I'd agree, or possibly a gtx 660 on sale.

And a 7850 is a lot better. And a 7870 is better. And a 7950 is better. And a 7970 is better. and a 280X is better. And a 290 is better. and a 290X is better. So, let's get a 290X

 

Don't mean to sound like a dick, but that's what is seems like your logic is.

You do sound like a dick. If it costs just barely over his cap but performs dramatically better than something that costs $100 exactly, it's probably worth it.

You're and your are not the same. Neither are their, there, and they're. Defiantly and Definitely are definitely not the same. Definately and Rediculous are not words, and you should feel bad for misspelling them. If English is your first language, you don't have a learning disorder, and you get any of these wrong, you are making the entire forum slightly dumber by doing so. Please take the extra three seconds to type properly, and have a nice day.

Ok, well, it wasn't my intention. But, again, my post is relevant here. The HD 7850 is faster than an HD 7790,  for not that much more.

They aren't much more and you are a dick, $20 more and you get a fair amount more performance?

Yes but that further over his $100 cap, $20-$30 is fine but that $70=$90 more

Guys chill out, neither of you are dicks, both made observations that were possibly mistakes possibly not. All suggested are good cards, $70 over budget is a lot but maybe there was a reason for the suggestion, e.g. a e-retailer has the card on sale. This argument isn't helping anyone...

Dude i was just suggesting a higher card for around $20-$30 more which is reachable instead of $70 more, he just blew it up into something it wasn't

Bro i can see both sides, the card you suggested can go for more than 20-30 dollars more, i.e. $70, but it can go for virtually the same

how much is a R7 260x (with TrueAudio) ?

CPU = A10 6800K (@4.3Ghz) / GPU = HD 8670D (@844mhz/ram@1866mhz) - 2016 ≠ Dual Cores - why learn Linux ? - OLD intel x4 cpu (Q6600) + amd HD 7950 - this is what i think on watts x dollar cost - CPU "bottlenecks" only start to show "at the super high end cards" (like the 390) if you have a 4 cores CPU
