7770 vs 7850

[Sret43rg]

Hello i was just wondering whether i should get the 7770 1GB or the 7850 2GB, i know the 7850 is obviously better, but it is an extra 55 pounds more than the 7770 as the 7770 is 93 pounds and the 7850 is 147 pounds, i want to know whether the performance difference is worth the extra money? Thanks for reading.

If you have monitor resolution of 1080P then yes it is worth the money. If 1680 x 1050 or lower that becomes questionable because acceptable performance is in the eye of the beholder.

There is about 20% difference between the 2 cards for most the comparisons, is that alot? sorry im not very good with computers

+20% basically over 40+ is closer to 50% performance increase in reality.
