Amd or Nvidia, Which one should I buy!

[Torsion kett]

Hey Guys! I need your help on buying graphic card "Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7770 OC Edition 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card" or "Gainward NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card"...
I need graphics card which can run latest titles on high resolution.
Please do tell if there are any alternatives.

It's been discussed before. The 7770 in actual terms seems to perform better especially if it's overclocked.

But as you can see in the charts, both cards struggle even on slightly old titles.

650ti-boost > 7770 Ghz > 650ti > 7770 > 650

Usually get the one that will do the job you need at the lowest price, that's the way to go.

IMO the best price performance for gaming right now is this card. It can play any game out there (some titles at reduced settings) but it can be OC'd and is the best price performance.

$110 after rebate. Just awesome. MSI R7850-2GD5/OC

Can I fit any of these in Micro-Atx motherboard?

Yes, micro atx refers to the size and number of pci slots. The GPU only takes 1 slot, and any motherboard will have at least 1 slot (even mini itx).

The recommended 7850 is 8inches long so make sure your PC case can hold that (8 is generally short considering some GPU can be 12)
