go with hd 7950 as its way way faster than hd 7870

How about a 7970 for a 30 more? http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-RADEON-7970-925M-HDMI/dp/B006VX52Q2/ref=sr_1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1366725940&sr=1-5&keywords=7970

gopher1369 :

I think we are looking at a 7950 or above, not 7870

gopher1369 · Apr 23, 2013

patrick47018 :

But the 7870XT is as powerful as the 7950.

patrick47018 · Apr 23, 2013

gopher1369 :

This is true but the 3GB or memory may be more useful

patrick47018 · Apr 23, 2013

*of memory

The 7950 that you chose does not have a dual link DVI interface. Does your monitor have DisplayPort. If not, choose another 7950 from another manufacturer. (BTW, why on earth in 2013 would any manufacturer equip such a sophisticated card with a single link DVI?)

patrick47018 · Apr 23, 2013

ZippyPeanut :

If you are talking about the sapphire card it has 1 Single Link and 1 Dual Link DVI?

patrick47018 :

Bandoon - what res are you running at please? He is right, but only if you are gaming at greater than 1080p. If you are playing at 1080p (or 1200p) then 3Gb is probably irrelevant.

You could always save up for this beast, lol: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Club-3D-Radeon-7990-Graphics/dp/B009RBP2WY/ref=sr_1_16?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1366727469&sr=1-16&keywords=Club+3D
