13-15K will get you a HD7850 but spending 1.5-2k more is enough to grab a HD7870 and when OCed it can go after a HD7950.

Check the reviews and decide for yourself . 660 ti stock settings ( 915 Mhz ) vs HD 7950 GHZ edition ( 1000 Mhz ), Crysis 3 VGA Graphics Benchmark performance test - DX11 - VERY High Quality - FXAA performance

Clearly, the 660 ti wins. If you decide to overclock go for HD 7950 else GTX 660 Ti.

Another Best bet is new HD 7870 XT which is chipped down version of Tahiti Pro HD 79xx series. I would choose this over HD 7870 GhZ and GTX 660 Ti / HD 7950 as it offers bang for buck and very good price : performance ratio.

No need to chnage mobo or PSU..

additional cooling not need for GPU, but good ventilation in case is recommended.

660Ti can be OCed.

Better get HD 7870 by spending 16.5K. Although HD 7850 can run most of the games in 1080P resolution with good amount of details, the current games like FAR Cry 3, Crysis 3 are extremely demanding and offer plenty of advanced DirectX11 features which when enabled can kill the performance of Mid range cards. So my suggestion will be to get a HD 7870 which is a better choice considering the price point.

If you can spare:

22k->7950
20k->660Ti
16k->7870
13k->7850

All are good, all are OC'able.

Yup, It's available for Rs 18200 shipped from PrimeABGB and Rs 18115 shipped from mdcomputers.in . I had asked them via phone and they replied it on mail.

Check this REVIEW site, a very very detailed and lots of game benchmarks !! : Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT with Boost im Test - Hitman: Absolution (Seite 35) - HT4U.net

With 1536 shaders in its chip, it can deliver performance similar to HD 7950 in some cases :)

It's the best under 20K for now.

What the hell is wrong with that site? How can GTX580 go toe to toe with 7950 or 670 and beat the 660Ti across all benchmarks?
