Upgrading My GPU.

[BeadyRoller]

Hi, I built my own computer a while back and when for the 7850 which is good but I don't think it'll be powerful enough to cope with the latest games coming out soon and in 2014 such as BF4. What would you suggest I upgrade to? Don't want to spend over 250 quid really.

Cheers.

what resolution you playing at?

7850 will be fine for 1080p plus when mantle comes out it will make it better.

if you are set on an upgrade id wait til the new ones are out (might shake up the prices a bit)

maybe not for ultra but at high and 2x msaa it should be ok.

So you think it's best to just get another 7850 rather than upgrading to a whole new GPU? How much improvement will this give me?

Cheers.

I've been looking round and the 7970 seems to be the best iny price range, would that play all the new games on ultra with good frames?

For that price, it is an easy choice

7970 DirectCU II or 7970 Matrix Platinum. I've got the later of those two and it's utterly Superb

Cheers lads, seems to have great reviews! A couple of questions, what can I do with my 7850 if I buy this? I didn't buy it to long a go (Built my first PC 4 months back). Shall I sell it or what? Seems like a waste to just sit there.

Also, what Power supply would I need? I have 550w at the moment, will that do? What frames am I looking at on the latest games?

Cheers!

Sell it and the bay is prolly your best bet. The fee's annoy me but unless you know of someone who wants it, not much else you can do.

It's yours if you can get the money some how. Yeah I was thinking of just listing it on EBay, probably my best bet.

So is my power supply ok for just one 7790?

Also there are so many different versions of it I don't know what's what? Haha.
