I am running an ati hd 6570 and a hd 7770. I have pcie x16 ver.2.0. and plenty of spare power. I will have an available slot for another x16. What is the next upgrade from the 7770? I can't trust newegg or tigerdirect or even some blogs that I can't be sure of who is giving advice. I Can trust this group with all of the eyes watching. Thanks |

So I get my r7 265 in a week or so. What upgrade from there, remembering I just have PCIE 2.0? |

Don't ditch your HD 7770 especially if you at some time want to participate in projects which need DP (or use some program that wants/uses DP) HD 7770 "Has Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP)" http://versus.com/en/amd-radeon-r7-265-vs-sapphire-hd-7770-vapor-x-black-diamond Some more compare links: http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=2040&gid2=796&compare=radeon-r7-265-vs-radeon-hd-7770-1gb-gddr5 http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-265-vs-Radeon-HD-7770 AMD Radeon R7 265 Review http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r7-265-review,3748.html  - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :)  |

Thanks BilBg, I read a few of those reviews. Interesting. Somewhere I had noted that the GFlops of 1843 for the R7 265 vs. 1280 for the 7770. That is what decided me to get the r7 265. I have no intention of getting rid of the 7770, but I think I am going to move my 6570 over to my second machine using the riser. It now has something like a 4650 in it which is processing seti tasks too. |

I think I am going to move my 6570 over to my second machine using the riser. It now has something like a 4650 in it which is processing seti tasks too. You may have problems with such combination (ask in Number Crunching): the 'Legacy' drivers that work for 4650 may not work for 6570 and vice versa - the drivers that are needed for 6570 may not work for 4650 Better try your two 6570 in that machine instead of 6570 + 4650 Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Thanks, I'll do that. Better still, I think I'll just pull out my 4650 since it won't do single precision in any event. That first 6570 was fried. Nine months - $50. |
