alright tnx guys but if you could give me reasons why that would be awesomejrlawson said:
At that resolution, either will perform great. They will run any game you can throw at them. The gtx 660 has a few more features than the 7870 though such as physx, and streaming.Radeon 7870 gets more FPS

But like Jrlawson said the GTX 660 has physx and streaming, I can't remember all of what AMD and Nvidia this video might help better.

Honestly, either one. They basically trade blows depending on the game.

Again, they are pretty much equal in performance. If you like Nvidia, go with the 660. If you like AMD, go 7870. If you don't care, flip a coin.

Question: If you have an amd processor would you say go with the 7870 because they are matching brands or does that not matter.

Doesn't matter, but if you don't have a powerful CPU get AMD because of Mantle.

Agreed. You don't have to go with an AMD CPU if you don't want to. Simply get the most powerful CPU you can. Mantle will help (only in BF4 right now). But know, the performance % gains decrease with the strength of the CPU. So for example, with an AMD APU you can have a possible boost of 40% in performance. If you have a strong i5, the gains will be less than 10%. Now, don't think you should the APU simply because of the % gains. An FX CPU or an i5 will destroy the APU in every situation when there is a discrete GPU.

Honestly even though the 7870 is technically a tiny bit faster in benchmarks that don't include PhysX games by a few fps(5 at max). I would go with the GTX 660, just because the features are very nice. Especially shadowplay, which technically the best recording software in terms of Fps impact, and file size. It also let's you record at all times, and if you were to have done something memorable, you could record up to the last 20 minutes without really recording when you don't need it. It's honestly up to you, but as someone who records game play, I'd go with GTX 660.
