This is what I got a month and a half ago

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127664 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127664)

I recommend it. Can play about all games on max/alright temps (39C idle).

Don't buy the 7770. Many cards at similar price points that far outperform the 7770.

Many better options out there. The 650 TI (not to be confused with the standard 650 which performs poorly compared to the 7770) or the 6870 are both good options, and perform somewhat similarly (the 650ti has a bit of an edge). If you want to go a bit cheaper the 6850 is a great option as well. All three perform much better than the 7770 and reside in a similar price range.

or

and if you want a bit cheaper:

The stock 6850 will run at ~3-4 (~36) fps faster than the 7770, and the 6870 will run at ~ 10-13 (~44) fps faster on ultra quality in 1920x1200 resolution in battlefield 3.

The 650ti will get a few fps more than the 6870 on average.

Meh, for around <$150 you can probably get a a 6850 or a 6870, they're both really nice cards, I've been using the 6850 for a good two years now and it handles anything I throw at it on max graphics, with max AA in some games.

Look into either EVGA or MSI. I'd say they're the best brands.
MSI has some excellent cooling systems with their cards while EVGA usually has "Superclocked" cards

Looks like you're going in the right direction.

Evga is a good brand, however they only sell Nvidia cards. You can't really go wrong with any of the board partners in reaility, asus, saphire, his, xfx, etc. The quality of support will vary a little bit, and the pre-overclock varies as well. But any of them sell solid cards.

I like Cu-Core Asus cards. A lot of them actually run a bit cooler then the other cards.

You could get an HD 7850 for the same price as a 6850. I heard those could max out BF3.

So which is better ? 7000 series or 6000 ?
Title: Re: Good amd graphics card ?
Post by: Cariad† on October 23, 2012, 10:37:37 PM
AMD Radeon HD 7770 is the GPU that I plan on buying. But I'm going to get a 7850 eventually. But you should try with one of the two.

A better question is how much are you willing to spend? It is much easier to choose the best card for someone depending on their budget. We could give you a million and a half different options, all of them good, just each will vary on the $$$.

If you want to upgrade, set a budget for yourself, and see what the best you can get for your budget. If you don't feel what you can afford is big enough upgrade, wait 6 months, check again, and there will be a whole new set of cards to choose from.

But to answer your question, it depends. Its kinda like asking whats better, 2012 automobiles, or 2013 automobiles. There are about 10 different cards in both the 7000 and 6000 series, all priced differently, all performing differently. The 7000 series is definitely faster when compared to the models they replaced (6770 vs 7770, 6850 vs 7850); However, it gets complicated since some of the top end 6000 series cards are cheaper and faster than the mid end 7000 series cards.

So tell us what your budget is, and we will give you some recommendations that would work for your price point.

Why would you upgrade to a 7850 from a 7770, there is not a big enough difference to warrant spending another $180 to get something on top of what you spent on the first card to get like a 10-20% increase in performance. Its generally foolish to upgrade between cards in the same generation, unless your going from the very lowest end model, to the highest. Just be patient, build up the extra $50-60 and get the one you want.

I saw many posts of 7XXX vs 6XXX, but usually the 7XXX wins. At least in the ones I looked at.

And the lower power consumption reduces your energy bill? By some I guess...

My range is anything from 150-100$

Post by: Viole on October 24, 2012, 03:41:35 PM
I think the 7770 would be good for that price list, maybe the cheapest GHZ edition if you want.

I will just get dual of these

I am going for dual graphics cards so does that mean my motherboard also has to be compatible  with it to ?

oh and here is the graphics card I am getting thanks  xrain

Actually I'd be careful about going crossfire.

First, you need to make sure you have the right, high voltage PSU
Second, you need to make sure you have enough pci-e slots, and that if you install two graphics cards, they're not going to cut off any crucial element you need to your pc
Third, I've been told that only some cards work well with others, otherwise you'd just waste an extra $200 just to get the same performance with two cards.

I heard there can be micro-stuttering if you go with dual graphics cards. I don't know what it's like since I'm poor, but just be careful. Also, they should be the same cards so ya don't waste money on something higher that what you already have because the cards bring down performance to the lower card of the two.
