Geforce GTX 670 or HD Radeon 7850 (Performance & Price)

[Nsync]

Hello,
My work is 3D Programs & Database Programs, so is there a big different between GTX 670 & Radeon 7850 according to the price?
because GTX 670 = $400 & HD Radeon 7850 = $260
there's about $140 difference in price
Note : My LCD = 23"

another thing,
if i need to make a future's SLI/CF & my board have PCIe 3.0 x16 = 2 (x16/0 or x8/x8), my SLI/CF will work on x8/x8, is that ok for both cards? or one of them more better than other with dual x16?

Hi

Does any of the programs you use utilise CUDA or Open CL?

You haven't mentioned gaming, if your not interested in gaming then I see very little point in spending so much on a graphics card.

i'm using graphics Programs not games

hes asking because only a very specific list of games will use cuda, and if it can use cuda, thats where nvidia cards will shine.

What you need is a card that has good GPU compute power. An HD 7850 Has 1.75 TeraFLOPS compute where a HD6870 has 2.0 and a HD 6950 has 2.25. you can go to Nvidias website to get specs on the gtx670. The best bang for the $ would be a HD 6950 with 2gigs of vram or for $100 more an HD 7870 is about the same GPU compute power. Although a GTX 670 will smoke the rest of these cards in gaming, a card that costs less than half as much may be faster for the work you do.

but i think that HD 6950 is an old Architecture, On the contrary HD 7850 come with new Architecture with tha same price & performance

Which graphics programs specifically?

AutoCAD
Revit Architecture & Structure
Adobe Programs
Oracle Primavera & Oracle Database
