7850 1 gb vram

[malakhov]

Its on special right now at ncix for 139 after mail in rebate. Good choice vs a 100$ 7770 or something else?

$139? Absolutely!

That's a great price. It will easily beat the 7770. I say get it.

Here's the Tom's GPU hierarchy chart. The 7850 is far better than the 7770. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

Yes it's 159$ instead of 239$ with a 20$ mail in rebate so it comes to 139$. It's the 1gb version though as mentionned in the title, still a great deal?

Yep. If you're not at a larger resolution than 1920x1080, it shouldn't matter.

Nope, the monitor I just ordered (ASUS VS228H-P) is 1920x1080.

Originally I was supposed to get a 7870/7850 and then decided to get a new monitor and a 7770 instead since my old monitor could only display in 1368x768 so I ordered the ASUS VS228H-P yesterday and now I find this 1gb 7850 for 139$... nice coincidence hey?

 

[kajabla]

Certainly.

Out of stock, took too much time to decide... Hopefully there will be more in stock soon. Thanks for your help though!

I just sent this card back. There was a really faint high electrical noise that was coming from the card. I couldn't stand it or take a chance that something might blow. The card has only one cooler in the middle and that's it. The 65mm fan did blow out air from around the card. Here is a review of the card:
