| Vashyo said: I'd pick Sapphire Radeon HD5850 Xtreme over that 550Ti. It costs about the same and has more processing power making it way better option. If you're thinking about crossfire then you can get two of em and it should completely annihilate the 550ti SLI. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102932&cm_re=5850_xtreme-_-14-102-932-_-Product Out of stock from Newegg atm though. Review with benchmarks: http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/sapphire-hd5830-hd5850-xtreme-edition-review-crossfirex/ It's also slightly better card than the 6850 |
Price isn't really that close. $140 card versus $185 card, unless Sapphire's model is much cheaper, which would be odd, but moot, since it's listed as deactivated on Newegg and thus won't likely be stocked again for at least a month. You can always find something better if you keep adding money to your budget, but that's not really the point of a budget PC build. Same with the 6850, which is $30 more.
