Upgrade from 560 Ti?

[Relentless81]

My Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti 1GB OC has been great at 1680x1050 but I've just bought a 1920x1080 120HZ monitor and I want to run that resolution with as much eye candy and FPS as possible, I dont think the 560 will be up to it, I think I'm going to sell it whilst its still worth something and buy a newer model card

I've never had an AMD card but I'd consider it this time round as I'm not interested in 3D however I am concerned about driver issues as I've no issues what so ever with nvidia cards

Is a 7850 going to be enough? I'm not particularly interested in overclocking, I prefer to buy factory overclocked cards, spending around £250 would be nice

Thanks

7850 isn't a big enough jump unless you OC it. If you do OC it it's about 50% faster (assuming you can get to 1150 ish on the core).

If you want a stock card that's a good improvement over the 560Ti you are going to be looking at a 7870 or a 7950.

Thanks, I've not seen much mentioned about those two on here, everyone seems to rave about the 7850, must be because of the bang for buck

7850 is superb value for money, because it overclocks like a mad thing. If you aren't going to overclock though it's no good for you as at stock it's only very slightly faster than a 560Ti.

Thanks, I'm willing to spend a bit more than the 7850 I'll read into the 7870 and 7950 options

In all honesty I wish I got a 570 last time round so I dont want to make that mistake again
