This deal seems almost too good to pass up:

http://www.pixmania.co.uk/graphics-card/sapphire-technology-radeon-hd-7790-1gb-gddr5-pci-express-3-0-11210-00-20g/21323666-a.html?ectrans=1&gclid=CM6VzemE7rkCFY_KtAoduV8AmQ#srcid=11270&nopopup=1&merch=1

It's 20% off, and nobody else is selling it for any less than £95.

Some background: I previously had a Palit (ugh) GTX 460 SE, which seems to have been taken out by a failing PSU, a few months out of the warranty that I can't find and probably wouldn't want to redeem anyway because I would just get another 460 SE.

The 7790 is a step up, but it's not as good as the 7850 (about £30 more) or even the GTX 650 Ti Boost (but that seems absurdly large and I worry it wouldn't even fit in the case - there's about 37cm available from what I can see).

Is it worth going for the deal, waiting for something better, or doing something else?

 

 


Please read my above post buddy, don't want you to be wasting your money. 7950 over clocked can pull well over 3 teraflops compare that to ps4 1.8 teraflops GPU.

Please take a look at this overclocking guide and benchmarks.

if you're a gamer 256 bit cards should be the minimum standard. 128 bit is a big no no.
