It's pretty tempting to try it because I'm pretty tight for money. my old card is getting old and heating up like crazy. 

 

Wouldn't trust it... maybe try auctions? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PowerColor-PCS-HD7850-2GB-GDDR5-/252043440081?hash=item3aaef5afd1

 

Isn't this a real brand? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/USED-Palit-GF-GTX650-PCI-E-3-0-1GB-128-bit-DDR5-1058-5000MHz-1-x-DVI/111735490077?_trksid=p2045573.c100034.m2102&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140410092834%26meid%3Df891548f314344f481fd55a01f375186%26pid%3D100034%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D230861556055

I was looking at this and was wondering if this is actually legit? is it worth switching out my 1GB radeon HD 6770 for this or would I be wasting my time?

I think the Vamery brand ones are chinese knockoffs. You can get 2GB HD 7850s for pretty good prices if you watch
