GTX 660 Ti or Radeon 7950

[HorrayforPeePee]

Hey guys, I am looking to upgrade my
current Old rig
. I have been looking
at the 660ti for a while, mostly as
I want a bang for buck card that I
am not spending over 25k for.
I thought I might buy myself a
present this Christmas and pick up one a new card so started looking at the
price and found that the 7950
and the 660ti are almost the same
price. (actually the 7950 is
cheaper) So from what I have read there
was a new driver that boosted
the performance of the 7950s a
bit so they now outperform the
660ti's. The benchmark reviews
seem to all be outdated. That and there has also been a price drop which might
be good. For the money and performance in December 2012 what is the best choice? 3GB 7950 OC or the 2GB GTX660Ti ?

HD 7950 3GB OC is the better bet.

It is well faster than GTX 660 Ti after Catalyst 12.11 beta.

 

[HorrayforPeePee]

whats difference between Radeon 7950 OC and Ghz edition ?

 

[Myth]

Ghz editions have a core clock >= 1ghz

 

[HorrayforPeePee]

is sapphire better or MSI?

 

[Skud]

Pricewise, Sapphire is better atm.

 

[HorrayforPeePee]

what is the price of OC and vapour x version?

 

[Skud]

Should be around 23-25k.

 

[Myth]

[HorrayforPeePee]

well at 1st I was going with Radeon 6870 then after reading reviews here and there I suddenly changed my mind to GTX 560 ti then Radeon 7870 and then GTX 660 ti, I have made up my mind not to fluctuate more and would like to get a GPU at fixed 25K not more than This

^ so pick up Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X with Boost.

Buy the 7950 locally. Local price will be atleast 1k cheaper than Flipkart.
Where do u stay in Mumbai ?
There are very few members on this forum from Mumbai.

PS - its always better to mention your other rig components before asking for help in such cases.

Is that vapor-x

 

[rohit32407]

^^ Nope that's simple boost version with 'Dual-X' cooler and not the 'Vapor-X'.

OP, if you are open to buy Online or outside Mumbai then contact Vedant Computer, Kolkata. Currently they're offering the cheapest price for the Sapphire 7950 VApor-X edition. A couple of forum members here, most of 'em are from different states have bought lot of components from them and they're extremely happy with the service. Just call them, ask about the price and shipping details and order the product if you like it. Regarding their reliability, I can vouch for them.

Hey guys I just went to local dealer here, is this a good deal?
Zotac GTX 660 Ti = Rs. 20,500/-
SApphire Radeon 7950 = Rs. 22,700/-
Nvidia GTX 670 = Rs. 27,500/-
and for other brands the price may fluctuate by Rs.500-1000

This is my upcoming Rig not yet assembeled, but in pc component i have posted a thread whether this is good for my graphic cards and i have got few suggestion to choose some of these components, so it all depends on which graphic card i'm going for and then i can configure the hardware components.
Motherboard- intel desktop DH67BL
CPU- Intel core i5 2500k
RAM- Transcend DDR3 1333 4gb
PSU- Corsair GS500
Monitor resolution- 1080p

 

[Myth]

2500k and H67 not the right combo.
What is the brand of gtx670 ?
GigaByte GTX 670 Graphic Card: 25,805

What is the point in running two threads with same purpose ?

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/graphic-cards/167955-gtx-660-ti-radeon-7950-a.html

Better to create a thread for a complete system and configure the GPU along with it.

Which brand gtx 670 ?
You should take another 4 GB RAM to make it 8 and the mobo u ve chosen isnt a good choice for 2500k. Also at this stage you should opt for a 3570k configuration instead of 2500k by adding 3k. Or if you cant afford that 3k - you should go for an amd config with the 8350.
Also - In Mumbai - never buy at the dealers first quote. First quote is always negotiable.
