HD 7950 vs GTX 660 ti

I have asked, as for the 670 water block they didn't state it could fit a 660 to but when I asked them they said it could, so I'm asking them about this.
 
The thing is, I don't want to use any water block, I want to use a specific one or else I will have to go and re research what I am going to have for other water blocks. It needs to all go together, also I meant to put ti on the end of 660 but it got auto corrected to to.
 
Your gpu will only be seen from the top and you won't be able to tell what it is inside the case? So why let that force you to downgrade you gpu?
 
All up to you but i think downgrading will just be silly. Matching rads is usually more important so they all have the same finish paint as eachother.
 
Ok, but new question, for the mini display ports you can get a thingamambob that means you can have 2-3 monitors off the one mini display port, where do you get one for as a review of the 7950 said about it and called it a multi stream transporter
 
i am not sure but i think its just a display port that can daisy chain all 3 monitors together. So you use one cable and link it with others. I have no clue where how to get them.
 
i am researching now on google. Should do the same:p

edit: i could not find anything useful, should start a new thread asking for help?

i have a 7950 and its great, i have the sapphire dual x one, and i have it overclocked to 1150 mhz on the core and 1575 mhz on the memory, its a beast.
 
Just picked up a 660 Ti but was looking @ a 7950, the place where I bought it from have all the latest benchmarks for all there graphics cards and the 7950 is the faster card of the two. I personally went with the 660Ti because it seems to have less problems then the AMD based 7950 and was cheaper. I myself have always been a Nvidia fan but think both are great mid level cards.
 
7950 has quite a lead on a 660ti. Where I live the 660ti is almost the exact same price(around 10$ cheaper), spending 10$ for a big step in power is worth it. The 660ti is quite limited with a 192bit bus when running 4x AA or up. Will also have a lower minimum FPS which IMO matters more than the average.
 
Ya here the 600Ti was 50 bucks cheaper then the 79fity but the benchmarks I was shown, showed the 660Ti coming in close on most comparison benchmarks. I was also told that the SLI configuration on the Nvidia card is more stable then the AMD setup but @ this point I really don't how true that is. For me if the 660 gets slow I would like to buy another 660 card and run an SLI setup with a full custom loop. O ya whats AA my friend?

AA is anit aliasing. Usually MXAA,FXAA,MLAA,TXAA and etc..
In the most recent benchs 7950 is quite a bit ahead of 660ti and is ever so slightly ahead of 670 in most games.
 
I probably mixed them up then when he was showing me the benchmarks. I think it was the 7970 that I was going to buy instead of the 660Ti but they where all sold out and I would have to wait so 660 it was. How stable is the Nvidia SLi configuration, I've heard there can be problems with running two cards? Also with two 2GB cards is the ram doubled?
 
I have a 660ti and will be swapping it our for two 7950's or one 670 or 680 or 770 or 7970 or 780. So I put the 660ti at the bottom of the list but has played all my games at amazing quality I've had nothing wrong with the card only I haven't pushed it to do what I want from a card.

660ti's are nice single gpu cards out of box. Just plug and play in SLI they perform well but they are still "chump" cards. They are the best of the bottom.
