Gigabyte Vs. Sapphire Gpu

[Meta_Merks7.0]

Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870 2Gb GDDR5 Vs. Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 XT with Boost 2Gb DDR5. Question GDDR5 OR DDR5 What are the diferences and with the Sapphire Gpu With Just DDR5 Be Compatable With P8Z77 V LX Motherboard?? Does The Sapphire Perform Awesome on BF3??

[_I_]

gddr is ddr for gpus
ddr on a gpu is exactly the same as gddr

and either gpu will work in that board

either 7870 can handle bf3 fine (on high but not ultra at 2560x1440)

well will the sapphire handle metro last light because i dont think gigabyte can

[_I_]

both are the same card
the sapphire has boost which will oc some when its cooler

and a 7970 can play metro last light at higher settings (may need to turn down aa/af some depending on your res)

Heres the thing, most 7870s will run games just fine at 1080p. But the 7870 XT or 7870 myst edition from powercolor are not regular 7870s. They are using the chips from the 7900 series just further cut down. They perform quite a bit better than regular 7870s but are just under the 7950 in terms of performance.

So if its between those two cards id definnitly take the saphire card.

I like gigabyte. :/ Hvzzzzzz..... :D

The saphire is better because the HD 7870 XT is better than the regular HD 7870 or Ghz Edition

As said the Sapphire with the XT suffix is basically a slightly downscaled 7950.
I upgraded my secondary PC just a while back with one. I replaced my rather old 3870x2 and the 7870xt is a really good card for the money they cost.
It also clocks very well if you are into that.
It actually beats the GTX580 i have in my main gaming rig, but as soon as my brother saw that he bought a Titan and i got his old GTX580 for SLI in my main PC :)

I highly recommend the Sapphire 7870XT
