Good deal to trade this gpu with this apu?

[axpn]

I got an offer to trade an xfx 5850 video card for my amd a10 6800k. should I do that? or is it a bad deal? Thanks

The a10 6800k performance will be nowhere near as good as the 5850. If you are just watching blu rays don't worry about it. If you're playing games you will need to keep the 5850.

The APU gets 23 fps, the 5850 gets 122 fps - same game, same resolution.

don't trade it because then you will need to buy a new processor anyways, unless you are willing to buy a processor to go with that video card. If you are, I would just save a little bit more and get a more modern video card.

EDIT: I was just assuming the video card was really old and comparing it to modern 7850's, but if those benchmarks are relevant, then it's a good deal.

Do you think it is a good deal? or am i losing money? I would pair the xfx 5850 with a fx processor from AMD soon in the future.

oh I see, I was going to buy a hd 7870 but then I got an offer.
