How is the Sapphire HD 7850 1 GB .

[Abh19021]

I am in a big doubt , i got a pretty good deal from a friend of mine to get a Sapphire HD 7850 1 GB non OC edition . I want to know how exactly is this card if we compare it with any of the Gtx 560 ti's ? Should i get this card ?

Rest of the specs

CPU : Intel core i5 3450 ivy bridge processor.
RAM : Corsair Vengance
Mobo : Asus P8H61 M-LX


( i havent assembled these config yet but i am getting the B3 revision of the motherboard ( ASUS P8H61 M LX ) do i need to flash the bios to make it support the core i5 3450.

Thanks a lot in advance

The HD 7850 is better than the GTX 560 Ti for a number of reasons.It's newer technology.It consumes less power.Produces less heat.Performs better.Has more overclocking headroom.And the list goes on and on.
You get the idea.The HD 7850 is better than the GTX 560 Ti.

Since the HD 7850 isn't a lot faster than a HD 6950 i expect the HD 7850 1GB to be less than 5% slower than the HD 7850 2GB.Either way it's faster than a GTX 560 Ti.
