[spikeycraft]

Hi guys,

I am finally ordering my pc parts tomorrow, and have one final qustion, i hae the option of a MSI Power Edition hd 7850 for £167.99

or i have just seen that the MSI Power Edition hd 7870 is only £177.99

cmmon sense tells me the latter is better, but by how much? considering they are the same aftermarket cooler etc?

what sort of fps difference will there be, and what about overclocking??

cheers in advance guys!

7870 is much better than 7850 (a whole new level actually) go with 7870 ...

at the launch they are 100$ apart..
