Hi everyone :s13: I m deciding which is more worth and better in terms of hoot. Powercolour hd7950 pcs+ 3gb or the Palit Gtx760 2gb Jetstream. Am preparing for the upcoming bf4 and wonder which would give me better fps.

PS: I heard tradepac being able to bargain prices. The palit gtx760 is retailing $369 at their shop, possible to bargain till $345 anot? :s11::s11:

Thanks a lot and have a great day :)

Wow dint thot can lower till this price! Haha Den whats ur choice among hd7950 vs gtx760? Is really hard to make a choice lei.

Between this 2 cards, gtx760 is slightly faster than 7950.

But however the 7950 comes with at least 3gb vram.

But for me i will go for gtx760.

And to save cost, Palit just offers 2 years warranty if you don't mind. If you want 3 years you can stick with MSI gtx760 twin frozr or Gigabyte gtx760. Both at $400. Probably can bargain till $380-$390 range.

i second that... and my palit GPU fan is unbearably noisy when it's running at 60%+. they are cheaper but it's not worth it. i would think gigabyte is slightly better than MSI but both are good choices.

Depends lah. Are you using the Jetstream?

Jetstream at 60% is still quiet, Till i push to 75%.

I'm using GTX 560SE. it was about 25% cheaper than other brands at that time when i bought it. now i would avoid palit like a plague. no joke, man... at 60%, it'll be screaming. i would say it's about the noise level of a stand fan but at a annoyingly high pitch.

Ah thats different bro. Yes i agree Palit older range has no good cooler fan. Noisy.

But when you try jetstream its 2 different story.

2nd this, only more than 60% then u can hear noise... The reason it is slightly cheaper is because of 2 year warranty one instead of 3... Performance wise is same as the other brands... But if you are like me who will probably change cards within 2 years, then Palit is good for me...

SLI 2 of them and still no noise until more than 60%

Not noisy lah. -.-

Been using it all this while. Barely can hexa it even till 65%. 7% then can start to hear a bit. Of cause at 100% most gfx card should be able to hear it.

Yeap here you go.

Me to. Keep changing cards. Save us a lot of money on the long run also. Yet get the same performance.
