HD 5770 vs HD 7750

[lancelionroar]

So, I'm about to upgrade soon, and I was planning on getting the HD 5770, but just today my friend suggested a 7750 as my budget could probably handle it, so I checked it out, honestly I couldn't find much helpful results on google, except a theoretical compare between the two of them on hwcompare.com which showed that the HD 5770 is better in terms of performance, while the HD 7750 is better in terms of power consumption, and I found a thread on these forums actually, but it was a HD 6770 vs HD 7750 instead, and since HD 5770 and HD 6770 are pretty much similar, I thought that thread would help, but that thread had both people saying the HD 7750 is overall better and others saying the HD 5770 is better, so I'm kinda confused here, I get that the HD 7750 consumes less power, but is it also better at performance than the HD 5770? I also see that the HD 7750 is slightly more expensive than the HD 5770, so I'm not really sure here, but what really matters to me now is to know which of them is better at PERFORMANCE? Also is the HD 7750 worth the extra money if I'm going for gaming? (Gonna be gaming at 1440x900)

As I mentioned before

GTS 450 or 550ti or 6790 or 5770/6770 or 5830 and late add gtx 460 768 or SE or 6850 whatever is cheapest.

Here's someone with more or less your rig, pick a game and see the according FPS in FullHD!

That is quite helpful, thank you very much, I actually like the results, seems good, but I noticed something weird when I checked his Skyrim FPS.. he got 25 fps when playing on 800x600 low settings.. Then it says he got 40 fps when playing at 1900x1080 high settings.. Doesn't make sense, lol.

P.S: Would be great if you found another guy with same rig but with HD 7750 instead, wanna compare results.

It's an E5400 not E5700, oh well, close enough I guess 😛 Does anyone have an explanation about the weird Skyrim FPS?

I also just noticed that it says near his CPU: 35% OC, so would my performance differ that much without overclock?

 

[teh_gerbil]

Well, that actually will make between the 2 cards even more pronounced, that even OC'd in almost every game there's at least a massive jump in performance.

The difference in gaming with increased clock speeds with the older architecture, may be at most 5fps. (After read OC'ing e5400 reviews.)

So you're saying I would be getting kinda similar performance without OCing? That's good.. BTW did you check his Elder Scrolls V FPS? Some weird results in there.. Lol.

 

[teh_gerbil]

Odd! Yes, you will get similar results. But Oc'ing, by its very nature will increase your framerates. However, in this instance, OC'ing an elder CPU will only get you modest results.

What are you leaning towards, 6850 or 7750?

Well, after the results you've shown me, I'm leaning towards HD 6850, as it appears I'll get better results out of that.

 

[teh_gerbil]

Excellent

Any other sort of worries or niggles?

Hopefully not. 😛

Thank you all for your help, really appreciate it, I might make a thread as feedback soon after my upgrade, thanks guys, see you soon. 😀
