Gtx 660 superclocked or Radeon 7850 2GB

[Derek T]

I am trying to decide which graphics card to get because i currently have a Geforce GTX 260 and would like to upgrade. I am planning on playing games such as Elder Scrolls Online when it comes out and Battlefield 3 or 4. I would really appreciate some feedback. Also both graphics cards are listed at the same price($200). Thank You.

If you plan on heavy overclocking, I would recommend a 7850. If you are just going to do a little, the 660 is better. The 7850 can generally overclock higher than the 660 can, but the 660 is a little stronger to begin with. You can also get a 7850 for something like $185-190.

the 660 is better even without getting an oc'd version. A mildly factory OC'd 660 is equivelant to a stock 7870, the stock 660 is only slower by about 1-2%. so you should really compare the 7870's and 660s, they are both a fair step ahead of the 7850. So if they are the same price, then get the 660 for sure.

I found 2 links for each graphics card though and if the 660 is better than should i get it from here http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SUPERCLOCKED-Graphics-02G-P4-2662-KR/dp/tech-data/B00966IREK/ref=de_a_smtd or here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130825&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814130825&gclid=CN2J-IjgpbYCFYje4Aodr34AyQ and also what specs would effect if i can use the 660.

Would the 660 super-clocked out perform the 660 ti? I'm not sure and also about the specs, which ones would i need in order to use the 660 super-clocked version.
