7850 & 7870 v big difference? both powercolor right
true true. haha.
btw guys. will i be able to fit powercolor 7850 2GB inside my cpu?
cause there's a difference in size between my current one and powercolor 7850.
Palit GTX 560 Ti VS PowerColor 7850 2GB
188mm x 112mm VS 203mm x 111mm x 38mm (Got their size from their respective websites)
7850 and 7870 got difference, just like every card that is above the tier of another. But can say the difference between 7850 and 7870 is quite a big jump as compared to other card tier jumps. This is because 7870 is a tahiti card, which is base on 7900 models, so it is more of a 7920/7930 card kind of thing. However, the jump is not big until you can compare with the next tier, so it kind of makes it more of a 'bang for buck' compared to 7850. But if budget don't allow then I don't see why not just settle for a 7850, cos no matter how you see it, every card of the next tier is always better and you can never try and get the best unless you have the $$$, nevertheless, it depends on yourself and if you think the cost value is worth it or not.
And the GPU don't fit into your CPU(Processor). Unless you meant if it will fit into your computer, or more accurately said, the case of your computer.
GPU slot into the PCI-E slots, which I assume you will definitely have at least a free pci-e slot after you rid of the gtx560ti(also a gpu so using your pci-e slot)
What you need to check for is if your casing can fit it. Measure from the IO ports(input output ports, meaning the back of your casing where your 560ti ports from), measure from there until it hit's an obstacle, such as a HDD cage, then see if the card you going for next can fit in or not.
Do note that certain case, the HDD bay can remove so you can have more space for the GPU. Best to check yourself, and if you have many HDD and need that HDD bay, maybe can mod yourself or find space for it in the case.
Do check, cos these differ from case to case.
