I am almost certain on getting a GTX 660 Ti.

Does anyone have any opinions on this and any similar priced GPUs that would provide better performance?

Thanks!
 
It really depends on what resolution you play at.
The hd7950 is priced almost the same and should perform equal to 1080p, above, the hd7950 is the clear winner. (In 1080p, the hd7950 and the gtx variants in winning)
I would get the hd7950 personally though...

But the 660Ti has PhysX ;)

If he has an ok cpu the physX will help almost nothing...
And I'm speaking of the total performance, so physX included.
There are only some games where you can see the difference with physX and even difficult to find then. It looks as nice with no physX, just my opinion. :D

Thats not completely true, a physx enabled game will perform massively better with a CUDA GPU, but very few games are in existence so im not sure its a selling factor.

BUT, the driver support on nvidia is superior by far.

From what I've heard, the drivers from the new hd7000 are doing pretty good.
And really nvidia has great drivers, but radeon is getting better in it.
I don't think that's a point either...
 
nvidia are a massive corporation, ati/amd are losing money hand-over-fist.

nvidia drivers have been significantly better for a long time, and will be for the forseeable future. totally a point, because in 12 months from now you'll get a 20% benefit over the amd/ati driver with the latest game, proven time and time again...

+1 thats one reason why HD 8000 series are releasing Q2 2013.
 
Sure that sounds fine..

What motherboard,
What HDD (ssd?)
what resolution you plan on playing games?
what else do you do with the computer (e.g. video or sound editing).

my point was, like perkomate's system, a 2500K (overclocked or otherwise) is a complete waste of time with a 5770 (for example). An i3 would have done just as well as nothing would be feeding it fast enough.

Computers are systems....

You cannot answer that question without understanding the system champ.

Its not a good chip with 1GB of ram and a base model gpu.

all he said was "would you classify it as a good CPU".

Not "how do you think this would go in my system", or similar.

You don't get it do you. The same CPU in my system is a good cpu, yet the same CPU in your system is a waste of time....

To the OP, please post full system specs that your gpu and cpu will be in.
 
This is by far not a certain list yet, I'm still in the planning stages (hence why i am asking these questions..):
Motherboard -MSI Z77A-G41 Intel Z77
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1.0 TB Hard Drive ST31000528AS
RAM - 8GB DDR3 (2x4GB)
PSU - 550W Corsair VX
Optical drive - Samsung SH-222BB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer
OS: Most probably Win. 7

I will draw up a finalised list this weekend with a friend that knows a lot more than i do...
