Graphics Card Help?

Postby Andreas414 » Tue Apr 03, 2012 4:49 am

Ok, earlier today I got most of the components needed for my first custom build, only to find that the GPU I'd been looking at (Sapphire Radeon 6770) was no longer available. I'm using a Phenom II X4 960t CPU, 8 GB RAM, and this Gigabyte mobo: http://www.microcenter.com/single_produ ... id=0366104
I'm now in need of a decent GPU that's capable of running games like SWTOR on high settings. The $70 range is ideal, but anything up to $100 is at least worth considering. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. (I was looking at this card: http://www.microcenter.com/single_produ ... id=0328301 Can anyone confirm whether it's any good? Thanks again.)

well from that price range and in that store i think the 6670 is the best option. maybe a gts 440 would be good too, just try to find a gddr5 version and not gddr3.

Or if you save a little bit more you can get the GTX 550 Ti

Thanks for the advice; after comparing cards, I went with a 6750 (found one on sale :D); it's been working great so far, and even runs most of my games on max.
