7850 to 660Ti - Weird situation

I was being sarcastic about my max fps being better since you were slating skodamart about his minimums.

Cool about the sarcastic, I didn't interpret it that way though. :)

Btw, a 7950 with ghz bios isn't true stock vs stock. Can we get a real 7950 stock result ? :)

It was true spixelspixel@stock vs tommybhoys HIS IceQ@stock, that's the way it came out the box, it comes with the GHz bios, I didn't touch it, OcUK description is: Core: 800MHz, but mine was a GHz version and out of the ones I've seen on here they all have the GHz bios.

:eek:We have just went full circle on the 'out the box' scenario,lol (I'm being nice by the way, not getting at you) :)


I don't really care about comparisons between the 7950 + 660ti though tbh, just didn't like your reply to skodamart.

I don't normally care in the slightest either, but when someone comes on the forum, informs me that I'm an osterich:

If you ATi bunch are happy to live with your head in the sand then good luck to you.

In laymans terms telling me 'I'm a thick ****', then there comes a time I will bite back, I apologised in advance and explained the reasons of the tone of my post.

People always defend whatever card they currently own, nothing new. Both cards are in the same ballpark, that's what matters.

I'm all for defending your purchase choice, I/others explained in numerous occasion that it was a gubbed gpu and told him to enjoy his new toy, all inocent happy stuff.

However I'm 100% against a fellow forum member who goes to the lengths he did despite knowing it was down to a fault, not a working card-giving out wrong information and hell bent on his extraordinary lengths to attempt the usual bash of AMD down the driver route.

If it stops just one person purchasing a 660ti over a 7950 because he takes in that sort of nonsense, then I'm justified and job done.
 
Honestly, unless you are gaming at 2560x1600 or greater, midrange and high performance video cards are so close to eachother these days you will be happy with whatever you get provided it's at 1080p and you OC the nuts off it.

Game graphics really have not improved in the last 6-8 years except for maybe 2 or 3 games, so if you buy a 7970 or 680 or even 7950/670 for 1080p you are paying more for nearly the same performance as something cheaper.

+1,

unless you use 3D/Eyefinity/Surround, you do need the power@1080p though. :)

Oooh big hard man - what a muppet.
HD 7950 works great in some games terrible in others - WORLD OF TANKS!
Which is the game I happen to play the most.

If it doesn't work as it should = NO GOOD TO ME

If your happy with it great, I wasn't

My card was BORKED was it?

World of Tanks run on 1 thread (uses pretty much only one CPU core) so it is extremely CPU dependent. Doesn't matter if you got mid-range or high-end card, it's gonna get bottlenecked all the same since the the most determining factor for frame rate/performance for that game is CPU grunt...

i've got a SandyBridge i3 2120 with 8 GB of RAM.

Runs like a dream with my GTX 660 Ti

But thanks for the input.
 
Everything is great now thanks.
My games are running great with my new GTX 660 Ti.

I have also just been refunded £24 because the GTX 660 Ti was on a weekend deal!

Thank you very much OCUK! I won't go anywhere else for PC hardware. :D
