Hello everyone. Let's start with some of my current build specs:

 

Intel Core i3-3220 cpu

Gigabyte Z77X-D3H motherboard

Corsair DDR3 8GB 1600 Vengeance ram

LG IPS 23" 1080p monitor

Cooler Master silent pro 600w psu

 

My current gpu is an HD 5770 and my upgrade budget is about 250 euros or 325 usd.

 

 

 

I'l be buying from my local shops and my candidates are:

Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB    170 euros or 220 usd

Sapphire 7850 OC DUAL-X 2GB     210 euros or 272 usd  (card includes Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite & Blood Dragon)

Sapphire 7870XT 2GB with Boost   265 euros or 343 usd  (card includes Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite, Crysis 3 & Blood Dragon)

 

I'm leaning towards the 7870 even though it's straining my budget a bit. What do you guys think? Are these good or do you have any other recomendations?

CPU: R5 3600 (OC 4.3GHz - 1.175v) Motherboard: MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC GPU: ASUS TUF RTX 3060 Ti OC 8GB

RAM: Ballistix Sport LT 16GB 3600CL15 Monitor: AOC Q27G2U VA 1440p/144Hz Boot SSD: 850 EVO 256GB PSU: CORSAIR TX550M

These cards perform just like they are priced so if you can afford then buy 7870,but that is just my opinion.

Error 709: Walrus on the road!

deh xt at the end of the 7870 makes the card worth it  but seriously the xt version can do wonders when overclocked the card is well worth its regular sale price and imo even at those prices it is worth it 

(1) high frame rate (2) ultra graphics settings (3) cheap...>> choose only two<<...

 

if it's never been done then i'm probably tryna do it. (((((((Bass so low it HERTZ)))))))
