dual ATI Radeon HD7950 or Nvidia Geforce GTX 770?

EragonNZ · Jun 14, 2013

Thinking of buying a new PC and was wondering what would be better setup in the graphics card department? the new Nvidia Geforce GTX 770 or a dual ATI Raedon HD7950 setup?

HD 7950 CrossFireX is more powerful than a single GTX 770. If you already have a HD 7950, do you really need a second one?

there is a sale on and was looking at two different prebuilt PC and they are around the same price so was just asking to see what people thought, don't really know what I am talking about when it comes to building PC. Thanks for the swift reply though.

Are all the other components the same in the two builds? I find it hard to believe that only the GPUs are different amongst the two pre-built computers.

ksham :

I live in New Zealand and GTX 770 is extremely overpriced at the moment around 800 nz dollars and that is why they are around the same price at the moment but, on second look it still 150 nz dollars cheaper to go for single but is the dual card worth the extra?

Can you list out the specs for both pre-built computers?

the second one i posted the graphic card in their is GTX 680 but the guy said he can change it to GTX 770 for an extra 80 nz dollars

Are these used builds? Also, what PSU make and model are those?

Out of the two, I would choose the first one.

ksham :

don't know what PSU but both are the same make, and they are new builds. just double checked the price there a 300 dollar difference would you still go for the first one?

ksham · Jun 14, 2013

You should definitely ask before purchasing. A crappy PSU is just as costly. It can die very easily and cannot handle stress well. And if and when it does die, it can also kill your other components, forcing your to replace it all.

ksham :

what's a good make? does that matter when it comes with 3 year warranty?

ksham · Jun 14, 2013

Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (TX, HX, AX), Antec, PC Power & Cooling.

And unless the 3-year warranty also covers the bill for the rest of your components, I wouldn't care for it.

EragonNZ · Jun 14, 2013

Will defintely ask then, thanks for the help.

Would you recommend any other changes?

ksham · Jun 14, 2013

A CPU Cooler and a better motherboard for the second build.
