ASUS Radeon HD 7850 1GB GDDR5 Video Card (HD7850-DC-1GD5) + Free Bioshock Infinite & Crysis 3 Game Codes $130 after $20 rebate + Free Shipping

Only 12 left, hurry up! It's like getting the card for $40 after unloading the games!

Quote from FFKnuckles : 2gb's are worth it on displays of 30"+ when running 1080p. Usually not necessary for the average user. Here's a brief link to crysis benhcmarks: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pa...ew,19.html

This person has no idea what they're talking about... 1080p on a 22" screen will be the same fps as 1080p on a 60" screen.

When the resolution changes... such as running 1440p like I personally run.. That's when you'll drop in frame rates. It has nothing to do with screen size and everything to do with resolution.

Well this was short-lived

Here is the graphic card hierarchy chart - you can see this one is on par with gtx 660:

You'll be lucky to net $45 for both of these games right now

How much of this is an upgrade in terms of coming from a 1GB 6850???

How about this with a low end zambezi or vishera? Is this too much gfx for an AMD CPU? I have an AMD3+ motherboard that is looking for a job...

Not true. 660 beats it by a little (I have an asus 7850 2gb and a 660 gtx EVGA).

It'll max everything out in 1080p as of right now (maybe not everything for crysis 3).. If you're not wanting to spend ~200 or more, it's a great card.

If you are willing to shell out ~200. The 7870 powercolor card that overclocks to a 7950 was a great deal the other day for $208. It still should be up on newegg, but it's oos.

I didn't say it wasn't a good buy. It's a great buy for the price IMO. As long as you're not running more than 1080p (which the avg user isn't)

OOS -- but you can still order from Amazon, ships within 1-2 months.

Good deal, too bad it went quickly. There hasn't been many good video card deals this year.

Wouldn't that kill the time you need to submit the rebate?

Yes, but then you're paying extra $20 for the card effectively since it will be too late to fill out the REBATE form.

This is true but most common people can't tell the difference in quality of picture between 720p and 1080p. Bumping down your resolution to 720p makes your video card run more smoothly; try it out. I suggest trying out 720p and getting this card. It will look pretty damn good.
