Hello all, i am using an AMD A10-5700 and a biostar Hifi A85W with 6 GB DDR3. Can you help me what graphics card to pick that would match with the performance? My budget is ranging 200-300$ I need good quality price can compromise.
Yeah, I'd have to do the math, not sure if two 6670 beat a single 7870 in price range. Not a bad upgrade for less than half his budget though. I'll look at some benchmarks later.

When you purchased built the initial computer, did you at least buy with a quality 600 watt power supply so you can feed a Radeon 79xx card. If yes, within budget, should perform about 300% better than what you currently have installed.
For $80 you can install the 6670, it will pretty much double your current performance, and a 400 watt or better power supply should be fine.

3GB 384-bit GDDR5
vs
384(7660D)+480(HD6670) Stream Processors
2GB 128-bit DDR3(HD6670)
the 7950 is the best card in his budget. crossfire can be a PITA

What do you want to play and at what resolution?
you may also want to make it clear that 300% better is 4x the performance.
