I am thinking about buying that graphics card in the near future because of what I have heard people saying about it.

Is it worth buying or can I get better for the price?

Thanks

 

[daswilhelm]

its good for its price range. if you want better, you can always spend more.

 

[McLubbin]

But is it the best for the price range? How would it do on BF3 ultra? My monitor is 1600x900...

My GTX 550ti already gets about 30FPS

+1 FYI when he says 'ps' he means PSU (power supply unit). Not sure why he doesn't say 'your' either.

Get a new PSU asap.

 

[iceclock]

means powersupply unit.

yep its on the bad list. cant even provide listed power at load.

 

[McLubbin]

I was planning on upgrading that as well. I am not asking for a rating of my build. Just if that video card is worth it.

 

[iceclock]

no im saying if u dont change that, it can blowup ur pc as that powersupply is actually on a blacklist of the worst ever powersupplies made.

I know, and I plan on it. And I dont think I put the correct power supply.. It is a Coolermaster 550w, but I think it is a different model. Still I do plan on getting a corsair powersupply.... Maybe a builder series.. 450watt? Would I need more to run this graphics card?

 

[iceclock]

anything coolermaster is bad. only the silentpro series are worth mentioning.

budget?

cheapest 2gig 7850 ur gonna find.

 

[bigshootr8]

Power supply wise I would make the jump if you purchase in the next day or so this one.
89.99 base-20 promo-20 MIR=49.99

[iceclock]

i guess but he doesnt need 650watts tho.

 

[bigshootr8]

Understandable however we were talking about quality power supply units and i would use 80+ bronze units as a start.

 

[iceclock]

hello. its a seasonic 520watt rebranded as antec. give me a break.

 

[dennis555]

Here's a cheaper 7850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004

 

[iceclock]

thats 1gigabyte. most games use more than 1gig of video-memory -_-

 

[bigshootr8]

Yea I'm in agreeance that 2 gigabytes would be preferred for most in a 1080p and 1200p environment. Also, just was trying to get a stronger quality unit power supply standard 80 plus as it may be good is still a little meh. You put all the money you do into a computer and you spend less then 5 percent on your power supply that says something.
