HD 7870 vs HD 7850 vs GTX 660

Closed

Hello everyone! I want to change my graphic card, but I don't know what to choose. I searched 'graphic cards' on a IT website from my country and I liked these 3 : HD 7870, HD 7850 and GTX 660. I do not know which one is better... Also, if i buy one I will get some free games. If I buy HD 7870 I get BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Crysis 3. If I buy HD 7850 I get BioShock Infinite, Tomb Raider and Blood Dragon. And if I buy the GTX I get Metro: Last Light and Mists of Pandaria. Which one should I choose? Which is better?

+1 It's a nice card with great overclocking potential. My friend OC'ed it by 30% and can play almost any game maxed at 1080p. Great value for money. Definitely faster than 660 and if you OC it, it's as fast as 670.

http://www.techpowerup.com/reviewdb/Graphics-Cards/ATI/HD-7870/ - dont't forget there is big difference between HD7870 with Pitcairn XT and HD7870XT with Tahiti LE

HD7850 has similar performance to GTX650Ti BOOST, so you shouldn't compare it with 660.

what is your cpu? power supply wattage? monitor's resolution?

depending on your power supply a nVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 should be sufficient for gaming at 1980 x 1080 and offers the most bang for the buck

The higher the last three numbers, the better the card. So instantly HD 7870 > HD 7850. GTX 660 is on more or less the same level as an HD 7870. Here's a video comparing the performance of an HD 7870 and GTX 660. Both cards have their moments, e.g. GTX 660 is slightly faster at BF3, whereas 7870 is significantly faster at Skyrim.

Go for the Sapphire HD7870XT, it has an Tahiti chipset, runs better than the HD7870, and it isn't much more expensive than an HD7870.
