most things it would prolly be a wash, the 1366 has more absolute power. partly due to 3 channel ram. but on a clock for clock basis there are some things that it just kills on. for gaming I would say get which ever one is cheaper.

the card will be the same either way, just some things the 1366 is a better platform, and sometimes its the lesser platform. but all in all I would go for the 1366
