Worth upgrading from Crossfire HD 5770 to one Radeon HD7850 ?
Hi guys!
I wonder if it is worth upgrading from Crossfire HD 5770 to one Radeon HD7850 ?
Or just wait and save some more money for a couple of months ( poor student from sweden).

I would definitely say that it is not worth it, as yo would be sacrificing one gb of ram. Your current setup is fine for most games at medium settings, but if you wanted to upgrade I would save up a little more and get a r9 280x, as it has more stream processors, and 3gb of ram. Also it would last longer so an upgrade wouldn't be needed for awhile. If the 280x is out of your price range, then drop down to a 280, or just keep your current setup until it is absolutely unusable, then at that point upgrade as parts will be cheaper in the future.

Is the 280 and the 280x a hundred dollar difference? or the 7850?

It is a 100 dollar difference for me here in sweden.




No between 7850 and a r9 280 and i checked wrong it 220 dollar difference.
