For the last time: 7870 or 7850

[oddlyinsane]

Man this must be the millionth question on this subject, but i'll ask anyway.

7870 or 7850?

7870= $270

7850= $240

$30 diff worth it?

Dont want to upgrade till the 9000/800 series (AMD/NV). INformation on other components is irrelevant. Will be primarily for BF3, BF4 when it comes, CS:GO....what else.....


Thanks

PS I did consider the 660, but here down under its same or more expensive than the 7870. I believe they are quite equal, esp. in BF3, with the 7870 edging it out in some games and definitely if over clocked.

Yes.

Then why are you concern yourself with the 7xxx series? But imho, I believe 7870 is worth the extra.

the 7870 is worth the extra 30$ atm, not like the previous 80$ gap it was a while back.

i assume you meant dont want to wait.
if that's true. 7870 is worth it, yes.

 

[manofchalk]

Yes.

You troll you.

HD7870, the performance boost is worth $30. Especially after you overclock.
