Hi everyone--just made my new desktop and all I have left is to choose a video card. My maximum price would be $250 but I'd like to spend a little less if possible. I've been checking out the GTX 760 and the Radeon HD 7950. The 7950 is definitely cheaper ($180-$200 on newegg after rebates) compared to the $250 GTX 760. It looks like the 7950 has an extra GB of RAM and also scores higher on PassMark's website (4600 vs. 4000).
Does anyone have a recommendation on these cards? I'm confused as to why the Radeon is so much cheaper when it is seems to be better. nVidia has always been my brand of choice, but I would be okay with switching.
Any advice on these two cards, or a different card (<$250) that would be recommended?
Thanks!
For reference, the rest of my system:
CORE I7-4770K
MSI Z87-G41 PC MATE 1150 ATX
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB 2133 (PC3 17000)
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro M2 RS720-SPM2D3-US 720W ATX12V V2.3
Samsung 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III SSD MZ-7TE250BW
