Just get this (or this, if you can afford it) and you're pretty much good to go with everything being on highest settings.

I've pinpointed the exact model and manufacturer for you. :\
Just get what's on the links and you'll be absolutely fine.



OP clearly said "300~330$ range".
He does NOT need neither the HD 7950, nor the GTX 670, because those ones would be an overpriced overkill for his demands.
He'll be absolutely fine with just HD 7870/GTX 660 Ti, they would be more than enough for him.
To run on highest settings everything that he mentioned, he does NOT need the GTX 670, so why should he pay more?

A 7950 would be better at 1080p and not overkill at all. The 670 is overpriced, the 7950 is beast for 300$ and he said 300 AFTER rebates. Imo the 7950 is worth it and far from being overpriced/overkill. Your investment will be worth every penny :) .

you do realize that Nvidia is the better brand in bf3 and that the 660ti is better then the 7950 in bf3 right? so if the 7950 would be overkill by your standards so it the 660ti which CANT max bf3 multiplayer consistently with good frame rates.



the 660ti is better. bf3 is an nvidia game and that just cant be argued.


says the guy with the nvidia picture.... derp derp

Do i have to REMIND you the 192 bit memory interface and the 660ti dying at more than 4x AA...
Do i also have to REMIND you the overclocking headroom of the 7950 and the fact that it is OVERALL better.

Its always like this between the 7950 and the 660 Ti..Both cards trade blows..When it comes to the forum its "The 660 Ti is better then the 7950 or vice versa then we throw around benchmarks then it get subjective.. Do your own benchmarks for one instead of canned every system is different

See thing bout this is all games dont favor 1 card some favors ati some favors nvidia and theres so many factors inbetween ..Benchmarks is cool but at the end of the day if you getting 60 frames per second on high/ultra settings or even 50+ who cares u know. As me being a gamer theres a few games i cant max out but from coming from a xbox to pc its a HELL of a difference by FAR and im pretty content with what i have now

Here goes the benchmarks as i predicted now its going to be subjective..Yes we know the 660 Ti has low bandwidth but it has higher memory clock speed then the 7950..Also yes the 7950 has higher bandwidth memory/bus which allows you to use at a higher res/more aa but has a lower memory clock speed imo still both cards are close..My imo its not needed to say the 7950 is a KILLER card because games the 660 Ti out preforms and some games the 7950 out preforms..This thread is been played 1000x times on here

Never intended to make you look like this to begin with, just made a standard emphasis on your minor mistake. Calm down, lol.


If I'm not mistaken, only forum moderators can delete posts on the Tom's forums, and I'm definitely not a moderator, so...just calm down and get over it, lol. Everything's fine.

P.S. And to your information: "English" aren't the native language for me too.

English is only one language so it's singular. Your sentence should be : ''English'' isn't the native language for me too.
(finally got my revenge :sol: )
