Gtx 670 vs radeon hd 7950

[bloyd2906]

It's a $50 difference, i'm wonderin which i should go with. i do a lot of heavy gaming, mostly just rts and rpg/mmorpg however. i will be running dual hd 24"/22" monitors, not while gaming.

the 670 will have better performance, but i would say its honestly about the deal you can get, they are both very capable cards and should do you well with your setup, what specific games?

i would say the 670 gtx is better then the 7950. if you step up to a 7970 then i would say go with the 7970 over the 670 gtx.

And, what psu?

Rts-wise, lots of starcraft 2 and the dawn of war II franchise. i don't play many fps on the pc. with mmo's ill get into wow and such

those games are motley cpu dependent either of those cards will do for what your using them for. go with the cheaper one.

my psu is a http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cmpsu750txv2 i got it on sale for the same price as a 650, so i thought why not/

 

[bloyd2906]

i appreciate the help! im thinking to go with the 670

 

[Deeks]

that psu will be fine for either of those cards

The games that your planning on playing or currently play do better with the Nvidia cards. Grab the 670 FTW edition from EVGA and dont look back.

Basically this

if the cards are equal, then what it comes down to is

price
what card performs better in x games you play
cooling
size

@ stock despite the autoboost the 670 will be faster, but once you start to overclock the 7950 will pull ahead in most games. I would go for the 7950 myself its overclock well over 1.1ghz matching the gtx 680 and 7970 most of the time
