Im thinking of buying a sapphire 7850 oc edition when they are back in stock, but will i regret it if nvidia release the 660ti?

the 7850 looks like an amazing card, but a lot of people seem to prefer nvidia's drivers. Are they really that much better?

Not really no, in my experience, I currently own a 580, previous cards were a 560Ti and before that 4890s incl crossfire, the only issue(s) I had were with crossfire on initial release of a game, eg for the first week, best example I can think of was fallout3, when that came out the crossfire support was non existant, I had to disbale crossfire for a week til they patched the game/released new drivers, cant remember which now, but I remember it was only a week which to me is no drama, and its only because I got the game on release day, other than that I've personally never experienced any issues

Can't say i've had any problems with my 7850.

I must say I DO prefer the look of nvidia's drivers (the control panel etc), but regards to the drivers actually working, no complaints, they are as good as each other.
