Which card do you prefer and why? My vote goes for the 760.

PC Specs:  2x GTX 550 ti in SLI - Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4Ghz - Thermaltake Overseer Case - 8 GB Corsair Vengeance Ram - 1TB Harddrive - 500 Watt PSU that came with my old prebuilt pc lawl -  ASUS P8P67 EVO

Peripherals:  Razer Deathadder Black Edition - Razer Arctosa Keyboard - Logitech G53 Headset

Cool song of the day: Chief Keef - Round da Rosey    Changed my profile pic again...                                        Mountain Dew is good. So are video games and music. Oh and unicorns.

7950 >_> new Nvidia drivers have issues again.

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

I would go for the 7950 if your overclocking since the 7950 has huge overhead and you can get a good cooler from sapphire. If your not overclocking then the 760 is good and comes close to the performance of a gtx 670.

7950. Cards like the MSI Twin Frozr 3, HIS IceQ X2, and the Sapphire Dual-X coolers run very quiet and can be overclocked to beat a reference 7970.
