Mid-Range AMD Graphics Card Round-Up (HIS 7770 GHz / HIS 7850 / Sapphire 7850)

AMD has affirmed its position in the mid-range graphics market with the successful Radeon HD 77xx and 78xx GPUs. With so many individual graphics cards to choose from, how do you decide which is best? Cooler, factory overclock, VRAM and display outputs are all valid reasons for picking one card over another.

Which mid-range AMD graphics card do you buy? Is 2GB of VRAM worth the extra cost, in comparison to 1GB models? How do current generation models compare to previous generation cards? We aim to answer these questions by pushing a 1GB and 2GB 7850, a 7770 GHz Edition, and a competitively priced option from AMD's HD 6000 series – the 6870 – through our barrage of tests.

So which of these mid-range AMD cards is worthy of our recommendation? Read on to find out.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
