ƒ0rteOC Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'm thinking about getting a new GPU (HD 6530D isn't really cutting it), and I can't really decide what to get. I game at 1280x1024, but I might upgrade to a 1680x1050 monitor in the future. I was originally thinking of getting a Sapphire HD 7770 Vapor-X, but the GTX 650 Ti came out earlier this month and it seems pretty good for my needs. Should I get the Sapphire card or the 650 Ti (please specify a good model for overclocking) or a different card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I'd pick a 5850 or 5870 over the 7770. They use a bit more power, but perform better and will cost less (Ebay) The 650 spanks the 7770 and is probably overall in-between the 5850 and 5870, it costs *about* the same and uses less power.... GTX650 wins (I think) I hope others comment too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Yeah you can find brand new GTX 650 Ti OCed with a silent cooler for around 125 €, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which model should I buy for the highest overclocks? I'm eyeing an ASUS model with a 1033MHz core clock, but its not available in the states.

K404 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 There won't be much in it. If you're on air/water, you'll be limited by temps or the amount of voltage you're willing to pump in. I'd choose the one with the best warranty or bundle.... or the cheapest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
