i have a powercolor turbo duo 7790 that is 3 months old, is it worth it to swap to gtx 570 SC? i have doubts 'cause i think the cards too old, or am i wrong? thank you so much!
 
Solution
yes the 570 is much faster, roughly 30% faster. but your talking about a used card with miles on it. not sure how far hes tried to overclock it or run it at dangerously high overclocks. the 570 came with 1.25gb or 2.5gb of vram while your 7790 comes in 1gb or 2gb. also the 570 consumes much more power and without knowing what your system specs are, more precisely what model power supply, its hard to tell.

is it faster substantially?

the deal is i will swap my vga plus about 45 dollars (cause i live in the Philippines) to his 570. He said he is willing to sell the 570 since he desperately needed cash for his tuition as he spent it. hehe.

do you think it's a good deal?
