Can't decide between GTX 660 or Radeon HD 7870?

Alex Chacko · Jan 7, 2014

So I've been finalizing decision for a graphics card, and I see that there are two good options for my budget out there, the:
ASUS GTX 660

and the
Sapphire Radeon HD 7870
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202025
Any suggestions on which to go with? They appear to have very similar specifications.

Well, according to Tom's article:

The R9 270 aka. 7870 is the best bang for you buck at the price range.

7870...make sure you have 500W psu so you can overclock it to gain 10% more performance
