Both of these cards are massively on sale. Does the extra $80 justify the R9 280?

I think the two cards are pretty comparable, and the 280 is not worth the extra $80.

GeForce GTX 660 Ti
4,689

Radeon HD 7950 / R9 280
4,677

those are their scores, so they are basically the same damn card.

Go with Nvidia. They are better cards and you get more features with them. Some games actually run smoother on Nvidia then they do AMD. (Arma III is one and I know from experience)

The 660 for $109 is a steal if the MIR goes through.
