Looking to upgrade

[Nemesis379]

Ive been wondering for a while now to upgrade my graphics card its a 3870, which i will be selling to my dad for his PC for £50, because the graphics card doesnt work and i was considering upgrading to a 5850, ive seen that the GTX460 will be useless so no point waiting around for that nonsense any suggestions anyone?

Easy, buy a 5850

 

[Nemesis379]

Will their be a much greater performance from 3870 to 5850?

You will not be disappointed. Roughly speaking, I’d say it’s about x3.5 – 4 more powerful

It will blow it away, 2.5 times faster this place says : http://emsai.net/reviews/gpu/

And £50 for a 3870 is daylight robery by the way, it's worth around £25 I reckon

My dad doesnt know that

Your poor dad.

As others say.If the 5850 just about fits inside your budget than it's a no brainer.

He's your Dad.Give him a better price on the 3870
