I plan on updating my GPU but I want to spend the least amount of money possible. My question is if both of the GPU's listed below have the same core and amount of memory only difference is one being GDDR4 and the other GDDR3 how much difference would there be performance wise? Couldnt I OC the 3850 core speed to equal the 3870?
I compared the two cards on tomshardware VGA Chart and I dont think the extra FPS is worth $50-$60 The most demanding game I play CSS
I might get into other games like COD4 or somethin idk but what are your guys opinions?
I will be using the GPU with a 22inch LCD
