I want to play games at 720p/1080p at high/max settings and dont know if i should get a radeon 7770 or a radeon 7850 1 gb or a 7850 2gb which is better performance wise?
link which ever has the best performance
One more thing asus gigabyte or msi?? which is better
 
If you're on a budget, get the Sapphire HD 7850 1GB for £134.99.

If not then something like the Gigabyte Windfore 2X 7850 2GB for £162.

Personally, I would opt for the second one as having 1GB of memory can be very limiting, even at 1080p. With my 7850, I game at 1920x1200 and I often see the memory usage go around 1.5-1.9 gigabytes so it would seem to be worth the extra money.
 
Dunno if you really are planning on doing any 720p gaming, but if you are im just gonna let you know you wont need much power at all!

As its a link to a gpu test and one of the cards is listed in the test I'm not sure there was much to say ...

Toms HW has been around for a very long time and is a well trusted site ...
 
gtx 660 or 7850 2gb are probably the minimum if you plan on running close to max settings 1080p.

Both can be had for around £140 and come with free games that can be sold on.

I prefer nvidia so would go for the 660.

msi/asus/gigabyte are all great
gigabyte and msi have the better returns policy but I think asus have the better coolers.

Basically you get a 90 day warranty & accessories could be missing. Which is why it's reduced in price.

And out of the 3 cards you listed in your original post the 7850 is the quickest.

There is faster cards obviously, but it all depends on how much you want to spend.

PCI-E 2.1 is still totally fine.

What are the specs of your pc?
