I've got an HD 6850 right now. It's aging. I am looking at the 7870, and can get it tomorrow for around $149 - $50 gift card - $10 rebate at Tigerdirect nearby. It would drop the price to $90 and up my gaming capabilities. I picked up BF4 tonight, and am running Medium but it's getting old and the card is struggling a bit.
So here's the games I am gonna run in the near future...
BF4
Arkham Origins
Wildstar
Payday2
Titanfall
Edit; sorry need to add: Black Flag/Watchdogs/GTA5 when it comes out
Other games, which are older and really wouldn't tax a newer card.
I am currently running
i5-2500k
8GB memory
SSD and HDD mix
Windows 8.1
I'd like to spend money elsewhere when it comes to Christmas, and if I get computer money after Christmas (maybe from the wife or family) I could put that money aside for the next revision of cards maybe in the next 6 months or so. But the 7870 would be a great upgrade right now, yes...? I don't plan on upgrading my monitors soon, if that helps. Thoughts? Thanks friends.
