replace 4 year old 5850 with AXR7 250x

[gerry410]

Hi all, I have a 4 year old Radeon 5850 PCS and am thinking of replacing it with a newer PowerColor AXR7 250x.
I noticed my old card is mem 256 bit but the new one is 128 both 1GB GDDR5.

The newer 250x is a faster core clk. 1000 and mem is 1125 my older card is 760/1050.
Is it worth the upgrade?
Also, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 my old card is PCIE 2.1.
2 questions is it worth the money and will the interface be a problem.

as always thanks guys.

The 5850 is roughly equivalent to a R7 260x. The R7 250x is slower.

id suggest getting a r9 270 the 250x is a much weaker card and you would be wasting your hard earned $$$
