The difference is better performance so get the 7870 if you can

For perhaps better perspective on performance difference a 7850 is equivalent to a 560Ti a 7870 nearer a 580

The 7850 is quite a bit more powerful than the 560 Ti and is a bit faster than a 660.

Depends on the game and settings... 5 more fps at ultra is not the same thing as 5 more fps at low. 

Go look up benchmarks.

If you can jump on the deal for the XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition FX-787A-CDFC it's a great deal right now and much faster than the 7850.

Intel Core i7-8700K @ 4.8GHz | Corsair H110i GTX | EVGA RTX 2080 XC | Asus ROG Maximus XI | Intel M.2 nVME SSD 1TB | Samsung 850 EVO 2X2TB | 32GB G.SKILL Trident Z 3200MHz CL14 RAM | EVGA SuperNova GS 1050W | Kept cool & quiet in a Fractal Design Define R5 Window with all Noctua fans
