7850 worth it?

[tomparker95]

Is there anything better than a Radeon HD7850 within the budget of £150? I can't go over at all,MUST be that or under......


Cheers for the help!

PS. Got a Intel i3 3220

I have a 7850 and I am very happy with it. I also have a gtx 670 in a different rig so I can tell you that the 7850 is a very capable card and worth the price.

Just makes sure to get the 2gb version.

For its price it's a very good card, very capable in all games @1080p. There really aren't that many you have to turn things down on.

Anything higher and you'd be bottlenecked by that CPU anyway.

I'm happy with my 7850. I bought it when it was £200 and I thought it was great value then!

I can play most games at almost max settings, with a few exceptions of course. I'd recommend this card to anyone. Although, I would advise getting a 2GB version rather than a 1GB.

 

[tomparker95]

Yeah defo will be getting the 2GB. Hardly much price difference either. Thanks for the advice, just wanted to make sure there wasn't any better alternatives

That looks like you had a bad card varkanoid, it happens.

That looks like you had a bad card varkanoid, it happens.

I seem to have had 2 on the bounce now though, and quite a few people seem to have this problem...i take this card out and put a different one in and all is well...when it is working it is a brilliant card, im now trying to RMA my replacement card to purchase a different one

For under 150 this is one of the best choices really. Look for a 2GB one and if you can wait for a offer/sale even better.

I've had no problems on my HIS 7850, tbh i'm really happy with it for the money.
Runs cool, clocks to 1050 on stock volts and it's coped with everything i've thrown at it.
It's my first AMD card in a very long time and i only bought the 7850 to see if they lived up to the hype and for me personaly they certainly do.

 

[tomparker95]

Gonna go for that then! Cheers for the feedback guys, hopefully do an offer on nearer the time when I come to buy it
