Worth Upgrading?

Upgrading from a HD 5770 to a 650 is not worth it. You are spending $170 for a little performance improvement. Alternatively, You can get a HD 7870 GHz Edition for $200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... which is much faster than the 650 TI.

You should get hd 7850 for performance.

Yea, that seems to be way better then the GTX 650 TI, I'll leave the thread open to anymore suggestions.

EDIT : Can you guys maybe find that card on Newegg.ca or http://ncix.ca/ and around the $200 point?

Is this card fine? : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

Also, will I have enough watts for it? I have 460w in total. Also, im looking for a fairly cheap card around the $140 - 180 mark. Also I was wondering if I should get 1gb or 2gb graphics memory.

Man what's the problem with the card I suggested? Sapphire is much better than powercolor also the sapphire card is a GHz Edition card which is faster than the normal HD 7870. The sapphire card has 2GB of video memory, core clock of 1000 mhzof power color against 1050MHZ of sapphire. Here's the link again

Another thing that I totally didnot notice is the Sapphire is a HD 7870 and the powercolor is a HD 7850

Issue is the price, I am going to be buying this card next year and $240 is a bit steep for me.

When are you going to buy the card? If you are buying it after February I'll tell you to wait until march because in march AMD will unveil their HD 8000 series high end cards then the price will even gO lower.

yea I'm going to be getting it around that period of time, maybe you could link me a 7850 and a 7870 on the website ncix.ca (I live in canada) and also I have one near me.

oh and, it says that I need 500w to run the 5870 and 7850... and I don't really wanna have to upgrade power supplies.

You can make the card work using your power supply. Wait for the msi card to become less than $200.
Also have you considered getting a used hd 7950 or 7970, when the hd 8000 series will be released many hardcore gamers will sell their 7000 series cards and get 8000 series. So when the stocks are high the price will automatically be less.

I don`t feel conformable having that low of a power supply and not even meeting the minimum requirements. Alot of people in other forums are telling me I should upgrade even though I do meet the minimum. So yea, I think i`ll be looking for a different card, unless you can maybe show me someone uses a card that they don`t have enough watts and they use if for more then 1 year.

maybe like an older card or somthing?

I was thinking maybe HD 7750? cause I have enough watts for that.
