Our Verdict: Upgrading from GTX 1050 to HD 7850 is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for GTX 1050 . Share Your Comments 0

AMD Radeon HD 7850

AMD ’s xx50 cards have always been defined by budget prices with performance that knocks on the door of entry-level graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the GCN 1.0 graphics card inside the HD 7850, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The HD 7850 is much more expensive than the HD 7750 as it costs a whopping $ 249. Compare this to the HD 7750, which came originally at a price of $ 109. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the GTX 650 Ti Boost which costs $ 169.

Spec for spec, this HD 7850 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the HD 7750, by boasting 83.3 % more fps. The HD 7850 has 2 GB RAM compared to the HD 7750 's 1 GB video memory.

Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 650 Ti Boost, the HD 7850 was 15.6 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The HD 7850 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the HD 7750 and it really justifies an upgrade.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050

The GTX 1060 6GB might be the entry-level flagship of the latest Pascal set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most budget PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 1050 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 169. The good news is, with the release of the GTX 1050 Ti, the GTX 1050 's price is getting more discount.

NVIDIA ’s xx50 cards have always been defined by budget prices with performance that knocks on the door of entry-level graphics cards – especially when overclocked.
