Hello everyone,

I thinking of buying a new VGA, today I have a hd 6670 DDR3, and I was thinking will the improvements of GCN 1.1 (R7 260x), worth the performance gap over hd 7850?
I have preference for AMD cards, and here in my country NVIDIA cards are more expensive.

I'm between these 2 cards:

For: R$606

http://products.xfxforce.com/en-us/Graphics_Cards/AMD_Radeon%E2%84%A2_R7_260X/R7-260X-CNF4
For: R$512

And as bonus this one:

http://products.xfxforce.com/en-us/Graphics_Cards/AMD_Radeon%E2%84%A2_HD_7870/FX-787A-CDJ4

For R$703, but i don't know if i want to spend that amount of money.

Just for comparision 1 US$ = 2,36 R$

my specs:
full HD 24" monitor;
i5 2310 @3.6GHz;
16GB DDR3 @1400MHz;
HD 6670 DDR3 OCed;
PSU corsair 950tx.
