560ti vs ati 7850

[beastwolf]

hiiii

which card is best among them........

 

[dalmvern]

Hands down 7850.

 

[beastwolf]

i heard a lot that 7850 have drivers issues.........like.....most of driver updates are to increase performance in nvidia cards and in amd its for only bug fixing

If you want nvidia wait untill 660 series comes out later this year, only like 2 months or so.

tomshardware review wasnt good for 7850..."users should buy this at their own risk of overclocking"......so.....

 

[bigcyco1]

wait for 660 neither of those cards are worth buying IMO

 

[verbalizer]

depending on price range, I could see myself with a -448 model..

Well if i was to pick between these two cards i would 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 are straight little beasts!
Some to consider ...




MSI Hawk (950Mhz - 9 phase VRM)

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 but R7850 cost about $10 to $20 more usually
