Last night, I spent so much time comparing the 2 cards, (Mainly 7950 and GTX 670) I looked at game benchmarks and the Heaven benchmark I think it was called. After a long time reading discussions on forums, it all still didnt help at all. lol On Forums elsewhere, seemed like you just got your AMD fans, or your NVIDIA fans!
Some say an AMD OC'd 7950 is so much better with the new drivers and that people look too much at older benchmarks before the new drivers were released, saying that it can reach the performance level of a stock 7970 or a GTX 670, but at the expense of power consumption (I think), although I don't think the new AMD cards use up too much power anyway. Then the NVIDIA fans response was that they will outperform AMD when they release newer drivers too. lol. It just got ridiculous and really funny watching all these people rant and rave over GPU's.
People also said 7950s clock much easier, better and more stable than GTX 670s, and that power boost interferes with overclocking or something. I know im speaking very vaguely, bare in mind all this type of stuff is very new to me. I read LOTS of things basically but im still at a standing point. :dots:
Ive been looking at an EVGA 670 Signature II 'Black & White', (With 2 Fans) OR the XFX 7950 OC Black Edition 'Silver & Red,' (With 2 Fans)
Obviously the 7950 is around £50-£60 cheaper. But at stock the GTX 670 Signature II is better. But I think BOTH could game at the same level of performance, (When you Overclock the 7950 just a tad bit more)
Gotta make a Decision. lol Plus i want to SLI/Crossfire in future. So i want to pick the right Card.
