Hello this is my first post here on forum..
I am an owner of an AMD A10 5800k.. I run it with 2133MHz ram and an asus HD6670 gpu in crossfire... (+corsair H70 hydrocooling )
My system is fine up until now, but im thinking to stop the crossfire and buy a better gpu to bust my gaming a bit.. yes i know that i could buy an i3 if i had to upgrade to to better gpu but at that preriod of time the amd a10 was the best solution , and still is but let me ask this..
I m between amd HD7850 and HD7870.. i read that it will botleneck the 7870 but what about 7850?
also a choise is the new HD 7790 but i dont know if it will put some plus over my current situation...
i mean HD7660 + HD6670 gives me almost the same as HD770 in fps..
so will the 7790 will increase my gameplay experience or should i buy 7850/70
this is a very confusing thing to me...
if you want to assist me pls to buy the best gpu for my condition..

ps. i read that unofficially the amd a10 crossfire with 7750.. is that true?

HD8750 and HD8770 doesn't exist, maybe you meant HD7750 and HD7770, but no it won't be bottlenecked. HD 7790 is good, but amd released R7 260X which is basically the same + true audio technology, and this solution is good if you don't have enough "juice" in the psu. and the 7850 and 7870 would really make a difference compared to your current configuration. depends on your budget, I'd incline for 7790 and up...

and this article shows you that dual graphic configuration is not so good for gaming: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dual-graphics-crossfire-benchmark,3583.html

I think your cpu will have bottleneck with high end gpus. here's a video with a cpu similary yours but stripped of igpu, and is tested to see how much bottleneck it will have with different gpu segment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIT9uLDjZcg

go as far as your budget stretches. I don't recommend 7790 against 7870, as I said, only if the budget is low. your dual graphics configuration it's equivalent to a single 7750, but a 7750 runs smoother alone.
here are september recommandations from T'sH http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.html
or wait for the october to see if somethings changing with the "new" amd cards.

You should find the best deal for HD 7870 and not worry too much about bottlenecking. In practical use, with that CPU, you'll hardly notice it, since both are quite capable. Don't raise the bar too high, you, me, and anyone else will always be disappointed.

Or R7 260X/R9 270X (if willing to go higher) if you fancy the newer cards. And only the 290X has the TrueAudio feature if I'm not mistaken.
