I m a bit tight on budget.If going with nvidia which config should i go for?
1.gigabyte gtx 660 oc 14k +i5 3550 12.3k,total 26.3k
or
2.asus gtx 660ti dc2t 23k+ pentium g630 3.4k,total 26.4k

If i go with 2nd option i will upgrade to an i5 in a few months time.Will i see any performance diff at my resolution between the above 2 config?I think i7 r an overkill for gaming,thats y no i7.

I have a 9800gtx right now,which is a decent card.If i dont get a graphics card right now i can get an i5 3570k+asus maximus v gene+seasonic 620w psu+gskill ripjawx 8gb ddr3 1600mhz ram from a 2.2ghz core 2 duo+biostar g31mobo+2gb ddr2 800mhz ram+cooler master extreme power 600w psu which i currently have.But the problem is these components wont make that much of a difference as a 660 or a 660ti would make over a 9800gtx,right?I mean in gaming.I m building a system for 3yrs down the line.What should i go with,a bit confused?

So i have decided to go with the gtx 660ti graphics card.But i m a bit confused over which model to go for.Here r my options:
Gigabyte gtx 660ti windforce 2x(non oced)@19.5k
MSI gtx 660ti pe twin frozer iv-21.7k
Asus gtx 660ti dc2t-23k
Zotac 660ti amp-24k

Will i see any performance diff in real life between these cards?Msi had the voltage issues with their card,so i m a bit skeptical about going for it,though ppl say the unlocked voltage is a boon :rolleyes: Which gtx 660ti should i go for keeping all the things in mind?

Does PhysX even matter? ;)

^^THIS.
Nvidia Physx is not something that is game changing or has too much to do with game play in large number of titles.As always there are other alternatives too.

AMD Catalyst 12.11 Performance Analysis

The gains are quite significant in many titles(Sleeping Dogs,battlefield 3,WoW 3,Star craft 2).
GCN cards benefit.VLIW cards don't benefit as per the review.

Which one would be a better buy considering price and performance

1) Sapphire HD 7950 3GB DDR5 OC edition @ 24000 INR

or

2) MSI GTX 660Ti PE 2GB DDR5 @ 21000 INR

For games like Skyrim with HD textures DLC with ultra settings, Witcher 2, Flight Simulator X(Highly favors Nvidia Cards) etc

Resolution will be 1920x1080

Only thing that worries me about GTX 660Ti is its 192 bit memory interface. I don't know how much of a difference it makes in actual performance.

Get the Sapphire OC edition hd7950.Sapphire Vaporx hd7950 is also available for 24k.Check if you can get that.
Overall hd7950 is quite a bit faster than gtx660ti.Once you put more AA into the game the gap widens even more.Skyrim is the perfect example of this.
Even hd7870 gets the better of gtx660ti at higher AA levels in some games like skyrim.

The problem with 7950 vapor x is the unlocked voltage complaints in many of the cards,the dual x is a better option.Also the gtx 660ti performs a bit better than a 7950 at resolutions up to full hd even with full anti aliasing.It gets defeated only in the 2500*1600 and above resolutions where it's less memory bandwidth becomes a problem.

Not aware of the complaints with hd7950 vapor x.You can go with other custom versions of hd7950.

HD7950 in most of the games perform better than gtx660ti @FHD.
According to many reviews during the release of gtx660ti,gtx660ti fares nearly as good as the hd7950 but most of the comparison takes place with a stock hd7950(800MHz).
Even with new bios patched to the reference hd7950 will take the lead.

GALAXY GTX 660 Ti GC OC vs. OC GTX 670 & HD 7950
In this review both gtx660ti and gtx670 are clocked around 100MHz higher than hd7950 but still hd7950 comes out on top technically.

AMD Catalyst 12.11 Performance Analysis
In this review you can see mostly that hd7950 is ahead of gtx660ti even before the newest performance driver.

As far as skyrim is concerned even before the latest performance driver and latest bios patch,hd7950 performs better than gtx660ti with performance difference increasing in favor hd7950 once you apply more AA.

The thing is that at 1920*1080(without AA) there is a small gap but once you have AA added to it then a good amount of gap is there in favor of hd7950.
