HIS 7950 or Gigabyte Winforce 3x 7950 but prices would sway me to the HIS.
I cannot recommend an nvidia card at current pricing tbh.....

Lol the only time I see a recommendation for a 660 ti is when sodamart is in the thread : p
He has a very special relationship with his dear GTX660Ti.
All those sharp edges, ouch!

The 7950.
Because the nVidia comparison on a price point level doesn't compete on performance. Quite simply, the 7950 is just outright faster and a better card.
The 660Ti competes on performance terms - and is slower than with AA applied - a 7870. It's not really comparative to a 7950 other than in price.
Get a 7950.

You guys sure about the 7950 being much faster?
TPU seems to say otherwise

Erm they do at giving you an idea of 2 cards relative performance lol
"Erm" they don't. They completely disregard situations where performance on one brand is unexpectedly much higher or lower.
You just need to have a look at the individual game benchmarks to understand that part. For example their Dragon Age 2 results show there being no difference between that 660Ti, 670 and 7970 at 2560x1600 with 4aa, and a 7950 being behind a GTX580.
Or in Metro 2033 where it's shown that a GTX580 is about 20% faster than the 660Ti.
Or how about Sniper Elite, where it's shown that a 7950 is about 50% faster than the 660Ti at 2560x1600 with 0aa.
What about Starcraft II? It has the 660Ti right next to a 7970.
Do I really need to go on showing why relative performance charts are largely meaningless?
That's not even covering the fact that the review is on old drivers (August).
I don't know what your point is. That's got nothing to do with anything I said.
A very broad basic idea that isn't really representative of actual performance.
It's like using 3D Mark 2011 to determine what card is fastest at games.
