GTX 760 OR 7870 help

[sudz44]

ive been re researching GPU's and got my choices down to theses 2 cards  The 760  OR  The 7870 

i think the clear winner would be the 760 but, i would just like some other opinions

7870 for the Never Settle games!

[david cassar]

You can't even compare the hd 7870 to the gtx 760. An alternative is the hd 7950. It is slower than the gtx 760 at stock but once you overclock it will surpass it. You also get 4 free games.

760 obviously, but are they on the same price point?  :huh:

[TechFan@ic]

GTX 760 is definitely faster than the 7870 Ghz edition, I would compare the 760 to the 7870 Tahiti LE in terms of performance.
Nvidia clocked the 760 about 200mhz higher than the 7950 boost to keep up with it in terms of performance.

[mvitkun]

gtx 760 should have better performance

[ThunderShark]

760 obviously, but are they on the same price point?  :huh:

Yes, they are both at ~$250

The 760 will give you much better performance

[serjizzalot]

Yeah, This is not a good comparison. A 760 and a 7870 are not in the same tier. I currently have A 7950 and I love it but that EVGA 760 looks very appealing. Also, You get the never settle reloaded bundle with a 7950.

Go for the 760 it's significantly faster.

[WoodenMarker]

The 760 is faster but you should be going for the 7950.

That is true. but say you are already looking for games to play with your graphics card, the 7950 would be perfect. but if we are strictly looking at graphics cards, I would go with the 760 for sure. 

[sudz44]

I have the games offered, exept for one of the deal that offers crisis, but idk id rather get a better card than games, so i guess ill go for the 760, but any recommendations on brands?

Just to make it clear, the 7950 is faster than the 760 a lot faster when both are clocked similarly, but you can get higher clocks on the 7950 because the voltage is unlocked on it, so the performance advantage extends even more.

HD 7950 @ 1100mhz, GTX 760 @ 1230mhz

Recommendations on a brand? the current card i have now is ASUS, and i haven't had any troubles

Sapphire HD7870 XT w/Boost is cheaper and it perform as good as 760 once overclock.

[TechFan@ic]

Sapphire HD7870 XT w/Boost is cheaper and it perform as good as 760 once overclock.

Yeah, & it comes with crysis 3.

[ddwgg]

Yes, they are both at ~$250

 

That's actually false. The 7870 can be found around $200-$210 while the 760 isn't going to dip below $250 anytime soon. 

[sudz44]

Yeah, & it comes with crysis 3.

i have a budget of like 270$ and the 7950 card is a little to much for me to be paying for, i watched linuses video on the 670 and it seems it does preform much better than most cards in my budget

What Linus didn't show you is how beast a 7870 XT when overclocked.   :rolleyes:

[ThunderShark]

Right, the 7950 dipped to almost $250 recently. I confused the cards.

 

If you find a 7950 at a good price, it would outperform the 760

Do u have any links for the 7870 i could take a look at, i am not very familiar with AMD's cards

Most 7850 im looking are around 300-350
