I'm not sure he will be better off with the 760.

You won't see much difference, if any...

The 760 and the 7870 XT are pretty much equal, just the 7870 XT is 40 quid cheaper.

thanks for all the help probably going to go with, F-18 suggestion

The 760 and 7870 are near enough equal apart from some minor things like the 760 using 170w when the 7870 uses 185. The 760 has a slightly higher clock speed, faster memory bandwidth and better shader performance.

You need to bear in mind, the 7870LE or 7870XT are NOT Pitcairn 7870's. So unless the card says it is a Tahiti LE or XT card, then it isn't. The difference being that the 7870XT/LE uses the Tahiti LE chip, similar to the one used in the 7900 Series.

So this is the parts ive decided on

You just copy and pasted F-18s post. I don't know how you expected people not to notice.
