Hello everyone!
I recently bought a Sapphire HD 6850 not overclocked and it seems that it isnt enough for the games I play. Someone suggested me that I should buy another one or buy another HD 6870, but someone else told me to leave my HD 6850 and take a new graphic card from the 7XXX series of AMD Radeon graphic cards, but it seems to cost A LOT to buy a new one from the 7XXX series of radeon. What do you suggest I should do?
Many thanks, Ziv Hadad!

Your current card appears to be selling for $120-$130 on amazon, used. This is both good and bad. It means you can sell your card and get some money that makes buying a newer card much more wallet friendly. However, it also means your current card is seen as a reasonable gaming GPU, and it get a big improvement over it means spending a premium. Still, a 7850 or a 7870 would be big leap forward, and is probably a better use of your money than attempting to Crossfire the cards, which brings its own set of problems. Even if the cards could be used together.

The GTX 670 is probably the better card, but a 7870 is a much better price/performance card. The 7950 is on par with the GTX 670 and is about $80 cheaper, give or take. At least in America. If you are in a different country, you are going to have to your own price shopping. Use this chart as a handy tool: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car... .

i saw in some videos that the gtx 660 ti is better than the hd 7950 and is 400 NIS cheper(100$) and the gtx 670 is the same price as the 7950 and i saw some videos that shows a singleplayer mission in BF3 which shows the gtx 670 is always above 60 fps and the 7950 is 46 fps and above... which should i buy (the gtx 660 ti costs me about 420$ which are 1600 NIS)
