Help me choose. 560 ti vs HD 7850

[sumonpathak]

i came across users of HD 7850 who are facing driver issues, few them them have even exchanged their cards for Nvidia coz they are not able to deal with the issue. How big is this driver issue ?

Any users here, please shed some light

no issues here.....driver is working fine here....

No driver issues whatsoever. I'm using HD 6950 here.


Your signature is disabled, I think.

I guess posting from mobile version doesn't show the siggy. Posts from pc always shows it.

No probs.

I just checked prices at TheITDepot.com HD 7850 @ 19K?

Get 7850 eyes closed as it doesn't have any competitors yet. 660 will be expensive at $299 and is a competitor of 7870. It will surely be higher priced than 7850 maybe around 20k.

At 15k, 7850 is the only choice now.

^^^ This.

OR wait for 2 months,AMD will def reduce the price for 7850/70 with the release of GTX660.

Doubt any price reductions will happen. Nothing has happened in the last and this year. Not expecting anything till HD 8000 or GTX 700 series comes out.

MSI Power Edition is @ 950 Mhz.
Sapphire is @ 860 Mhz.

You can buy the Sapphire for cheap and OC it yourself.

Both are fine btw. Good thing is that Shipping is included.

You can buy a non oc GPU and oc it and save money.

GTX 560 = HD 6870 > HD 7770.

HD 7770 = nearly HD 6850.

HD 7770 is actually overpriced at most places.

ok got it .. back to 560 vs 7850

 

[Jripper]

7850 wins against 560. no sweat

 

[topgear]

HD7850 can even beat a GTX 560 Ti.

 

[koolent]

if you are getting the power edition of 7850, what else is needed huh ? Power Cooler are made to OC types.!

Grab it up..

 

[topgear]

^^ HD7850 PE has Twin Frozr IV cooler and it's one of the best OCable HD7850 out on the market - but for this one needs to pay around 2-2.5k extra.

For those who won't OC their HD7850 ever can get a one From Gigabyte - this one is also pre Oced ( 25 Mhz more than PE ) - has dual fan - HD7850 from Sapphire is also good but both of them can't go beyond 1050 Mhz speed where PE can reach upto 1200 Mhz and performs neck to neck with HD7870.

I am using a Gigabyte 7850 @975Mhz for a month now. I bought it from smc @15.2K. As far as im concerned, there is no any driver issues or problems like people says. catalyst driver version im using is 12.7 beta. As i have got +115mhz factory oc, im currently satisfied with 975mhz. i dont think there is any need to oc it further for a 1080p resolution gaming for now. will consider in future.

And yes im having a little bit noise, not from gpu, but the psu. I think my 550w psu is working fully loaded while heavy gpu loading tasks like gaming.
