I'm trying to get just one of those three and I really cant decide. I mean they all seem good pricing and performance so I want to see what do you guys think?

what are gonna do, are you gonna play games or make videos or etc.
If you are gonna use it for a game then i would go for the AMD Radeon R9 290 (even though its not on the list :p)

a 7770 is roughly on par with a 6850, the 6870 has the most grunt though. i had a 6870 and traded down to a 7770 for F@H purposes, but i dont notice the diff to much when i play games on that pc. Keep in mind that a 6870 will require 2 x 6 pin connections whereas a 7770 only needs 1 x 6 pin.

Yeah I want it for gaming but I don't go hard like Bf3 and stuff but just to keep up with the new games with some high graphics. It looks like the 6870 is winning on this but I still have doubts for the 7770 haha D:.

Hmm.. maybe what I meant is yes the 6870 looks like its the best but is it a noticeable difference? Is it worth spending that little bit more cash for it compared to the 7770/6850? Thank you guys for your advice!

yes its a noticeable difference. Although if you can find a current similar performing card that has 2gb vram, that would be better, since many new games are heavy on vram.

Is the difference worth the prince difference? 2gb vram does sound nice to keep up with the new games but my price range was revolving around these 3 cards :(. What do you guys think of buying someones used graphic card (that is said to be in good condition and only swamping out for a better one) on Ebay?
