[TommyT]

hey just a small simple question

for games like ,edal of homor warfighetr and bf3 and black ops 2

on res 1920@1080

that card is better with 4x aa msaa and a bit af on.

??

Both perform virtually the same within a 1-5% of each other give or take. So whatever you find the best deal on I suggest going for.

i already have a 660 ti

i just wonder if its a good deal to give it back and get the 7950 for the same price + the bundle of far cry 3 , hitman , sleeping dogs

No point. You will see no performance upgrade at all. If you really want to upgrade something maybe buy a better CPU.

yea about the cpu i done know if the mobo can work with a 3570 not k version...

so for now i dont know.

 

[1nf3rn0x]

Nope your board supports mostly everything!

The 3570 should work fine

didnt think that the h61 chipset support the ivy bridge cpus

very nice

so i think i get a better cpu and change the card to 7950 oc edition

its already for the same price and get me the 3 games 4 free and savw some money for black ops 2 and more other stuff like ssd ...

I would stay with the 660Ti and then use the money that you were going to use to buy the 7950 on as you say an SSD and the games you want.

my new card that work for 3 weeks for a new radeon 7950

he question is if the psyx and the cuda cores metter to me od not in the games?

Make sure you update the BIOS before swapping out the CPU.

the benchmark of the 2 cards are similar. as I know, NV can have better performance in BF3.
I would pick gigabyte gtx 660 ti oc one..
