New graphics card to go w/ AMD Phenom II 965
So my Radeon 5850 died and I am looking for a new card. I would like one that performs the same as or better than the 5850, without the phenom ii 695 bottle necking the card. I dont want to break the bank ($200 or less). Do you guys have any ideas?

I found a Radeon 7850 2G for $100

Here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Would this be a good choice?


I have an HD 7850 2GB (OC'd to 1050 Mhz) paired with an X4 955 BE @ 3.6 Ghz. They do quite well together in gaming on a 1680x1050 monitor.

7850 is a decent card, however I wouldnt recommend the brand nor the open box.

If you OC your processor it will support up to a 760 without a bottleneck, so within your budget look at the R9-270x.
