Amd HD5850, going to change - mbrescia82 - 08-02-2014
i need some tips..i have a poor HD5850, i'm thinking to upgrade my gpu config but i don't know if it's better to buy another 5850 for crossfire for only 50€ or if would be better one new R9 270.. i need only to decrypt some hashes for educationl purpose..
my pc is:
CPU: i7-4770k
MOBO: bigabyte z87m-hd3
RAM: 8gb pc3-10700

for educational purposes your CPU should suffice.

Maybe look into the GTX750 Ti if you want something that is low cost and low power. I haven't looked at how fast the R9 270 is but I have a feeling the 750 Ti will be a better value if you start factoring in power consumption.

according to golubev's estimations, AMD 5850 is better than gtx750, and a little worse than R9 270..
