Hi again, i have to choose one of this 2 gpu's:

HIS 7850:

GYGBYTE HD 7850 OC

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0387395

which is better in perfomance ( battlefield 3 )

pls help me.

They are the same GPU, Just different manufacturers and different coolers.

The double fan design will be quieter than the single center fan, and likely cooler. That gets my vote.

They're a little cheaper on newegg right now (plus you don't have to pay sales tax). Is there a reason you want to buy from microcenter?

Thank you for your answer and the newegg's recommendation.

Sure, newegg is the best place to get parts

i'd go with the gigabyte same performance but better cooling.

microcenter has a no questions asked return policy. it's extra nice if you live near one, plus you don't have to wait for mailing things back and forth if you run into issues. aside from that, I like the gigabyte design as well

This is true. I just don't like paying the sales tax.

Adds ~$20 to a purchase like this (depending on where you live)

Both of those cards are in the neighbour hood 270 +. With just a little bit more you can get 7870 from new egg, since its on sale + it comes with two games.

XFX Double D FX-787A-CDFC Radeon HD 7870

another question pls i can overclock the HIS 7850 to 1000mhz?

 

[devils_advocate]

Yup, you can O.C it to much higher levels. Some people had alot of luck using TriXX vs afterburner afaik.
