Good Day All ! I have narrowed my choice down to a Gigabyte Radeon 7850 & an EVGA 750Ti Superclocked Graphics cards. They are both $130 & new in sealed boxes. I am an Nvidia person, But have no problem choosing the Radeon card if it is that much better. I play in 1920 x 1080 & mostly play Hitman Absolution, GTA IV Etc. Would the Nvidia with CUDA & PhysX bring it closer to the radeons Performance? My Specs are in my Sig. This new card purchase is brought about by my 2 month old R7 260X Crapping out on me. I am sending it in to Sapphire for repair or replacement & then selling it, In the meantime I am using my old EVGA 9800Gt.
Thanks in advance for any advice & have a Great Day.

In the end, if you are a Nvidia guy, they are pretty much the same actually, but these are some things to consider.

I would think the 7850 would be slighty better in graphics.

The 750 Ti is in the same tier, but trades performance for excellent power efficiency. Its usually combined with lower Wattage PSU but since yyou have a 850W psu, your computer can easily handle the 7850. And it also leaves room for crossfire later on (whereas the 750 Ti cannot be SLI'd).

i'll choose 7850 because it have faster Memory Bandwidth 153.6GB/sec vs 86.4GB/sec.... faster Texture Rate 50 GTexel/s vs 40.8 GTexel.... and faster Pixel Rate 27.5 GPixel/s vs 16.3 GPixel/s
but it need more power 130 vs 60 with your PSU its not a problem
i have the same R7 260X from Sapphire and its just great, i have no problem with it :)

In case anyone is curious, The same local shop is clearing out the 7000 series Radeons. I ended up getting a Sapphire 7950 3 Gb boost model, brand new in the box for $145. I just couldn't pass up that deal. I'll run it for a while, save up some money & see what the Nvidia 900 series has to offer 6 months from now.
