AMD Processor with an ASUS GPU

[yugas42]

I'm looking at replacing my two EVGA GTX 550TI's with one 660TI, I like the ASUS 660 TI more than the EVGA, but i'm not sure how well it will behave with an AMD processor.

I have an AMD 8120-FX 8-core processor, ASUS Sabertooth 990FX Mobo, and i'm looking at an ASUS 660TI, is everything going to be compatible and work well together, or should I go with the EVGA 660 to make sure it agrees with my processor.

You won't have any issues with either GPU.

The manufacturer of the graphics card has nothing to do with the GPU chip itself.

An EVGA 660Ti is the same as an Asus 660Ti. The GPU itslef (the 660Ti) is the same in both. The only thing the different brands do is slap different stickers on the cards, possibly make their own coolers and they handle all customer services.

That being said, there's little point buying a 660Ti when a 7950 is the same price and performs a lot better:

The 7950 I'd recommend is this one:
