Hi guys,so basically i want to find out which of these particular 2 cards perform better.I'm low on budget and GT760 is 20$ cheaper...

R7950-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

GTX760-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125466&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

EDIT:Does boost mean it automatically overclocks to 1150mhz when needed or do i have to overclock manually?

I have a windforce cooled card, and they use those on factory overclock. This mean you do not need to do any overclocking. However these cards often are very easy to overclock more if you so disire.

Go with the GTX 760.

Both cards perform almost indetically, but the Geforce card is cheaper and nVidia has better driver support.

The "boost" is handled by the card and software itself, no fiddleling is needed.
