I recently got cyberpowerpc system, the build your own from newegg/Walmart sells. Come to find from the Tom's Hardware helpful members loaded with oem parts. It came with MSI R7 200 is what gpu-z shows. I get very poor scores running benchmarks.

Here lies my question and help needed. My old system had Gigabyte HD 6850 gpu, but only 1gb. But is GDDR5 and 256 bit interface. I don't understand what numbers mean and which are most important for performance. Try to post both below.

Solution
Give it a try, don't know what R7 2x0 card you have, the 6850 is better than the lower end, thing when you get to the 250 they become about a toss
