of both the cards ..

plz help me out ..

Thanks in advance..

They are about equal in performance. It does not help trying to compare specs, you should look at real world benchmarks when deciding.

Get which one is cheaper.

What do you mean? What do you wanna know?

i mean, that i didn't get the perfect benchmarks .. the benchmarks are varying from one site to another.. i am not able to choose the right one still..!

That is pretty much normal. They are virtually equal in performance.

Vivek Viru :

It depends on the drivers. The best way to check benches is by making sure they are using the latest drivers.

They trade blows depending on the game tested. If you have a lower budget and want free games, get the 7870 xt but if you have a higher budget and prefer nvidia for its features such as physx or FXAA, get the 660 ti.

Vivek Viru · May 27, 2013

Are FXAA and Physix important for games involving that features...? can HD 7870 run games smoothly without those features...?

Novuake · May 27, 2013

Vivek Viru :

Very few games support either of those two. its a gimmick that changes the visuals in some games, Batman for example.

While the AMD will not run PhysX it will still run the game just fine, FXAA is just a Nvidia specific form of AA which is not really different from normal AA that the AMD can do BETTER thanks to a larger memory bus and more VRAM.

Also, FXAA is really just a blur filter. It works in some games but most of the time it just makes the game blurry.

7870 LE all the way. It compares more to a GTX 670 than a GTX 660 Ti plus you get the free game bundle.

It is a card that is asking to be overclocked as well. I just sold my GTX 680 and i got a 7870 LE and i feel i got a better bang for the buck.

what about Adaptive V-Sync in GTX 660Ti..?
whether it matters a lot in gaming...?

Novuake · May 31, 2013

Vivek Viru :

No, just another fancy word for nothign sprecific.

smeezekitty · May 31, 2013

Vivek Viru :

It is nice to have. But there is a free program called RadeonPRO which mimics the effect if Adaptive VSYNC on AMD cards.
