Can you qualify that argument NJM1112? You may have sensible reasons for the suggestion, I would just like to know what they are - as would many readers. I think it is important to explain why we make the recommendations we do (based on objective evidence), as I'm pretty sure that is in the spirit of the whole Tek Syndicate/Razethew0rld experience.
Anyhow, generally I would agree with NJM1112 that the AMD cards are better this time around - when you look at the benchmarks the performance at any given price point is consistently better.
If you need CUDA for one reason or another then go for at least the GTX660Ti, which is a very nice card (though as I have mentioned expensive for what it is when compared side by side with the AMDs).
