The MSI 7870 Black Knight is £180 and is an excellent card.

is the msi 7870 much better than that gigabyte 7850?

 

[humbug]

is the msi 7870 much better than that gigabyte 7850?

Clock for clock its + ~10%, they also have stronger PCB's and two 6 pin power lines instead on just one on the 7850's, giving it higher overclocking potential.

Its a higher range GPU, for an extra Tenner, i think its worth it.

lol, he came in looking for a £175 GPU....

But, +1. the 7870 XT is even faster than the standard 7870, it has more Stream Processors and faster vRam, its almost a 7950.

A GPU as fast as that is a steal @ £200

They are a Budget brand, thats not to say they are no good, i have never had one.

Personally i prefer to pay that bit more for a premium brand, yet that may well be a false economy.

Hopefully someone who has a Club 3D GPU can chime in.
