Stereoscopic gaming? Trying to decide between 7950 and 660ti...

I'm trying to decide which to get seeing as they are similarly priced. I really want to pull the trigger on a sapphire 7950 but I like to play my games in 3d vision (currently using a 465 gtx). Any input?

Your better off with the 7950 because of the memory bandwidth and amount of memory.04dcarraher

The 7950 is faster than a 660ti, much faster and it is clocked much lower than a 660ti as well. But if you want to get into 3d gaming then go foe a 670 gtx. I'm not sure if and does 3d or not. But if they do then pick up a 7950.

The 7950 is clocked extremely low. Its like the 460gtx used to be. The 660ti is clocked near its max from the start.

Most 7950s hit 1200 MHz overclock, the good ones going even higher. The 7950 GHz editions match a 670 gtx according to benchmarks. After that they still have 200 MHz headroom left and some even higher.

A main reason for the hate is it gets beaten by a stock 7950 at 850 MHz while the 660ti to auto OCS itself to 1ghz

[QUOTE="Elann2008"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"] lol, no its not , and no you can not compare clock rates like that, because they where clock like that from the start. Now you cant compare a 7950 and state their like a GTX 460 because of overclock room. Your making an excuse. GTX 660ti base clock is 915, and you can find 1050 mhz models, while 7950 base is 800 mhz while you can find 900mhz , however note that Gigabyte GTX 660 Ti OC can boost itself to 1228mhz . blaznwiipspman1

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] I don't get the hate for 660ti. It's a bit faster than GTX 580, and hell of a lot cheaper than when it launched as a flagship 5xx.Elann2008

That's pretty much the only reason to get a 660ti

Defiantly stick with nvidia since you game in 3D enjoy doing so and already have a 3D monitor+ 3D glasses for nvidia hardware you would need to get new 3D monitor if you wanted to game in 3D on amd hardware at 1920x1080 at 60hz like you can with nvidia. Also amd 3D is not as good support wise nor as integrated as well since it relies on 3rd party software to accomplish 3D in games.
