Hey i just switch out my GPU getting bad frames and choppiness. The reason for the Switch is my mobo cannot run sli only cross fire (asus M5 A97 R2.0) thought radeon would work better with my mobo. prier to the switch saint rows was working great now it sucks. sytem info ram 16gb ddr3 1600 Ballistix,16gb ddr3 1600 Vengeance, corsair TX750 80bronze,3TB HDD harddrive, 1TB HDD HARDdrive Windows7 64 Home Premium(yes i know i need to upgrade my os to use all 32gb of my ram). like i said earler only my gpu has change and its like im running a old gpu

You can overclock 7950s to the speed of a 7970, it'll come within 1-2FPS of a 7970 at stock speeds.

Even if you weren't overclocking, the 7950 should be better in the long run.

Oh, they're on par with each other, but there are a few advantages going for the AMD:

The 660ti has a lower memory bus and less vRAM. Whilst the 7950 has more vRAM and a higher memory bus. Not to mention, games are starting to be optimized for AMD hardware.

Not sure what you're saying here, you've already got both cards? Or should you pick the best one? It depends what you play, some games may utilise nVidia's Physx, if you don't like it, or don't play games that use it, I'd go for the more powerful 7950.

Actually most overclock enough to beat a 7970 stock pretty easily.
