Hey Guys,
I had used GTX 560 ti sometime ago and it was really a good card but now is the time for upgrade. I've been waiting for some time to buy a graphic card within 25k range. I've been following some forum threads from past 1-2 months where new AMD Drivers are said to be matured and there's considerable gain of performance in all games whereas nvidia drivers doesn't have that much advantage.
I've shortlisted Sapphire HD 7950 OC ( 25.5k from flipkart ) and MSI NGTX 660 Ti TFIV ( 23K from ebay global )
The gaming performance difference between GTX 660 ti and HD 7950 is remarkable enough to make me lean towards GTX 660 ti. But are the 384-bit memory bus, 3GB DDR5 RAM are of any importance for future games ? I don't care for computing power as i won't do folding@home nor any app will be utilized in my case. This new card will stay with me for at least 5-6 years before next upgrade. So, i want your opinions and if someone says go for HD 7950 then why should i go for HD 7950 with reasons pls ? If you've experienced performance improvement results, pls post some details.
Since, i'll be shelling out lot of money, i want to be extra careful with it. I game only at 1080p and have no intentions to upgrade to higher res anytime. My Rig is mentioned in my signature.
Awaiting your replies.
Thanks,
Ashis
