Hi, iv just spend an hour on reading reviews and seeing some benchmarks from techpowerup and other sites.
I`m looking for best price/performance, the card has to be mainly quiet since it is the aim of my build.

Here are my The cards im intrested in (Sorry i didnt make a cart but im away)

1. 7950 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-304-SP

Very good OC, quiet and performing as 7970 at stock.

2. 7870 http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-296-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=411 or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-099-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=411

3. 660Ti From gigabyte for 233 pounds i didnt give a link since it is a different shop.
I like borderlands 2 and BF3 and these are the games i currently play, but since in next year there are some great titles coming out i want something futureproof.


Yes, yes i know this been going on for months now. But i still havent got my answear from reading reviews and different forums...:confused:
 
Will you be overclocming?

Hard not to recommend an AMD card at the moment due to the price and game bundle. The 7950 is the fastest of those cards though.
 
What resolution do you game at?
If it's 1920 x 1200 or lower, get the GTX 660 Ti.

Mines great, for the following reasons.

Good performance.
Cuda for use with PowerDirector
PhysX for use with Borderlands 2
Great driver support with World of Tanks (which I currently play the most)

My past two rigs have been SLi, so I also intend to get a 2nd card as required in the future.

I've not had a single problem. ;)

I know but im looking for best bang for buck.


@UP

1920x1080 and i will stay with this res since i dont like monitors over 24 inch...
 
Yes, i will OC a little bit.

The card will be bought next week, so i will have to make my choice by than.
Thanks guys for participating in my thread!

+1 for a 7950, they overclock hugely and have great performance with these new drivers.
The 660Ti is not worth it at the same price as the 7950, the 7950 is in 670 performance league not 660Ti.

Than probably that 7950 would be my choice, but i will still wait and see what other people say.

The other things im intrested in is SSD and Mechanical keyboard since i do type quite a lot.
Im not too bothered waiting for my system to load since it loads in less than 40 sec so its not that bad. Mechanical keyboard again is louder than normal but the reaction time and how nicely it works...

Im intrested in Cherry red or brown and i do have a list of keyboards that tick most of the boxes.

No I am sure that is enough information for most people to work with.
Loving my Cherry blacks right now though.

Have you seen Logitechs new uber keyboard?


Cherry Browns and all the bells and whistles!
 
So my choice is the Sapphire 7950 vaproX i saw some people hit 1200+ and 1440+ on memory without much effort.

The keyboard i was looking on was Cooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Rapid Red and Brown.
Tenkeyless only, i never use it any way...
If it will be too loud for me (I have good hearing) than my choice will end up on getting microsoft sidewinder x6...
