Need help with MSI HD 7950 VS Gigabyte GTX 670 (Open Box)

Excellent post 3DVagabond!

You're showing me 2 games. Who plays alien vs predator? Also that is just one benchmark. Please show me benchmarks for every game for OC'd 670 vs 7950.

:sneaky: Crysis 2 (NV favoured) and AvP (AMD favoured). That's about as fair as it gets. You want to see every game in the world? Are you serious? Send me a 670 then and pay me $5,000 to benchmark for 2 months.

Or you can Google reviews which used overclocked 7950 and read the forums and you'll see that a 1.15-1.6ghz HD7950 ~ 1.25-1.3ghz 670 with 1.2ghz HD7950 > GTX680 / HD7970 GE.

Or you can use Mathematics. 860mhz HD7950 is 10% slower than a 980mhz + GPU Boost 670 or 20% slower than a 1006/1058mhz 680. Both the 670/680 boost beyond 1058mhz at stock:

HD7950 @ 1100-1200 mhz is 28-40% overclock over an 860mhz 7950. Neither the 670 nor the 680 can overclock past 1300mhz consistently without a volt-mod. HD7950/7970 series is faster per clock which means 7900 series needs less GPU speed to match a faster 670/680 card. Also, you conveniently ignore that after-market 7950s cost way less than 670s.
