Sapphire HD 7850 2gb vs EVGA GeForce GTX 660

[KieranDavidW123]

Hi

I am going to buy a new GPU to replace my Nvidia GT 640 2GB
I was looking at the EVGA GTX 660 2GB for £150 until this guy caught my eye: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-295-SP&tool=3
Is the sapphire HD 7850 better than the GTX 660? I saw the memory bit on the 7850 was 256 bit? And that apparently is good for games at 1080p right? Well I am playing at 1080p and usually like to play on med-high settings at 1080p. My original budget was meant to be £120 until I saw nothing good for the price until now. Would I see better performance from this for the money? Should I get this over the 660? I really dont want to spend £150 unless I sell my GT 640.

Thanks

The GTX660 is on level with HD7870 so the stronger card. The HD7850 is still a good buy for the price and handles 1080P fine, massive upgrade over the GT640.

I recommend you take a look at this, will give you the best card for your budget. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html as always there may be deals going on which will make one card more attractive than what is shown here but will get you in the right ball park.

660 is better. It should come with a free Batman Origins game.
