Gtx 660ti or 7870

[Pr0paneSun]

Im planing on getting one of these soon and i cant decide, they cost almost the same in my country( a couple bucks of difference)
i play in a 1920x1080 monitor. I have a Quad Q9400 OC'd to 3.4Ghz(Yeah im aware of the possible bottleneck :/)
What dou you guys think is a better option

I would look at some benchmarks for the games you like or are likely to play as the cards are close in performance. I would lean to the 660ti though.

GTX 660 TI is in between 7870 and 7950.

You should just get a 7950 instead since it's better in most games and both cost around $300....

Here you go, HD 7870 performs about the same as 660 TI. HD 7950 beats it at about the same price.

Remember that they turned the settings higher for HD 7950 than 660 TI.

Man. It's good to see ATI finally putting out good drivers... instead of the *** they put out in the last few generations...

Yeah the 7950 beats the GTX 660 Ti in most benchmarks. The 7870 and GTX 660 Ti trade blows, with the more expensive GTX 660 Ti having the edge.
