Matthew_pov Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Which is best price for performance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wash Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Uh... dude.You might want to do something about why your 5850 died in the first place! Unless the 5850 was actually faulty and you got a refund from the place you bought it from, you should work on sorting out the original problem. Perhaps you have an issue with your power supply or you've not done the wiring properly.If you get another card and it dies again, you're just throwing money down the drain.

tactical Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) I dunno but if i were you I think I'd chose the GTX 470 (180€) or the GTX 460 (140€) if you want a very good price for performance ratio. Here is a ranklist of the latest video cards .. http://www.pc-erfahrung.de/grafikkarte/vga-grafikrangliste.html The website is german but I think this table can be pretty useful for your decision If your not sure if your power supply is enough , this might also help : http://www.thermaltake.outervision.com/ Edited June 27, 2011 by tactical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3NOM Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Matthew i recommend 6870 or 6850 (sapphire or gigabyte) they have a very good price for performance http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1455/7/; http://www.techspot.com/review/325-amd-radeon-6870/page6.html . Warranty does not cover your 5850 problem? What power supply do you have? Edited June 27, 2011 by V3NOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6870 (sapphire) is around 200 € which is too much I think But the 6850 is ok for about 140€ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_pov Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 My power supply: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-045-OK&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat= It is working fine , running phenom x4 840. I got a refund for the faulty video card unit and I think I got my eyes set on the 6850, and I think it should do the job for battlefield 3.

Never heard of that brand but from the description it`s great It has enough power for the 6850. I also think that this VGA is good enough for BF3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew_pov Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-259-SP&tool=3 Turns out the 5850 extreme outperformed the 6850 , and its cheaper too. I think im going to give it another shot. Edited June 29, 2011 by Matthew_pov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V3NOM Posted July 1, 2011 Report Share Posted July 1, 2011 Both are good cards Matthew, the 5850 is better in dx 10 and 6850 is a bit better in dx 11 games. In my country 6850 is cheaper then 5850 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my country 6850 is cheaper then 5850 Ill finally be able to run fraps while gaming. I'm glad I purchased the 6850, I heard BF3 is going to be a heavy dx 11 game.
