Keep getting mixed responses - $300 7950 or $400 GTX 670 for gaming at 2560 X 1440.
 

Keep getting mixed messages. So I came to the least biased place I know.

Which card should I pick up to game at 1440p? The MSI Twin Froz 7950 3GB or EVGA GTX 670 FTW 2GB.

670 its noticeably faster than the 7950 bar none

The stock 670 outperforms the stock 7950 by about 14%. I'd think you'd see a similar difference between the OC'd cards mentioned. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-11.html

I'd go with the 670, even at that resolution the extra video memory isn't going to make a large enough impact to offset the superior power the 670 has over the 7950

If u can handle the added cost I would go for the 670. If money is tight the the 7950 is a good alternative (at least until the 660 comes out).

Nvidia drivers>AMD

Actually, for $100 more, I wouldn't get that GTX 670. Either get a stock GTX 670 or wait until the "new" HD 7950 is available which should net ~10% more performance for (supposedly) the same price. If that HD 7950 sticks to the current $309 price, it will be a killer deal.

Is there any point in posting after SKY? Well I will anyway...

I run 2560X1440 with a single Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce and I gotta say I am still in need for a little more processing power. As far as the frame buffer the highest I have seen it used was ~1.6GB. My only advice to the OP would be to buy the most powerful card you can.

What? You're NOT biased towards Nvidia? WTH? After reading the comments section of the AMD Flash Article, I was fully expecting you to foist your Nvidia-bribed-views upon us [/sarcasm]

Back to the question at hand, we're talking about 25% price difference from the 7950 to the 670. I mean it's $100 for somewhat similar performance. You could get a very nice SSD for that price!

In fact, do that. If you don't already have one. Pick up a 128GB SSD for the difference and perk up your system a whole bunch.

Go amd and mine bitcoins to offset cost!! :D
