7850 vs. 560 Ti

[ahhyep]

I've read numerous reviews but none take into account the price.

I'm really struggling on which is the best value for the money...


VisionTek 7850 - 239.99

or


EVGA 560 Ti - 214.99

I know the 7850 is better - but is it 25.00$ better? Let me know! Thanks.

It's up to you of course, but I'd say yes.
Newer tech that runs cooler and a nice performance boost in comparison.

For the lower power consumption and slightly higher bandwidth, texel/pixel rate, I concur and say go for the 7850

$209.99 after MIR

for the same price get the HIS IceQ X 7850

From the two cards you linked the 7850 is the better option.

Awesome.
Gonna get that one, omg. Thanks!

Also, if I use a HDMI cable, will the speakers on this monitor output audio with this card?

Another thing to consider Look at the non-reference 560 Ti designs, factory OC'd to 900 Mhz. Among them you will find several models that have upgrade dPCB's and beefed up VRMs. The ones w/ 7 phases or more and the special coolers have been known to top 30% overclocks over the reference card speed.

.And make no mistake about these cards straight beast!
Some to consider ...






Asus DCII Cu TOP (900Mhz - 7 phase VRM)

Gigabyte OC (900Mhz - 7 phase VRM)

The R7850's performance is about the same as the 560 Ti 900Mhz

I havent used a video card for sound (I have a dedicated sound card), but it should. Just remember to change the primary sound device to AMD High Definition Audio in Control Panel-->Sound settings.
