i need help choosing a good GPU. i am currently running an AMD FX8350 with gigabyte ud3 motherboard with radeon hd5500. i play games like starcraft2 hots [want to play this game w/ maxedout], mass effect3, league of legends. want to play crysis2-3 and bioshock infinite.

my card choices in my price range are radeon7850[base]-7870[base] and gtx650tiOC.

(powercolor)7850 (based model)- 175$ converted to dollar local price
(palit)GTX650ti oc- 187$
(powercolor)7870 (base model)- 212$

so which of the three in terms of performance? coz im really confused seeing alot of live test with the gtx650tioc leading the other two. but on paper the stats say the 7850 and 7870 are better.

and i really wanted to play mass effect with best possible fps at best graphic setting.

Sadly, I don't know any computer stores there. Could you provide some links? Just want to check if you could've gotten something better for the price range or if the ones you listed are the best value.

the local store is "gaisano interpace" store they have a website, just type in google! theyll send the price list to your email. the other store for the palit gtx650ti is "PC-CRIB"! check it out on facebook.

i could also forward you the "gaisano interpace" store's mail.... but yeah really need help with the choices.

if you are limited to those three choices, i would definitely go for the 7870, provided its the XT/LE version, it is on par with a GTX 660Ti which in turn is faster then the 650Ti OC

Here read this review on 650Ti Boost - it is slower than the 7870

I don't know how to use that site. It keeps wanting me to enter my email, so I'll trust the ones that you put up. I'm not a fan of PowerColor, but the HD 7870 is the best choice out of those three.

The 7850/7870 are better than 650 ti (assuming base speeds since its OC it probably faster but you could just buy a base ti and OC your self) assuming its the "non-Boost" version so it order it would be 650ti<7850</= 650 ti Boost <7870.

@Troy Benedict: do you have the direct link to that PDF? Care to share? If not, could you scroll down one page length and screenshot it?

Maybe I'm not looking at the right place. Where in the PDF is the GTX 650 Ti listed?
