AMD currently has the design wins in the next generation consoles and their architecture is pretty great. They are about equivalent with nVidia but given the fact you have a weak PSU the better energy efficiency of AMD ought to be better because the AMD architecture hard caps the power consumption so I can be more comfortable recommending it.

Well firstly Nvidia is slightly more energy efficient right now.

And second AMD is only even because the sites are using the wrong methodology: http://techreport.com/review/23981/radeon-hd-7950-vs-geforce-gtx-660-ti-revisited/11

Personally I'd rather have visible smoothness than a higher FPS number.

adriane23, what games are you looking to play that you can't right now, and at what resolution?

I know that example. In the same game there is significant differences and other maps show the reverse. It is hardly a scientific study.
