pittnuma Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Hi all, I can't afford the latest top of the range card as I am looking into a Thrustmaster Warthog, however I would like to upgrade my current ATI 5700HD 1GB card, what would be recommended as a replacement? Pitt Current rig is an i5 750@2.67 (not overclocked) with 8GB Ram and ATI 5700HD Pitt Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
Mustang Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I'd personally go for a card like this, a 2gb 7850 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MSI-R7850-Twin-Frozr-OC-Edition-AMD-Radeon-Graphics-Card-2GB-GDDR5-DVI-HDMI-PCie-/221203248050?pt=UK_Computing_Computer_Components_Graphics_Video_TV_Cards_TW&hash=item3380bdb3b2 1
pittnuma Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Great thanks, that card is a good leap from a 5700? Pitt Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
Mustang Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Great thanks, that card is a good leap from a 5700? Heck yes 256bit bandwidth RAM vs the 128bit the 5700 has, then theres the 2gb which is highly useful and then the obviously more advanced features of the GPU :) (if I had the cash right now i'd buy one in a heartbeat)
pittnuma Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Thanks for the help, really appreciated, last query am I OK on an Asus P7P55lx mobo, sorry I'm not up on what will work with what at present? I have plenty of cooling so that is not an issue. 1 Pitt Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself.
