Playing games on 1080p which card would be better? A regular 660ti 3gb model with reference cooler, or a 660ti FTW 2 gb series 2 model with a dual fan cooler? Specs are as follows:
660ti 3gb model with reference cooler for $319.99
core clock: 915MHz Boost clock: 980 mhz
Effective Memory Clock: 6008MHzMemory
Size 3GB Memory Interface192-bitMemory TypeGDDR5
660ti FTW 2gb series 2 with dual fan cooler for $289.99
core clock: 1046 mhz, Boost clock: 1124 mhz
Size 2 GB Memory Interface192-bitMemory TypeGDDR5
I wasn't sure if the 3 gb model would be better since the card only has a 192 bit bus. Would the bus limit the 3 gb of RAM? If so wouldn't if be better to just get the faster core clock and vRAM of the 2gb FTW model with an increase in the core clock of 131 mhz and the boost clock of 144 mhz?
I play W.o.W., Starcraft 2, Diablo 3, SWTOR and will be playing Assasins creed 3. Thanks in adance for the advice
