7750 to a 7850?

[Smashing todd]

Hello, I'm thinking about getting an upgrade from my old (well fairly new) 7750 2GB to a Sapphire 7850 2GB - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-11200-14-20G-Card-HD7850-GDDR5/dp/B008HV63F0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355248612&sr=8-1 I've checked so that every thing works and is compatable. It's just for the upgrade, is it really worth it?

depends on your system specs and what resolution you play at, but yea, thats a pretty big step up in performance.

I play at 1280x1024 and my system specs are:FX-6100 6 cores 3.3 GHz, Corsair vengeance 8 GB 1600 MHz, Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P AM3+ and FSP 500Watt-60apn 80plus

well at that resolution, a 7850 should be able to max mostly any game, but i would be careful with that power supply.

But it can run the card right ? I've done alot of looking and from what I can find it will...

it should, as long as the power supply is healthy.

Yup built my computer 2.5 weeks ago but I'm not happy with the graphics card and never have been

what isnt the 7750 satisying you even at such low resolution ? just curious.
the 7850 is about twice of a 7750 in performance and power consumption

I don't know why but I don't get the FPS I should :/

 

[mohit9206]

what fps do you get and in what games ? maybe there is some other issue

In Just cause 2 when I have settings to medium / high I get 38 fps all the time and at low settings I get 60-75 and in BF3 at low I get 55-70 and minecraft max 40 - 89. I think that will give you an idea...
