So i research(a lot) on gpu that i plan to buy. And suddenly i found this very low priced 7850 for 80$ new with 1 year warranty. But the problem is i also found a used reference his 7950 for 120$ which is pretty good for my need. I will be recording and gaming AAA games. So which should i choose?
Here is the 7850 link

I done some research about that card and it overclocked quite terribly but it's enough for my 720p gaming.

For 720 P the 7850 is good enough, the used 7950 isnt really a great deal either, but I guess that depends on where you live. Personally Id get the stronger card, yes it is worth 40 dollars more , but again if budgeting is an issue the 7850 does extremely well with 720P

Well the HD 7950 is a better card for sure, the fact that it's used might be problematic because you can't usually know if it was ever OC and a bad OC can harm the GPU.. if you can trust the guy that sells it then you chaould defenetly go for the 7950.. i had it before my GTX780ti and it's now in use by my brother, it OC like a beast and it handles most new titles on almost max.

your choice
