I just received some birthday money and my range is $100 to $140. What’s the best gfx card I can buy with that amount of money? I’m currently looking into the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650.
That’s a pretty good offer but what exactly do you intend to play with this card and at what resolutions?
just pick whichever has the best sexy fairy render or whatever on the box
Yeah, I’d go with the 650.
Looks like a steal. I don’t know anything about Zotac, though.
Neither do I, which is what’s preventing me from pulling the trigger.
Best Graphics Cards for the Money
Looks like a Radeon 7770 or a 650 Ti are your best bets, unless you can get that 570, which ought to be a little better. Zotac is generally well rated on newegg, though I don’t know much about them personally (how well they honor rebates, quality of customer support, etc.).
I just bought an HD 7770 and it’s done me pretty good. For example, it plays Metro 2033 with all of the settings maxed, DX11 and 1600*900 very well.
Do you usually play demanding games at high resolutions?
At what framerate? Because I got a playable 25FPS out of that game with my settings on medium, and I’m using the blazing-fast power that is Intel Integrated Graphics 3000.
Ha!
Usually around 35 - 45, though I have tessellation off. Considering this game’s a monster, I find that to be “very well.”
