Gtx 660 ti or 760

cptamsterdam

I am going to buy my graphics card for my build but I am not sure whether the 760 is worth the extra cost?

Could you give me some advice please.

Thanks :)

They are pretty much the same GPU but the 760 is a bit better and the 760 have more feautres like GPU boost 2.0

gtx 760.

 

it is only slightly worse than a gtx 670,and it has the 256-bit bus,unlike the 660 ti

so even as it is a little more expensive I should probably spend a little more and get the 760?

I generally would rather go for the lower end of a higher end gpu than the opposite. So let's saynid rather get a stock 760 than a factory over locked 660ti

From what I see the 760 costs less than the 660ti on average, since it performs better and is a generation ahead I think it's a no brainer.

If you don't need the cuda or phys x from nvidia, get the 7950 on sale for the same price for better performance.

Otherwise, 760.

there's also shadowplay,if it ever gets released.

 

but the HD 7950 is a great deal,though prior to overclocking it isn't better,it's about on par.

and after overclocking it still doesn't have a huge lead on the gtx 760,though the 3GB of VRAM is a huge plus.

760 slightly faster, gpu boost 2.0 and the onboard h.264 encoder.

If you do not plan to get another graphics card and do SLI, go with the 7950

Go with the 760. I have a 660Ti, it works great for me, but the 192bit bus holds it back quiet a bit.

660Ti can be found with GB VRAM, not too sure if they've released a 760 with more than 2GB yet.

7950 :p they have released a 760 with 4GB of Vram but the memory bus does not allow it to take advantage of this similar to the 680/770

660Ti will support ShadowPlay too since it is Kepler based.   ;)

i thought they were only releasing shadowplay onto 700 series cards?
