Looking at gettig a new GPU for my computer (i5 Haswell, 8Gb RAM, MSI Z87-GD45) and am looking for what I can get for around $200.
And so I am looking at the card types:
1. GeForce GTX660 Ti
2. Radeon HD7870
3. Radeon HD7950
Pros/ cons of each? I am primarily gaming so that is the main use of the card. Don't want to SLI/ Crossfire now, but maybe in a year or so to up the grunt of the rig.

Has anyone used 2 or 3 of these cards and can give a valid judgement on these? Any Radeon fans out there? (There don't seem to be too many nowadays). I don't want a one-sided view.

Go! Write! Opinionate! Time is your enemy!

Performance wise: hd7950>gtx660ti>hd7870.
There are still some issues with crossfire rather than with SLI, but since you only plan to double the card in 1 year, the crossfire issues should be solved. Id go for the hd7950.
