Getting Some New Hardware

11-20-2012, 02:02 PM #4

Is using DirectX9 with the 7850 difficult/a problem for anything else? I've never use anything besides integrated graphics before. I was originally going to get the 6870 but then heard some stuff about fan problems and then I saw that the 7850 is about the same price and is supposedly better. I'm not going to be doing to much PC gaming with besides emulation. I'd like to get whichever card will last me longer because I'm not really trying to upgrade my card again anytime soon after this, so which should I go with? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
