7950 vs 660 ti vs 670

[_sean_]

Hey guys I am looking to upgrade my 6850 soon, and I was wondering whether you think I should go with a 7950, a 660ti, or a 670. I had heard that the 7950 could top a 670 and even near a 680, but I saw some recent benchmarks that show that the 660ti is better? I would just like to know how these cards stack up against each other, and which is the best bang for the buck.

Thanks in advance.

Some of depends on your system specs etc, but in general:

If you are planning to OC, the 7950 is and has always been the best bang for your buck.

If not, grab the 670.

I have a 2500k and 8gb of ram, so I don't think that will bottleneck it. I will overclock it to around 1100 mhz for the core clock if I get a 7950. How will that compare to a 670? If it only means spending a little more to get a decent performance increase I will.

GTX 670 and 7950 pretty much performs on the same when overclocked....

but the 670 costs $70 more lol.

7950, best bang for buck

Ok, thanks for your answer. Now, should I go with the gigabyte windforce or the sapphire vapor-x? I want the lowest temperatures because I plan on overclocking.

Vapor-X, Windorce is really loud because of tri-fan.
