my new GPU

[garbeth]

hi every one,

 

I have a question to ask, basically i´m getting a new GPU and i thought on the GTX 660, this offer: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/NVIDIA+GeForce/GeForce+GTX+660/MSI+GeForce+GTX+660+Gaming+Edition+2048MB+GDDR5+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=58172.

 

My question is is that a good offer or should i get something else for that money? this is my budget £150.

 

thank you all

7950

660GTX is a last generation card if you can get a 700 series.

[Liam-McShane]

Get a 270x instead

[I'm Batman]

7950/270X

I would suggest either saving another 20 pounds and getting yourself the XFX 7950 they have advertised or grabbing a 7870 tahiti LE

why does that matter???? the 600 series can do all the shadowplay, geforce experience, g-sync. 

anyway get a 7950 it performs better than the 660. if u cant get that then the 7870 is good too

[lachyman]

660 is pretty good, AMD equivalent would be R9 270, but go for 7950 if you can.

i have seen the 7950 but they don´t have it in stock and going for it this next monday

That card cost 20% more and is 15% over budget. Doesn't really help the op. There is always something a little better for a little more money.

 

The OP might want to consider an R9 270X, like this Saphire model or this XFX 270 Boost model (although it's not in stock at the moment).

[garbeth]

yeah i think the r9 270x is better option than the 660

600 series will perform less then a equivalent 700 series and consume more power why not just get the latest.

[garbeth]

its out of my budget and i need it now coz my gpu burned out 

[needmorewood]

600 series will perform less then a equivalent 700 series and consume more power why not just get the latest.

cause last gen costs less so it CAN be a viable option. especially when looking at a low budget of 150

[needmorewood]

yeah i think the r9 270x is better option than the 660 

yea it  is. 7950>than the 270x though. maybe an upcoming sale will put the 7950 in your price range

[orangecat]

True but I would rather wait a bit and just get the latest card.

[garbeth]

I finally got my new GPU i bought the HD 7950 from XFX £163 + 3 games.

Edit: Never mind

Get this, its faster than the 270(x) and cheap as all hell. Well within your budget and as close to a HD7950 as you can get with your budget.

[FellTheSky]

get a 660 ti or a 670 if you want the nvidia features, wich they are well worth it for me, especially shadowplay.

 

If you want a little bit more performance get the 7950

[garbeth]

I just got it the 7950 bought it this morning

[SlaughterSmurf]

7950 or GTX 760 if you can't afford the 7950.
