I am trying to decide between two cards the AMD Radeon 7950 and the Nvidia gtx 760. I am wondering what I will get better performance out of.

I'd give A minimal performance edge to the 760, but the value play to the 7950 and overall the 7950. You get a great bundle of games with the 7950 making it well worth your money!
 


Both the Radeon 7950 and 760 trade blows between each other, the 760 does have better driver support while the 7950 has more RAM (Excluding 4GB 760) and bigger bus width. It really comes down to looks or if you like the game bundles that come with AMD's cards as stated above. I got the GTX 760 instead of the 7950 simply due to the fact that ASUS's AMD 79X0 lineup was rather lacking and that I primarily use ASUS's cards, plus the cooler looked cool :p It has blown my mind in the performance increase over a 4870. The 760 generally gets slightly better performance and has good drivers, so if you don't want the free games, go 760, preferably the MSi Gaming as stated below or EVGA GTX 760s.
