I doesn't beat it.

Where exactly are you reading this ? Anandtech had a stock 760 beating the 7950 by an average of 13%, Techpowerup had the stock 760 beating the 7950 by 8% and tomshardware had the stock 760 trading blows with a boost edition of the 7950 (the 760 versions that are overclocked/boosted easily surpases the 7950 boost).

Well reviews are up. No reason to get this when you can get a 7950.  It's only slightly better than the 660 ti.

After looking at Anandtech, their numbers tell a much different story than Linus' numbers.  Linus overclocks all their video cards though, so is the 7950 just a monsterous overclocker or something?  It even beats the 770 in some games.

What the hell?  Why would you buy a 7950 when you can have a $250-260 card that beats it by 5-10%?  

I doesn't beat it.

 

Excuse me?

Look at the numbers, the 7950 is up there with the GTX 770 when both are overclocked

This might end up being my next card. I have been dying to upgrade and I don't think I can make it until next year for maxwell, hopefully Amazon lists the 760's soon though because they're going to be charging us (NJ) tax on the 1st of July and I would hate to have to get hit with it however measly it might be.

And the GTX 760 isn't?

That 770 isn't overclocked. :|

For value, it's similar to the 7950, the 7950 performs better (when both are overclocked, not at stock) and costs a bit more.  I feel like it will age better than the 760 though, what with the more VRAM and apparently a lot more overclocking headroom.

It might age better.  Right up to the point where AMD stops making drivers that work for it.  :P

The fact of the matter is that the 760 is clearly faster stock vs stock.

Stock vs stock for sure. But the huge overclocking headroom and 4 free games give the 7950 insane value. Seeing Linus' results is making me wonder wtf Nvidia is doing. The 7000 series is older than the 600 series, but is out-performing the midrange 700 series for very similar money. Like... what? Why is this happening?

-7950 is more expensive

-700 series is based on 600 series, which isn't exactly brand new

-GTX 760 is still faster until you get into extreme overclocking.  Even then, it still holds an advantage in some games.

I don't know about 'murica but in the UK the 760 is slightly cheaper on average than the 7950.

It's about 30 dollars cheaper than the 7950, 20 dollars less for a dual fan non-reference 760. Speaking of which, the new DirectCU II cooler is sexy as hell. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121775

It looks better, but it's louder and hotter (not by much). The DirectCU II is hard to beat.

Cool means we might see a price drop for the 600 series and AMD will probably drop their price too. Works well for me because I really need to upgrade my 460

i came from the 460 and got the 660 and the performance difference was about 3-4x more get the 760!

The MSI gaming one is quietest according to techpowerup, but it also had a much smaller overclock so it's hard to compare.

Yep, twice as fast at best, nowhere near three times as fast.

i was estimating as its performance differs in games, on some games i was playing i experienced 3x the performance, but realisticly we are looking at 2x

More like exaggerating. You said 3-4x and now you just claimed its really just 2x.

Interesting reading all this. I ended up picking up a sapphire 7950 'boost' last week and it's a damn good card. Linking the cooler and overclockability of the thing.
