Hello everyone, I just purchased a 7870 for my build. But now looking back at things I could have spent an extra $50 and got a 7950. SO what I need to know is if it is worth reselling my 7870 for around the price I paid for it and purchasing the AMD Radeon HD 7950 (WILL I SEE A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE) Please let me know in the comments below!
AMD Radeon 7870: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2318245
Vs.
AMD Radeon HD 7950: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1917611&Sku=P450-7955
7870/7950 FPS Comparison: www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU12/372
My Current Build:
OS: Windows 7 x64
Monitor: ASUS VH236H
Case: Rosewill Challenger
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78-LMT-S2P
Processor: AMD FX-8350 4.0Gghz 8 cores
GPU: Radeon 7870 2GB DDR5
RAM: Vengeance 2x (4GB) 8GB DDR3 1600mhz
PSU: Corsair TX 650 V2
SSD: Crucial M4 256GB (All games are located on here)
HD: Barracuda 1TB 7000RPM
So to sum up my question, will I see a noticeable difference between the two cards when running higher end games on Ultra settings? If so is it worth the extra money to buy the 7950 and replace my current 7870?
