Any recommendations on which 7870?

Sorry, I got out of the pc part loop. I got into android real bad, but im back to pc gaming. I miss it<3

I would get this sapphire one before it is out of stock

It should offer good overclock potential and is a very good brand.
Should easily be able to get up to 1150 if you want to overclock and to 1300 if you know how to do it.

P.S.- some people are selling the free game if they don't want it for $30 no ebay so that the total price is a bit cheaper.

for the nice cooling solution go with a :

you could also go with the cheaper you will find:

they are basically the same just cooling solution and clocks can change.

but i would strongly recommend the MSI.

Hows the 6780x2 perform?

He mentioned $350 as the max so I didn't want to go above that but if you do have the extra $10-20 these ones are also very nice.

By no means am I saying that the $350 sapphire is bad but these ones should just be slightly better. For example if you don't plan on overclocking (voids warranty) the Gigabyte card is overclocked to 1100mhz vs the 1000 stock rate. This can easily be achieved on the others but doing so will void the warranty.

It should perform a bit better than the 7870 (580) but if it were my money I wouldn't. You can run into so many problems with CF (how the computer reads the card) micro stutter and other things. Also the card has lots of bad reviews.

YES CF is different performance, if the cash is so close like that, go with the single card solution, there will be a lot of problem you will run into if you are using crossfired cards, some games will not get so much performance, other games will only work with 1 card properly, etc, single card solution is always the way to go, unless you can go with a much lower price, or if you've had a single card and wan't only to increase its performance instead of buying another gpu.

 

[devanwarner]

Only a bit better? Hmm ***.

 

[Derbixrace]

get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102983

 

[JackNaylorPE]

Yeah it is better than the 560 ti 448. The 570 is it's older brother.

The 560-448 is a "broken" 570. Take a 570 that failed testing with a bum SM or disable 1 SM on a 570 and what ya buying is a 560-448.

 

[andrewcarr]

get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102983

ff: READ the thread

 

[Derbixrace]

ff: READ the thread

i did read, cant i recommend the same card as you?

 

[andrewcarr]

You just offered no details into why. Just posted what was already there.

 

[devanwarner]

So if I got 360 get the 7870
And if I only have 170....?

LOL you good man, increasing budget slowly and then go back to the beginning budget.

I would recommend:

or if you like nvidia

[devanwarner]

Well I mean, I'd rather spend less cause then I could get it a week earlier.

But I honestly might go in between and get the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814162089&Tpk=battlefield%203%20edition

It saves me from buying battlefield 3 and its a decent card. I'd be getting it really for 200.

Nice combo...I'd check to make sure that the memory kit is supported by my motherboard. If not, I don't think the egg would allow returning just the memory kit.

Also, note that the card is NOT a 560Ti or a 560Ti 448. It is a plane 560.

Plain*

and yes it does. I saw that its a plain one. nbd though, i don't mind. thats a great deal.

I have the best idea instead of getting more memory that you don't need, as long as you currently have at least 4GB, (that comes with an overpriced card, card $150 with $45 of memory) then get the 6850 for $250.
