J jamesyboy1111 Distinguished Dec 2, 2013 74 0 18,630 Dec 3, 2013 #1 SO i have been wondering which is better, the 660ftw or a 7870. In case you dont know the ftw edition means it has 3gb instead of the usual 2. So for pretty decent games such as payday two and battlefield 3/4 what would be better?
