How much faster is this card compared to a 6950 from over 2 years ago?

A lot faster. I can play most games on altar settings. Just try not to pushing AA or other intense settings too much

Sorry I don't know. I get a score of 7.9 on the Windows Experience index. Thats as high as you can get. I don't known how the 6950 would score.

I got this card to replace a Radeon 6850 and the difference is substantial. I can now run games like Bioshock and Tomb Raider with ultra high settings at 60fps. So far only game I can't run a max settings was Thief, which I had to dial down to just high settings to get the best fps.

It significantly outperformed my two 6870's in crossfire with a single r9 270x plus it's smaller and produces a lot less heat

I have a PCI 2.0 board and have seen zero issues. I have owned it for about 6 months, and I can play Metro: Last Light on maxed settings (PhysX off) and I get 55-60fps at full 1080p. Enjoy it, it's a great card.

I believe the 750ti is something on the order of twice as fast as the 650ti, not to mention more efficient. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7764/the-nvidia-geforce-gtx-750-ti-and-gtx-750-review-maxwell

I believe the difference are the fans. This card works well in my setup. I would recommend buying it.

well, honestly i don't know .. but its a small card and it's smaller than my old MSI 6870 Twin Frozr II

It is luck of the draw. I bought 2 cards, one had elpida and the other had samsung. The samsung one overclocked better and was a much better performer.

I believe, do a double check on 7000 series crossfire, they can be...bu know that doing so would only limit the 7970 while putting the 7770 to the extreme. Better to be of equal cards unless you happened to find a spare card as a replacement for one being worked on or ordered in.

I believe the 6870 would be your best bet, I was unable to find the 6850 (best match, according to Tom's Hardware) in a 2GB version.

It is most comparable to the GTX 760. It is much better than the GTX 750ti, and a tad worse in benchmarks than the GTX 760.

i RETUIRNED THE 4790 because it ran to Hot, I'm very satisfied with the 4770. Just install as much RAM as you can affordHave FunChuck

I truly don't know because it might be effected by the rest of your computer systems configuration (CPU, RAM, etc.) however: You can probably Google the "benchmarks" for that hand and see where similar cards fell.Good luck!

The 7990 is Freakin' awesome!!!! I am an AMD man so I am kinda one sided on this answer!! The 7990 does ALL the heavey lifting you can throw at it!! I mean every graphics setting on the max and it's a walk in the park for this card!!!!

Barely any difference. The Base Clock differences are 1046 MHz vs. 1072 MHz, and Boost Clock of 1111 vs. 1137. That's pretty much it except for the extra fan. You can still only SLI connect a total of two of these cards if that's of any interest to you. For space and cooling efficiency, I'd opt for a dual GPU board instead. It will save you a ton of room in your tower. These cards are beasts, but effective.

Personally. I would say stay with you EVGA gf GTX660 s2 than upgrading to the 760. However, Overall yes its better but the bump you get from it is like going from a 3ghz processor to a 3.5ghz processor. On paper ya its faster. Its better. But will you notice it right now in games. Probably not. I would wait for the next generation cards. IE the Geforce 860(dunno if thats gonna be the name but you follow what im saying) or even the 960. I went from the EVGA GTX 460 to this. So, dunno if this helps but thats my 2 cents worth.

The 970 actually requires less power than previous generation of cards I'm running a gigabyte gtx 560 ti 448 core and it's probably more power hungry and runs the same connectors

It seems to run around ~5-10 or so frames faster. Source: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-660-ti-benchmark-review,3279-4.html
