Elliot B. Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 My mate is getting a PC built and has the choice between a GTX 650 and a Radeon HD 6770 (both 1 GB models). Which do you suggest? There aren't many results on Google comparing the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alladaskill17 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Wouldn't this be a close call if you were comparing a Radeon 7700+ ? I do not know. neo1911 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eins.MY Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Radeon 7770 and 7750 beat GTX650 and priced on par or less than GTX650 price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 I know NVIDIA has nice little game exclusives such as PhysX and, for some games, tessellation (optimized for NVIDIA cards) but I've noticed unless you have a x80 model, those features just kill the framerate anyway.

Jason S. Global Moderator Posted October 4, 2012 Global Moderator Share Posted October 4, 2012 the GTX 650 isnt for gaming - at least at high res. you're going to get really terrible framerates at anything over 1280x720 if the person wants to game, they'll need at a 660 at least.

Astra.Xtreme Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I would highly recommend kicking it up to a 660 Ti. Otherwise, just go with the previous gen GTX 570 or higher. But if you're looking for something on more of a budget, then ATI usually wins in that regard.
