[IzzuddinFX]

Between this 2 beast, which should I choose to replace my 6870 FleX... I'm gonna use it to play game at 1080p resolution with max settings... My cpu is fx 8350 at stock speed with 4gb of 1333 ram.. Thanks to all reply....

7950 hands down.

Overclock both, 7950 is the clear winner but need to look at the price. In my area, 7950 is around $80 more expensive.

Grab the 7950 with that never settle bundle makes it pretty hard to turn down, also do yourself a favor and grab at least 8g of some decent ram a cpu cooler and a slight OC even if your a novice amp it up a tiny bit free performance always a good idea.

GL and happy gaming

Seems like most people here don't realize what an HD 7870 XT is, in any case , I've seen the sapphire HD 7870 XT for 245$ a couple of times on amazon, it's back to it's regular 260$ price now, but if you happen to find it for less than 250$ then it's a steal, once the price difference between the cards becomes 40$ or less, the price/performance becomes almost identical and in that case I'd usually just opt for the more powerful option which is the HD 7950.

There is no problem with the 7870 chip and yes the 7870 XT uses a different chip , Tahiti rather than Pitcarin.
