Resolution you would be playing at?
GTX 660 recommended for the price range, surpass 7870, i guess the price not much compare to 7850.
But if you playing at 1080p, then gtx 660 ti or 7950 boost would suit you, not max setting, of course.

This was just mainly a hope they could do this :)
But I have seen people record these cards playing crysis3 at 50+ frames...

The main reason for looking at these cards, is that they both come with 2 free games valued at 80+ nzd each
plus I am running a amd CPU and on-board graphics.

I am running my pc at 1440x900 res

At what resolution? 1080p + HD 7850 + high to ultra + 45+ fps = no.

Edit: at 1440x900, you will still not get 50+ fps at those settings.

That's not a good sign. So I would assume that it is not a quality PSU, in which case, you may have problems providing sufficient power to a HD 7850 on it. A quality 420W is sufficient to power a HD 7850 and run it; however, a non-quality PSU may not.

It seems they are quite evenly matched, but the radeon does pull ahead in bus width and benchmarks

you're right about it not being a quality psu, i got it for free from a mates computer. it has no stickers or branding... I am looking for a 500 watt cooler-master one though but i couldn't afford it...

thanks for all the help on this. I have decided to get the 7850 with the xfx 550watt psu, I am also looking at getting an as-rock mobo because my asus mobo only has 1 pcie 2.0 so I can't do crossfire. and am thinking of doing so in the near future
