Graphics Card Recommendation

[Sylver]

Have you lowered the graphics level a bit? The 6770 performs better than the 6850

[Obione]

Come on, not even the 6790 pulls more than the 6850.

UY UY, refurbished no because the warranty is very thin :nono:

[Sylver]

I take back, you're right Obione

256 -bit GDDR5 in the 6850 compared to 128 -bit GDDR5 in the 6770, which offsets the higher clock frequency.

And certainly you have to move away from that refurbished 6850, they are long-term problems...

Regarding the board + micro + memories it would be a good option an ASRock P67, with an i5 2500K if you're going to overclock, and memories some G.Skill Ripjaws 2x2 Gb
You would get everything for about 290 € approximately + 36€ of the heatsink, a Scythe Ninja 3.
If you don't want such a leap in quality and need to save money at the expense of something more modest, you can put an Asus P8H61 with an i3 2100 and the same memories, you would get everything for 190€ more or less + 26€ of the heatsink, a Scythe Shuriken in this case.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take note. Any more opinions on these components? A middle ground between those two prices that Sylver proposed is fine.

If you want a computer for a while and with good performance, a 2500k with a decent p67 motherboard like that asrock or an asus p8p67 would be great. The memory is also good, both the gskill and the corsair vegeance are very good and have almost the same price if you buy it now. Now, if your PC lasts until Christmas, we should have news about AMD's new bulldozers and maybe they will be good and in that case, a possible price drop and the ability to choose between one of the 2 brands.

I say the same thing

Good point; I hope the prices drop as you predict. I've read that they are coming out this month, am I right? (8 cores, what a madness for those who are still using 2… :frio:)

[Obione]

Damn Christmas, I hope it arrives sooner and look, with a Sandy I care a lot less but the one who wants to jump from platform and hasn't gone for a Sandy is pulling his hair out with every delay of the Bulldozer : little laughs:

I would love it if AMD gave a big hit with what is a big change in architecture, we'll see how they come out but well, in your case, these new micros don't seem especially interesting to me for gaming because the design of the games appreciates real cores, neither Hyper-Threadings nor Bulldozer modules.

A mi el que mejor rendimiento de a por el voy que ando esperando a LGA2011 pero si AMD hace bien su trabajo a por el, pero las últimas "noticias" que ví hace poco daban para navidades con suerte espero equivocarme, y en esas fechas tmabien LGA2011 con el x79 a ver como va este trimestre cargadito de cosas.

Lo interesante es la bajada de precios que suponga el lanzamiento de ambas arquitecturas en los productos actuales, lo más rentable para muchos será aprovecharse de esa rebaja y cambiar de plataforma. (me incluyo :p)
No todos podemos invertir directamente en lo nuevo, el tiempo nos marcará los cambios de plataforma.
