GTX 760 vs AMD

[marcokleinrossi]

Can anyone tell me (although nvidia and AMD cards have their differences) what the equivalent AMD card is to the GTX 760?

The HD 7950 according to Tom's Hardware.

between both, which would you compare for me?

build:
i5-4670k
8GB RAM Kingston HyperX @ 1600mhz
Gigabyte z87x-d3h motherboard
750W Antec HCG psu 80plus bronze
(i do plan on overclocking but i haven't bought my cpu cooler yet)

I would recommend the HD 7950 and in particular I would recommend this card-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202026

Well in that case you may actually want to go with the GTX 760 if it is cheaper. I recommended the HD 7950 because it can be found for $220 USD over here. This GTX 760 might actually be a better option-http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130933

The MSI GTX760 is an awesome card for the price at $260.

Another factor is the THREE GAMES you can choose from with AMD (find the GOLD Tier of the new Never Settle) versus the free digital coupon for Batman Arkham Origins for the 760.

The MSI N760 TF also has really, really good customer reviews. It's a good idea to compare those scores when choosing a card.

Shadowplay:
The NVidia card will soon be able to stream/copy gameplay video if that's a factor.

Summary:
- 3 older games versus 1 new one
- NVidia card has slightly more performance vs HD7950
- NVidia card costs $260 versus $200 for cheapest HD7950 (the $200 HD7950 has only an 850MHz GPU so it's not a direct comparison)
- better overall customer reviews for the MSI 760 versus any cheaper HD7950 (5/5 average 75 reviews)

You can't go wrong with a quality HD7950 but I think the MSI N760 TF is the best card at this price point.

When you say the 760 will be able to copy gameplay, dies that mean the gpu will also act as a capture card?

Yes.
Specifically, the portion of hardware called "NVENC" is a hardware video decoder (H.264) already used to speed up video converting. The same video that is sent to the screen is sampled through NVENC.

They already use NVENC for the mobile SHIELD device. The PC runs a game, streams it through NVENC and out via Wi-Fi in real time.

I don't have exact details because it hasn't been released yet but it should be only a few weeks away. What I do know so far:
1) 1080p 30FPS
2) 20 minutes rolling (if enabled it records up to 20 minutes then deletes prior to 20 minutes)
3) streaming continuous, drive copy 20 minutes as in #2 (possible good use for a RAMDRIVE)
4) #2 might increase.
5) under 5% hit on most PC's (if you're at 60FPS VSYNC chances are you won't drop below 60FPS)

Wow that sounds great. Considering that and the fact that right now the 760 cost less in canada, i think i will be choosing the 760. Thank you for the information.
