Difference between 560 and 7950

[jakejacob0]

Been looking to upgrade my 560 non ti.

Was wondering if i can get a 7950 2nd hand for around the £250 mark this would be a noticeable upgrade?

Thanks guys

Hi there,

What are the components in the rest of your PC? Namely your CPU, RAM and PSU? Additionally what resolution do you play at?

CPU is a i7 2600k @4.5, 16GB of RAM, and a 750W Corsair PSU.

And run it all on a Samsung 1080p monitor.

A 560 is around the performance of a 470/6870, so a 7950 would be a considerable upgrade if you can get it at that price. Your system is fine.

Custom cooled Sapphire/His 7850 and clock the nuts off it!

Buy new for £200, probably get 7950 performance out of it, put the rest to a SSD if you don't have one already:
