7950 crossfire or 660 Ti SLI?

post #1 of 38
Thread Starter 
This:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161407


Or this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127696


And why? Order one tomorrow. And a second one of either in a few weeks.


Multiple monitors might be in the future for me. Haven't decided.

Rest of specs in sig.

7950 xfire is much better for perfomance, but it will be more costly as well. What res are you running this on? you should be fine with a single card if you are only @ 1080p

I would say go for the 7950's because they are a more powerful card. BUT, if you want better driver support and more friendly sli then get the 660ti biggrin.gifbiggrin.gifbiggrin.gif

Currently 1080P, But considering 3x1080p surround/eyefinity in a months time.


Price difference is $10 each right now. Not a big deal too me.

dont believe this "nvidia drivers are better" bs. both equally suck imo. I've owned both nvidia and amd multi-gpu setups and both drivers are decent but nowhere near perfect. I even had more problems with nvidia drivers

AMD cards are normally better for higher resolutions, so I would go with the 7950s, you could probably even start out with only one for now and buy a second one later tongue.gif

If going for a 3x1080p eyefinity/surround, definitely go for the 7950's, AMD cards seem to work better at higher resolutions.
