I'd recommend too going with hd 6850.

550w psu of which brand????

 

[sunnk]

your cpu and psu can handle the hd 7850 it doesnt require that much power from psu.

just make sure that you have 1x6pin pcie connector.

Is your TV full HD or just HD ready?

 

[UAhmed]

at 1920p hd 6850 is a very good choice. It has higher pixel rate which will support at higher resolutions

here are the benchmarks between hd 6850 and 6870. If u'll play bf3 , crysis 2 etc i'd recommend a hd 6870 it can run most games easily but a hd 6850 isn't so bad either. you'll get enough frame rates to play smoothly. In crysis warhead only, hd 6850 gives a 25 fps, in others it is much better.

here read this its about gtx 550 ti or hd 6870 even the OC version can't beat a hd 6870

 

[sunnk]

wtf the gtx 550ti oc is better then hd 6850 dont tell him wrong things the gtx 550ti stock one is just a bit better then hd 6770 which is way less in performance then hd 6850 and an factory oced gtx 550ti is about the hd 6790 in performance which is also less in performance then hd 6850 first think what you are saying and then tell.

Save some money and go with HD6850 if you play on 1080p..

Simply put, don't hamstring yourself for future gaming, spend an extra 20 bucks, stop with the takeaway latte's for a week or three and enjoy your rig for years, rather than months.

It's compatable with your 550W PSU no matter the brand as the new technology makes it rather efficient.

It will game up to HD, but it's sure as hell not going to be bottlenecked by your Q6600!

So TLR don't be a stinge, spend a wee bit extra, and in that price bracket the performance (read: gaming life) by far beats the price difference!

it clearly says gtx 550 ti is less in performance than hd 6870

 

[sunnk]

even it is less in performance then hd 6850 the gtx 550ti oc cant compete with hd 6850 if u overclock it to higher level then yes it can reach hd 6850 level but if u overclock hd 6850 then it will do better then hd 6870.
