GPU replacement for a Radeon HD 6850

Lazar_99 · Nov 2, 2013

I'm going to sell my Radeon HD 6850 to a friend and i need a replacement for it. I was thinking about getting an MSI GF GTX 760 OC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127745
The price is awesome in my opinion for such a card, what do you guys think?

Would you consider a 7950? otherwise the 760 is a great Nvidia card.

Mattyice47 :

Which one is better if you take into account the price/performance ratio?

Mattyice47 · Nov 2, 2013

The 7950 is faster and offers great price/performance ratio stats, the 760 on the otherhand offers PhysX and is a Price/Premium ratio.

What worries me is that with a 7950 it would get bottlenecked by the CPU in games which use nvidia physx

If you do want PhysX then go with the 760 and I do suggest upgrading your CPU because it's a bit out of date.

Actually the 760 edges out a small victory over the 7950 and is currently cheaper $240 vs $250. But these cards are really close, I would put them equal.

I'd rather go with Nvidia because of the problems i had with AMD's drivers and weird graphics i got with the 6850. I was curious when i got the 6850 and now i'm coming back to the green side

Even if the 7950 was faster i still wouldn't go for it because a few fps more doesn't cover the weird graphics AMD's cards produce and also in games that require Nvidia physx would take a heavier load on my CPU.

We'll see how it does with the new GPU. Though i don't do any CPU demanding tasks instead of gaming and if anyone would ask me for an opinion about this CPU i would only have good things to say about it. It served me well these 3 and a half years and i'll upgrade it if i see it bottlenecking the new GPU or i start doing rendering and heavy CPU intensive tasks

Though as a possible upgrade for the CPU i'd take the FX 8350
