Even the memory speed is useless because whats counting is the bandwith, anyway even the bandwith is managed differently between 2 cards (the maxwell bandwith is smaller, but its more effective).
Whats counting really is ingame benchs, latencies, etc etc.

Yeah, I know it's just frequency. You're not arguing with anyone. I'm just saying it should represent them as equally as possible.
Well, I have to say, the 750Ti is a good looking card for my setup, but I can't help but wonder, does the AMD/ATI side of things measure up? ( I lost an auction to get a 750Ti at a great price, so I'm broadening my options)
I'm basing this question alone on the Videobenchmark site (
http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html). I don't have a preference to which brand, so please, no arguments. The basics are this:
The card needs to be under 100$, ( I'll postulate 115$ USD MAX, shipping included), PCI express, very quiet, not need a PS upgrade from my current 450 thermaltake, must have standard HDMI (like that won't happen :/) and best bang for my buck. I do not plan on upgrading this computer any more after this, I'm an old-timer so current games need not apply, ( I like SSX, Kingdom Hearts, GTA San andreas, and a few of the Final Fantasy games, 7, 8 and 9 specifically).
The AMD Radeon 6970 looks decent enough, thoughts?

I think the 6970 needs an 8 pin and a 6 pin. I don't think most 450w have both.

It fares worse than the GTX-560 Ti. if you're going for the AMD side, try to atleast get a Radeon HD 7850.
The 6970 eats power for a snack. You'd need a better PSU for that.
That and decent ventilation.

He did mention that he had a deal of GTX-560Ti at his given price range. which is better than both the GTX-750 and the 260X hence, that would be the best buy performance wise.
