Which brand should I go for?

XFX seems suspiciously cheap

Whats wrong with XFX?

nothing...xfx is great, ive owned an xfx radeon 4770 before and that was when they offered life time warranty on their graphics cards. Nowadays they only give you 2 years warranty, but their quality is still great.

Oh. Im thinking of getting the XFX one because the price is about 150 less than the other brands

its a pretty good deal for you guys i guess but for me in Canada ive seen the price of a sapphire 7950 go for around $270 after rebate which is equivalent to $170 GBP

I'd say just clock your 7850 and wait for the new cards, unless you really need the extra performance right now.

Slightly cheaper but not in the UK.

This ^^

New series is out in Q1

However if you really do need to buy this (and selling to your mate for 175 is really good) then i would buy it from Scan, dabs or Overclockers instead. Yes it is 20 pounds more ( http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-xfx-radeon-hd-7950-double-d-black-ghost-hcell-5500mhz-gddr5-900mhz-1792-cores-hdmi-mini-dp ) but you get 3 x free games which i couldnt see on the amazon site, and secondly this is a proper PC part retailer, as you did notice the one you posted wasnt coming from Amazon themselves but a 3rd party?

DUDE ARE YOU CRAZY?

A hd 7850 is good enough to run modern games at ultra.

Wait until next gen and then upgrade

[QUOTE="ClassicRockFTW"]

[QUOTE="General_X"]Well first I have to ask the question, what games aren't being run well by the 7850? Although you do have a pretty good thing going being able to sell your 7850 for a very good return, I still believe that you will get more bang for your £50 if you wait for ATLEAST another gen of cards.General_X

Eh. With all trade in a resells im doing Im only spending around 50-60 actual cash on the 7950
