what about the hd 6870

 

[skitz9417]

for the hd 7770 will i get frame rates in games

 

[Uther39]

the 7770 is slightly better than the older 6870.

 

[skitz9417]

is there a benchmark the hd 7770

 

[skitz9417]

hey is this a good psu Silverstone SST-ST1000-P Strider Plus Modular 80+ 1000W

 

[skitz9417]

hi if i oc my cpu is 3.2 but if i oc it to 3.7 could a hd 7770 will it

or hd 7850

You don't need to overclock your cpu for those cards. It won't bottleneck the card at that speed, but a cpu intensive game may be held back by the cpu at 3.2ghz. Depends on the game and resolution.

i want to play gta 4 and bf3 at 1680 by 900

 

[Deleted member 217926]

Then the question is what CPU?

 

[skitz9417]

Its a quadcore am3 cpu

 

[Deleted member 217926]

You are fine with an HD 7770 or 7850. If you want to max BF3 and GTA4 I would overclock the CPU as much as you can. You should be able to hit ~4Ghz with any Phenom II and good cooling.

 

[skitz9417]

Yea limted to oc my cpu because of my mobo wattage is only 95 w so could only get up 3.7ghz

 

[skitz9417]

i just want to run gta 4 and bf3 on high or med

 

[skitz9417]

and would i need a 550w psu

 

[geekapproved]

500w or better, a good quality psu with at least a basic 80+ certification.

 

[skitz9417]

hey whats better for my system a hd 7770 or a gtx 570 i want to know because i might be able to get a gtx 570 for $150

 

[skitz9417]

ad now i have been told i need to get a gtx 550ti

No it's not. Maybe with overclocking factored in.

The GTX 570 is hands down the most powerful card you have listed.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/536?vs=518

Any of the listed cards including the GTX 570 will be fine with a 500w power supply. You can even run 2 x GTX 570s with your Corsair 750TX ( I think you are saying you have one ) although that's cutting it close.
