Hi, looking to upgrade my 6670, which is inadequate even for even older games.
I know there are similar threads, but this is more specific I think.
Right now i'm mostly playing MMO's, but will get back into FPS's with the new BioShock game and want most of the eye candy. I keep screen resolution at 1920x1080 for everyhing.
As I said, the 6670 is pretty useless, and have bean leaning towards a 7850 (2 GB), but for the games I'm going to play (medium-high gpu demand I'm guessing) nothing like Crysis 3 or Skyrim, would a 7870 be worht the extra money? Or would it not be noticeable since I only play on one monitor at 1080p, and not the super-most demanding games at that.
Thanks, looking for opinions if I "need" a 7870 for best graphics for what I do, or if a 7850 will be pretty much the same.
Also, plese tell me either upgrade will be night and day from a 6670!!! I badly need an upgrade and am too impatient for the 8000 series.
System: i5-2310 2.9 GHz, 6 GB 1333 MHz, 650w psu
