So out of these two which one is the best? They are the same priced:

Which one is best for playing most current games at 1920x1080 medium to high settings?
Ive seen some benchmarks where the GTX660Ti out performs the 7950 but also some where the 7950 out performs the 660ti, however since ill be using a dual monitor setup (only one screen for games other for online browsing ect) would the extra memory of the 7950 be an advantage?

Also how well would the perform on next gen games when slightly overclocked?
 
Both gpus are great and very closely matched. I would look over benches of games you play or are likely to play and see which one comes out on top the most. AMD is giving away a lot of games which is a great deal as you only get Metro with a 660ti. You could go either way and probably never see the difference in actual gameplay.

7950 have more bits bytes and gigabytes... gtx 660 ti in games its like a fiasco. my brother have one. don´t meet my needs even 1920x1080 maxed. i have tried 660ti on phenom 965 = fail and 3770k = fail. 7950 our 670 for games don't get 128bits our 192bits... (y) 256bits +++
 


I must be the only other one that knows the 660 series needs an i5 or better to perform as it's portrayed to perform. a lesser processor really puts the hurt on it. AGREE 100% with you.
 


I disagree. When I ran a single 660GTX, every game could be maxed except Crysis 3 at 1080p. Sure it has a smaller bus, but the performance is still there just the same. Most games won't use more than 2GB of gpu memory. Unless you are going to use a multicard setup, you really don't need more. My 660GTX SLI 2GB games great in surround with decent settings. Just look at benchmarks and decide on that.
 


what processor/what resolution/what DX?
