Which Graphics Card should i get?

[2quik]

I have a few cards that interest me, but i can't decide which one, so anything thoughts or info would be great.

1. PowerColor AX7850 2GBD5-2DHE/OC Radeon HD 7850. This my top choice because from what i have read it's the best one out of my choices and it will end up being $119 after $30 rebate, but i am not familiar with the brand.
There is a video on youtube about the noise. http://.
so i am not sure about this card. Any thoughts, anyone have this card?

2. GIGABYTE GV-R779OC-1GD Radeon HD 7790 1GB. This is my second choice also because of price, will be $99 after $20 rebate

3. PowerColor AX7750 1GBD5-DH Radeon HD 7750 1GB. again i am not familiar with the brand.

Any other cards?

CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: I currently have an Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz

get the 7850, it will do very well in games and i have experience, if you can pay a little more get a gtx 660.

then Gigabyte or one of the cards i posted.

no wonder the PowerColor 7850 is on sale.

So a 1GB not a 2BG. What are the benchmarks for the 1G and 2GB or is there any difference?

1GB extra video memory will be an advantage only if the processor and the RAM are slow .
HD 7850 is up to 20% faster than HD 7790 . But 7790 is not bad . it is the video card of PS4 and XBox1.

hey whitecat, according to this post the 650ti is faster...?
or if anyone else has input.

Nope, 7850 is way faster than the 650ti it even competes with the GTX 660

 

[2quik]

I mean the 7790 vs the 650ti, sorry.

since the since looking more i can't tell the difference between the two cards.


I am still wondering if i should try the PowerColor 7850, but i am concerned about the noise.
I can't find much reviews on these PowerColor cards.

It's actually pretty quite, here is a noise test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNnYjhPJ940

 

[Roxas_Boy]

7790 is definitely faster than the 650ti here is proof http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUIF6tEPo-o

 

[2quik]

nice find on the screen comparison. I can't tell a difference. maybe my eye's are slow.. ha ha
also that card does sound loud to me.

The noise you are hearing will only be heard up close, think about how low the volume will be once you put it inside your case and close the side window and plus you'd be sitting atleast 1m away from it so the noise level will be barely audible unlike in the video which is very up close

GTX 650 Ti but BOOST is faster than HD 7790 .But about 5% - tests with 18 games.

 

[whitecat]

Only one note , what card do you need - low profile or a standard card ? Low profile cards has "half " height

 

[2quik]

I currently have a low profile graphics card.

This is my current case
ATX Mid-Tower. So I think i would be ok with either one ?

my power supply should be enough for either the 7850 or the 7790 correct?
XFX ProSeries P1-450S-X2B9 450W

Here is a pic of the inside of my computer.

i think ,any card should fit in Mid tower . This psu should be enough .Which is the processor ?

 

[2quik]

I have a Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz.

There is a couple good deals going around i can't decide which card to get.

ZOTAC Synergy Edition ZT-61106-10M GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB

ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD 7790 1GB

PowerColor AX7850 2GBD5-2DHE/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB

GIGABYTE GV-R779OC-1GD Radeon HD 7790 1GB

 

[whitecat]

this one or one of thoso you posted
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-hd7790dc2oc2gd5

 

[2quik]

you mentioned that i a 2 gb card wouldn't be needed with a good CPU and good ram.

What about this one?

GIGABYTE GV-R725OC-1GI Radeon R7 250 1GB Would end up being about $79 after rebate.

How does the zotac compare to the EVGA 01G-P4-2650-KR GeForce GTX 650 1GB

I think for that price range i would best off with the Asus HD 7790 instead of the ZOTAC Synergy Edition ZT-61106-10M GeForce GTX 650 Ti 1GB?
ASUS HD7790-DC2OC-1GD5 Radeon HD 7790 1GB

The Zotac consumes more power about 25 more watts.
