Looking for help in video cards. Much appreciated!
12 years ago
Pretty self explanatory but! I am on the shop for a new video card I currently have a factory O.C. 2gb HD radeon 6850. I'm not extremely knowledgeable about the newer stuff out there and what to look for. My current budget limit is around $200-250 Just want to upgrade for alot of the upcoming games like Battlefield, Ghost, Titanfall etc.
Like how big of a performance leap, etc I can expect if possible, details are the best!
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ.....82E16814125348 <- current gpu
Not sure how much this helps but I am running a
4.0ghz quadcore
80gb SSD
2x500g HDDs
1x2TB External
750watt Seasonic Modular PSU
16gigs G.skill Ram (also want to know more about what to look for in ram if possible!))
hit me up in comment/note. or my skype/steam they are on my profile. ^^Again thanks for anyone who ques in!

You could probably upgrade to the 7870. It's around $250

How noticeable of a difference would it be? Not familiar at all with the 7000 series.

The 6000 series was a budget line. The 5870 was actually more powerful than the 6870. The 7870 will be quite a large improvement.

Here's a video comparison. Granted, the 7870 here is overclocked, but still. You'll see an improvement over the 6000 series.

what are your thoughts on http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ.....82E16814127760 was recommended that. But I like to have second opinions on all things.

From what I'm reading, it seems like their performance is pretty much identical (it uses the same chip)
