System Specifications:
I. AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
II. XFX 4770
III. 1920 x 1080
IV. Antec Truepower Quattro 850 (1 year old)
V. Antec Three Hundred Two Mid Tower Gaming Case
Purchase Details:
I. Below $250CDN and even that is stretching the budget
II. No preference although I have a grudge against Sapphire from my last card
III. Plan to crossfire or sli the card in a couple years when I need more power, mobo can do both
IV. Looking at the Powercolor Radeon HD 7850 860MHZ for $242.08
ASUS Radeon HD 7850 860MHZ ($253.34) and MSI Radeon HD 7850 OC Twin Frozr III 900MHZ ($260) also options
V. I will be playing the total war series mostly but I want the card to run pretty much anything max except Metro and other games with ridiculous requirements
VI. Will probably do a mild overclock
Additional Notes
As you can see, I am looking to replace a rubbish card which I have because my Sapphire 5850 broke, long story. Anyway, I am looking for low noise and reliability. A good rma service will also be nice in case I need to send it in. I will be hopefully keeping this card for the next 4 yrs so it would be nice to get one which will be able to keep up with the latest titles until my next big upgrade. Thanks for helping!
