Radeon HD 5850 vs Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition
Summary
Reasons to consider Radeon HD 5850 |
Based on an outdated architecture (ATI TeraScale), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition |
71 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the Radeon HD 5850 . |
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
Supports Direct3D 12 Async Compute |
Supports ReLive (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Supports Mantle |
Based on an outdated architecture (AMD GCN), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
