I have an affinity for the Radeon brand, but I'm finding some things about the Geforce 660 Ti are better than the Radeon 7950. The 660 Ti runs quieter and cooler and has a smaller power draw. One question I have: all Geforce 660 Tis are PCIe 3.0, right?
I found this benchmark comparison page: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/550?vs=647
The cards are pretty much even with games (sometimes one is better than the other, and vice versa). In the benching, the Radeon far outperforms on the SmallLuxGPU 2.0d4 test. What does this mean and does this really matter? The Radeon also outperforms the Geforce on the tests for DirectX 11 Detail Tessellation Sample (for both Normal and Max). The thing is, does any of that really matter? Is the Radeon technically the better card? Nonetheless, will both do me very well for about 3 years?
