[Pidew]

Hello guys, I have dilemma here, I dont know which GPU card to choose?
My config. is:
FX8320
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46
Kingstone hyper blue 1600 MHz, 8 GB
SSD Kingstone
Which one is the best for my config. HiS 5870 is little cheaper.
Thanx.

What is your budget?

The 7850 is obviously the faster card but depending on your budget there could be better.

This is quite a good quick and dirty guide:

I would advise an R9 270 / 270x if you can afford it. However I currently have an R7 265 in my girlfriends gaming rig and it's an absolute corker. It's a really quick card for the money.

Like the R9 270 is the same price as 7850 new and has 2GB vram and performs on the same level as the 7870 and uses less power.

Sapphire HD 7850 dual-x 1GB its 176 $ and its use.
I know that is R9 series better.

The 7850 is pretty much the same card as an r7 265
The r9 270/270x are pretty much a rebrand of the 7870.

You'll be better off saving a little more for something with 2GB vram, 1GB is pretty useless these days.
