560 ti 448 or Radeon HD 7850?

[bigant262]

I'm looking to get a new graphics card, and was wondering out of those 2, which is the better one to get? I currently have a GTX 460, but I don't want to SLI. I'm leaning more towards the 7850, but want other peoples opinions on it.

Here are my specs

i5 2500k
8GB ram
1920x1080 res monitor

yes the 7850 is a better choice.

here is a relative performance graphic you can check that the 7850 is not so close with the 570.

on another graphic with the 560 ti 448:

Here you see that it is closer to the 570 a little better...

so basically the 560 ti should be better than the 7850, but it still a nice option if you are into multimonitor with a single card, a best option would be a 7870 but between 560ti and 7850 i would go with 560 ti 448...

but the 7850 is $30-40 cheaper and can OC better. It also has more vram. 2GB can be made of use in certain games at 1080p. BF3 uses up to 1.6GB online.

i agree that a 7870 would be even better though.

Thanks everyone. I wound up getting the 7850. But for some reason, the colors seemed "washed out" like when I'm watching a video, it looks saturated I want to say. Its hard to explain, but it doesn't look like it used to. Would I have to just mess with the settings or something?

isn't that a monitor problem? did you change monitor? check if your gpu isn'f forcing its screen settings over your monitor settings and remove that. or adjust the colors.
