Need advice EVGA 660 Ti vs Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 OC

[slaximus]

Hello,
Upgrading from XFX 6850 BE with an Antec Earthwatts 650W 955BE OC to 3.7GHz, and just wondering which is a better deal... I plan on doing a triple monitor display(1080p), mainly playing Guild Wars 2

EVGA 660 Ti (219.99 After MIR) http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_559&item_id=051603

Gigabyte 7870 OC (209.88) http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_557_558&item_id=047885

The best is GTX 660 Ti.
It way better than 7870. And 7870 isn't worth the price you listed in your sites.

Are you going to game at 5760x1080 ? 3 monitor support that resolution.

Yes the resolution will be 5760*1080

Prices of the 7870 is 209 and 660 Ti is 219 after MIR**

Thanks for the feedback!

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Those cards will struggle at that resolution.
You will need better cards for that.

 

[slaximus]

Struggle on Ultra/High or struggle in general? I usually play most games medium-high

 

[iam2thecrowe]

older games will be ok at that res. something like farcry3 or BF3 will struggle.

Thoughts on Guild Wars 2 playability?

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Yup, you'll easily play that game in Med-High.

No way!OP if you buy one of these cards please post a update.I sure as hell do not believe you can run three 5760*1080 and game on high settings with either card.I bet your avg. 20-30fps lol.
