Nvidia equivalent to 7850 2GB + Upgrade.

[Drake5]

Currently in my i5 PC sits a 560Ti 1GB and I'm thinking of getting a card from the MM and upgrading.

What's the current Nvidia equivalent to an AMD 7850 2GB? And would there be a noticeable performance increase from the 560Ti to the 7850 2GB (or equivalent card?)

Cheers

The 660 (non-ti).

In some games, yes, but not that great a difference in others.

Rough guide, but :

Tricky decision. Seems to be about 10FPS increase generally speaking.

The 7850 generaly overclocks well and will surpass the 660 in some games but out of the box the 660 wins. Both great cards and you will be fine with either.

Has to be a 660 or ti, or nothing less than a 7870.

Thanks guys.

Now I just need to figure out if it's worth the performance increase.

Hi,

Am in same boat as OP - 560Ti and was tempted to go to the next level - a 660Ti or 670 .. Good tips here to help make the choice,, thanks.

For you, a 7950.

Would 7950 be the best route to take in relation to seeing a good performance increase?

660 is very close to 7850.
