Best upgrade from Radeon HD 7850

[Xexoxix]

I've had this GPU for a while, and I was thinking of upgrading. Is it worth upgrading? I don't play the most GPU intensive games, but maybe less bottleneck, I don't know. if I was to upgrade, what would be the best to go with my CPU? My CPU is the AMD FX-8350. Thanks for all the input!

sorry, as juanrdp pointed out, you don't know what games I play. I mostly play CSGO, along with some other games (not too intensive). The one I play the most is probably Tribes Ascend. I play at 1440x900 resolution, most games at the highest setting.

Is it worth upgrading?

Depends, ¿have faster cards? ofc and very good ones like the Gtx 970, but just need to think if you need to expend like 300€ to have more fps in the games you play.

Without knowing the games you play, resolutions, settings, etc... is almost imposible to say if you will get a huge gain for any change.

If you are thinking to upgrade anyway, then juice that HD 7850. Mine will do over 1200/1500 with 1.225v applied in Afterburner. If your mobo had better power design then I would say to clock your CPU too, but that's not going to be safe with that 4 phase board.

If overclocking the 7850 still can't keep up, then consider a GTX 970. I'm thinking about that because I want that new Dragon Age game to run max'd out on my 1080p monitor.

I tried OC'ing one time, didn't see too big improvements w/o voltage change. However, it did blue screen CSGO so I moved it back to stock, cause I play CSGO a lot. In regards to the CPU - I'm not touching those overclocking settings with a five foot pole.

Bang for buck a 280x is a very decent upgrade over a 7850.

If your happy with current settings then I wouldn't bother personally.
