Hey everyone,
Basically, I'm upgrading my PC soon and I'll be replacing my GPU as part of the upgrade.
Currently, I have an XFX HD 7750 Core Edition card, which I'm quite pleased with - it was reasonably cheap, and I've overclocked it by 20%, which I'm happy with.
As a replacement, I'm either going to buy a HD 7850 (probably XFX 2gb version) or a GTX 650 ti BOOST (probably EVGA 2gb Superclocked version).
I've had a look around the internet, and used a couple of different sites to determine which one of these would be better for me, and as of yet, I can't decide. They're almost exactly the same price here in the UK, with the GTX being maybe a few £ more.
Can anyone suggest which one would be better for me? Thanks in advance :)
I'll be playing games such as Far Cry 3, Metro Last Light, Battlefield 3 and Bioshock Infinite at full 1080p resolution, if that's any help :)

Personally i would get a 650ti boost 2gb. I just got one for myself 2 days ago on newegg and im building my new rig soon with that card. I got it for 170 and trust me if you have a budget like me its the card to get. The HD 7850 will do the job too but in my opinion the 650ti boost is the way to go.The gtx can kick ass playing anything you put in front of it and can stand uo to a gtx 660 and even a 660ti at certain times. If you have any more question about specific tasks etc. dont be afraid to ask!

I am planning to overclock it, as I do so with every GPU that I purchase. I have heard that the 7850 is great for overclocking - is the GTX as good for overclocking? I presumed not, as, to my knowledge, it is already overclocked, hence the "BOOST" suffix.

if you are overclocking get the 7850 by all means the 650ti is using nvidia kepler technology which is voltage capped so its not good for overclocking
