In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 Golden Sample Edition are massively better than the AMD Radeon HD 7660D.
The Radeon HD 7660D was released over a year more recently than the GTX 470, and so the Radeon HD 7660D is likely to have better driver support, meaning it will be more optimized for running the latest games when compared to the GTX 470.
The GTX 470 has 1280 MB video memory, but the Radeon HD 7660D does not have an entry, so the two GPUs cannot be reliably compared in this area.
The GeForce GTX 470 Golden Sample Edition has 448 Shader Processing Units and the Radeon HD 7660D has 380. However, the actual shader performance of the GTX 470 is 582 and the actual shader performance of the Radeon HD 7660D is 198. The GTX 470 having 384 better shader performance and an altogether better performance when taking into account other relevant data means that the GTX 470 delivers a massively smoother and more efficient experience when processing graphical data than the Radeon HD 7660D.
The GeForce GTX 470 Golden Sample Edition requires 215 Watts to run but there is no entry for the Radeon HD 7660D. We would recommend a PSU with at least 550 Watts for the GTX 470.

| Mini Review | GeForce GTX 470 Golden Sample Edition is a special edition of the high-end GeForce GTX 470. This edition comes with a dual-fan custom solution and overclocked out of the box in the central unit which was increased from 607MHz to 650MHz, while the operating memory clock is now of 850MHz, instead of 837MHz. Benchmarks indicate a 7% performance boost when compared to the reference card. | Radeon HD 7660D is an embedded GPU on the high-end Trinity CPUs A10-5700 and A10-5800K. Since the GPU doesn't have dedicated memory, the bandwidth will depend on the system ram speed which can be up to 1866MHz (the max speed supported by the CPU). Therefore, the max memory speed is 933MHz. Its core-clock is clocked at 760MHz, if embedded on A10-5700 and 800MHz, if embedded on A10-5800K, and comes with 384 Shader Processing Units. Radeon 7660D's performance depends a lot on driver support and embedded CPU and varies from game to game in a way games in the same category (demanding, very demanding, etc) can be unplayable at the lowest settings or might run at medium/high settings. Please note this GPU's rank is a weighted average between the two available versions. | |||
