6750 vs 6790

[Dird]

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a GPU for my new build & it will be between these two, unless the mobo (Asrock H67M-GE) I bought doesn't work with CPU (Xeon E3-1220); in which case I might force myself to revert to a nVIDIA 5200fx if the mobo is non-returnable and I need to buy a complete new one...since the CPU seems almost identical to the i5-2400 I guess it should be fine though.

Is there a notable difference between the 6750 and 6790? I play at 1280*960 (or lower) and normally at low settings (fancy stuff disabled). My main priority is FPS levels rather than pretty things. When I get the new PC my initial plans will be to play QuakeLive (Quake 3 in a browser so > 10 year old graphics...still a beauty though), SC2 and DOTA2. I play QL on the lowest settings and I guess SC2/DOTA2 would be the same. My colleague today mentioned pro evo on PC but I don't know what year; I'm guessing that won't be too awesome though?

Assuming new PC games come out that I want to try how long could these cards last me? I guess low-settings online; mid-settings single player. Both good until 2015+? =) I'm normally looking for 60-125+fps for games (125 solid in QL but I used to play Quake 4 with 30-50fps on lowest settings...not very nice).

hd 6750 is about even with an hd 4860 or 5750. while he hd 6790 is a bastard barts based gpu. it has alot more power under the hood. its easily just as good as a gtx 460SE or the bigger more robust hd 5830. and for the same price as many hd 6770's a 6790 is a no brainer

Will this R6790 GPU work with this Asrock H67-GE mobo?

it should. It has a single PCI-E slot, which is all you need.

For that CPU, it is a socket 1155, but I have never tried to put a Xeon into a desktop board.

The 6750 is simply a rebranded 5750.

He posted in gn I think, asking if an xeon would work with the mobo xD
