Best HD 7870?

SamGriffiths · Mar 31, 2013

So I'm looking at 7870s and these are the 4 in my price range. I'm using a 1600x900 monitor, I will be playing Minecraft, ARMA II/III/DayZ, GTA 5, Battlefield 3/4. Which is the best?

The asus has the best cooler out of the ones you mentioned (My friend had a problem with the gigabyte windforce cooler so I'm biased. I still love gigabyte, just not the cooler.), but the msi has the highest clock speed, so if you don't plan on overclocking you might want that instead.

Why is Sapphire absent? They usually have the best prices, and they build theirs with overclocking in mind. They are built like tanks...

The Sapphire is £210/220 so I may as well get a 7950 for that price.

Well then just get the cheapest one with good reviews. Also I believe (At least in the US), that the 7950 is better price performance right now. Now I understand you are only using 900p, but if that is the case why not get a 660 or 7850?

TPU says the cooler on the asus is actually quite loud?

I was just going off of temps not noise level. That is important though.

The Sapphire version of the 7870 has the most problems out of all the 7870s
