Hi,

let's hope there is a user who has tested the two variants and can come 
up with some first hand experience. Else it will be difficult to get a 
reco.

As an alternative you could have a look at the many graphic card 
benchmarking data available on the net. Of course benchmarking always is 
a kind of black art. That said you should specifically look for GPGPU 
benchmarking figures rather than the classical gaming test suites.

My little bit of experience comes from the phase when I needed to decide 
between NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti versus AMD HD7950 (both come at more or less 
the same price). I checked both devices physically with darktable and 
found the NVIDIA to be a big disappointment and the HD7950 to really 
rock. This was fitting well to almost all published GPGPU benchmarks: 
the 660Ti is optimized for gaming whereas the HD7950 is a monster when 
it comes to computing.
