Best gaming graphics card between the AMD Radeon 7770 and the 7850

Hd 7850 is more powerful than hd 7770.

You can look at gtx 650 ti

650 TI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $150

HD 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $174

HD 7870 GHz Edition http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... $194

If you can get that $50 go gor it. It is A GHz Edition card which is much faster than 650 TI

Why the 2gb card instead of 1gb?

Yeah even as an nvidia guy I'd say go with the 7770 ghz edition, I've heard a lot of good things about the card.

As most people are obsessed with the video ram so I suggested a 2GB card although video memory doesnot make much difference. Core clock, memory clock and bus width are the ones which make a difference.

Way to not even bother to glance at the OP.

I found a GTX 560 for $140. Is it worth the $40 more than the radeon 7770?

For $40 more you could get a HD 7850 or HD 7870 $194. And yes it is worth upgrading to HD 7850 or HD 7870.

GTX 650 Ti for $100 after rebate, $130 before rebate. Shipping's about $7 depending on where you live.

Had to use bitly to shorten it, but it points to Frys.com. Their URLs don't parse well on Toms forums.

I can't afford a 7850 right now. What about upgrading from the gtx 650 ti to a gtx 560? Is there enough of a difference to be worth it? (I found a gtx 560 for $10 more than the 650 ti I want.)

GTX 650 Ti and 560 performs at the same tier. There's minimal difference between the two except the 560 uses a lot more power. If you find both at the same price, you'd want to get the 650 Ti. Newer cards of the same performance level also have better resell value in case you upgrade later.

This. If you HAVE to buy the part now and can't save a few more bucks for a 7850, the GTX 650 Ti will probably be your best bet. I would recommend saving up for at least the AMD 7850 though. It's a good boost in performance.
