If you only buy new then try to stretch your budget to a 7850 or 650ti boost. They can be found sometimes for as low as $110 after rebate. They are a much better value then the sub $100 stuff like the 7770 as long as you have the psu to power it.

 

[MeldarthX]

I'd seriously look at 7850....they overclock like mad and damn good value.....specially if you can get the 2 gig version

 

[GaiaHunter]

It really makes sense to come with another $30-50 upfront because the jump from a 7770 to something like a 7850 is significant and when when you overclock it is massive.

What does the rest of your build look like and what resolution will you play?

thanks i'll consider it ....my X4 rig needs a lot of juice and my mere black silver 550 is barely enough to power it... (i have to detach 2 of my HDD, i got 4 1TB ) just so it doesn't restart/shut down while playing games...i am planning pick up a higher rated PSU..that's why my budget is extremely low

i'm a casual gamer nowadays...my days of overclocking and setting up phase cooling had long gone past

X4 965, 16GB 1600 memory, enlight black silver 550 (will be replaced along with the graphic card), 4 1TB WDC blue, 1 optics, and an AverMedia capture card

mainly use this for work, only play games as a distraction

7850 overcloking like mad edition without burning your card:

Open CCC, increase power by 20%, increase core clock to 1000+ MHz. Add a bit to the memory.

Overclok like mad done.

Of course you can do a a really mad mad overclock with increased voltage and getting to 1300 core, but no need to.

Well even a 7770 will be a huge boost over a 5570 (I first read 5770) but it is almost criminal not to go just that bit further since the difference will be so big.

But if you can't, you can't.

if you want to remain closer to USD 100 , a HD 7790 is your best option. low power and good perf on a budget. price USD 112

at USD 150 you can get a HD 7850 2GB. on par with GTX 650 Ti boost at stock. but has higher OC headroom than GTX 650 Ti boost which is clocking at 1033+ mhz even at stock and has very less OC headroom.

the msi hd 7850 twin frozr is an excellent deal at USD 150.

i ended up picking up this HIS R7 250 http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-767.shtml it's within budget...and a lot faster than my 5570...was this a good choice on my part ??

 

[Jimzz]

The R7 250 is slow. Can you return it?

7770 is faster and cheaper, 7790 is better, and 7850 would be best and close to your budget.

What made you pick that? Because all the advice so far here are excellent.

This is definitely not something I'd go with ~

The only reason to go for an R7 250 would've been DX 11.2 compatibility but otherwise it sucks as a VFM option!

What he said. It's around half the performance of a card you can get for $65.

 

[Stuka87]

Yeah, that card is going to be a slight upgrade from what you have. An R7 250 is slower than even a 7750.

BTW: Unless you have a really poorly made PSU, 550W is plenty for a hungry quad and a better GPU. I have a Phenom II 965BE @4GHz with an overclocked HD7950 and at 100% load it is right at the 80% threshold of my 520W PSU. And it never hits full load under normal usage.

7750 is $74.99 on Egg after rebates

[blastingcap]

7790 or 7850 depending on how flexible your budget is and how willing you are to wait for sales and rebates and how much you value game bundles

Not all of them. I have perhaps the worst overclocking 7850 in existence.

Considering the alternatives, not really.

 

[Slomo4shO]

The MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC is hard to beat for $110 after rebate.

(old review, with newer drivers the 7xxx series does better, compaired to the older more matured cards above)


GPU score of 3565 on the 5570.
GPU score of 13,486 on the 7770 (~3.8 times as fast)

Something like a 7770 is a good buy if your budget is in the ~80$ range.


Here:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814202011

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition ~79.9$ after Mail in rebate.


If you get get enough for a 7850 on sale, for a good price that would be a big step up though.

 

[NovoCainE]

i could return the r7.. (it belonged to a friend whom i suspect is pushing his regret buys unto me) and i haven,t paid for it
