AMD still a good choice?

So I ended up buying the Gigabyte Windforce GTX 660 2GB card. Bought on amazon for 204.99 after mail in rebate.

I was really going back and forth but decided to go with the Gigabyte based on the the lower power draw and numerous reviews commenting on the low noise and thermals. Seems like a decent trade off for a couple of frames per second. Plus the 660 performed better in the games that I am currently playing.

The performance difference between the 7870 and 7850 (at stock speeds and both with 2 GB VRAM) is typically ~18-20%*. Expect the 1 GB 7850 to be even slower.

1080p resolution..... the op's display is 1080p and the difference is almost always less than 10% usually less than 5%.

their never was any loser to choose, both companies make great product that perform great.
