And that's what happens when you don't brush overclocking under the carpet...
...the green bhoys have been shouting 'it's out the box that counts' since the 6 series launch, complete turnaround from the pre 6's Nvidia gpus.
Unless you want Borderlands 2 for/and PhysX, then this is a better buy:
YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS HD 7950 IceQ 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - AMD 3 for FREE Promotion (H795Q3G2M) £239.99
Total : £239.99 (includes shipping : FREE).
who has been shouting that? I get awesome sauce overclocks out of my two 670's, over 10FPS gains on minimums on several titles
also don't forget that the 7950 is on special - where as the 660ti is on launch day pricing (which yet again seems to have actually crept up as the day goes on)... a 560ti was £200 on launch day and the gigabyte OC card was £225... how long did it take for them to be down to £180 and then slide to £150?
this card will be under £200 over the next few months - particularly once the hoopla around borderlands 2 dies down and/or they stop doing that offer
would I be buying a 660ti at today's prices? no, but once it's available for less than a 7950 then it becomes a viable choice and AMD will keep dropping prices on the 7950 to keep their sales up
for those that prefer the green side of the fence, they'll happily pay a small premium for a 7950 competing card (rightly or wrongly)
