| 1282770 | 2012-06-20 10:22:00 | If you could get a second hand 6950, you could unlock the cores (not worth it imo) and overclock up to 6970 level, giving you effectively half of a 6990.This only seems to work on the first release of the cards and does not work for the later released ones. I've got a 6950 laying around somewhere, never liked it much, it is suppost to be better than a 560Ti but in my opinion my 550Ti was smoother the majority of the time. Now I have the 550Ti in my i7 work-hack box and have a 670 in my main box. Cant complain about the 670, its never missed a beat and software has been stable straight off. After several years with ATI I now think I'll be sticking back with Nvidia for a while. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1282771 | 2012-06-20 10:47:00 | Not to be that guy but in 3-4 years i dont recon even many of the higher end gpu's will cut it. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1282772 | 2012-06-20 12:52:00 | I am a GPU expert IMO...LOL, have been following GPU releases since my first 3D card (Voodoo 2) way back when......anyway, the way i see it, both NV and ATI\AMD make great hardware, however NV has a better software dev team by a country mile. I can agree with that. ATI = All Those Installs ;) |

| 1282773 | 2012-06-20 20:43:00 | 12-20fps is playable 0_0 Well, sort of. It's not that bad. I would prefer something in the 60-70 FPS though. |

| 1282774 | 2012-06-20 21:12:00 | On average the 7850 is 15% faster than the 560ti from memory. Neither of the brands is definitively better. 6xxx series and 5xx (nVidia) were basically identical where as in the 7xxx vs the 6xx cards nVidia has the upper hand as they released there cards later, however the 7850 is apparently a phenomenal overclocker up to 7950 territory (I a sapphire one, haven't gone passed 1050 on the core as I haven't messed with the voltages...yet). I owned a 460 GTX (inb4 Chaz asking how much I sold it for, $150) which I was quite happy with. If you could get a second hand 6950, you could unlock the cores (not worth it imo) and overclock up to 6970 level, giving you effectively half of a 6990. Personally though in the $300 to $400 price bracket the 7850 would be my choice as its newer tech (7xxx series) and outperforms the 560. Unless the 660 comes out... or if you can score a 6950 for $200ish. Unless you are a mafia 2 addict, which is one of the few games which is physx heavy, but then again one 560 gpu for physx :/ Damn, wish I knew you were selling it...I would of paid that! |

| 1282775 | 2012-06-20 21:15:00 | I am wanting a to buy such a powerful card because after I have upgraded my PC with it, I won't be upgrading it for another 3-4 years The buy the top card you can. 4 years is a hell of a time for gaming. 2 years more likely. MSFSX is very CPU hungry, really needs an i7. |

| 1282776 | 2012-06-20 21:19:00 | Here is a comparison of the 2 cards, and as stated the 7850 is marginally ahead depending on resolution and game. Going forward you may well be better off with the 7850 as it has double the memory and at your res, will probably help with future games and heavy textures. www.anandtech.com |

| 1282777 | 2012-06-21 00:21:00 | Something worth noting on the tests Sol linked is the 7850 used a lot less power on the load tests, what PSU are you using? | dugimodo (138) | ||
