Worth getting a 660 over a 7870

[camohanna]

Been considering getting this 660 http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=17697 over this 7870 http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?partid=16518 because it has a higher clock speed (boosted) and of course, it supports PhysX. It is also cheaper. Should i get this 660 over the 7870?

Clock speeds mean nothing over companies and architectures.

And it depends if you play games with PhysX.
I would go 7870 but that is just my personal preference.

660 has similar performance than the 7870, plus it has PhysX and all the Nvidia exclusive things. So I would recommend getting the 660.
