Graphic Cards 660 or 7870: Please reply fast EDIT: Bought Asus GTX660 DCU II

[bilbobaggins]

So there is an ongoing deal at Flipkart according to which there is 5% discount on GPU's

Budget is up to 17000

Asus GTX 660 DC2- 16000 (my preference)
Asus 7850 - 14900 (256 bit memory bus width)
XFX 7870 - 15800 (No service center in my city)
MSI 7870 - 16800 (But MSI warranty problem!!)
Sapphire 7870 - I can get this one at 17500 locally (Sapphire warranty confusion. On their official site 2 years but retailers mention it as 3 years.)

Asus 7870 - 19200 (local retailer)

So which one to choose. I am particularly avoiding xfx and msi due to warranty issues.

Gigabyte 7850 2gb OC?

15.3k -5% ard 14.5k It has awesome windforce cooler....its an overclocking beast. ...

Or go for 660 -16k
Else u can also go for newer gtx 760 for 19k available locally everywhere

760 is presently not available in Chandigarh.

yea Giagbyte was on my mind but there is lot of confusion who handles their warranty. Local retailers here confirmed that no one will handle RMA for gigabyte gpu in Chandigarh.

What are your thoughts on MSI and XFX versions.
Should i choose them?

 

[nishthecooldude]

Then go for asus 660

Best card for you will be gtx 760.its available for 18-19k and beats 7870 by a good margin.In some cases its even better than 7950 which costs 24k.You can get the zotac gtx 760 online.

7870 beats 660 especially overclocked. GTX760 is better than both - but if you cant up your budget - go for 7870.

Yea 7870 is good but the brand option that is xfx and msi are some what doubtful

msi is opting out of India like Motorola. So dont buy msi products.

@Op - either get Sapphire HD7870XT @ ~18k or Opt for Zotac GTX 760 @20.5k

 

[Zloyd]

if you can wait and get 760 otherwise 660. 760 will have good drivers for a long time.

Decided to go with 660 DC2
and received the same in 3 days
