Hi everyone,

As you can see I'm in a dilemma right now with choosing the graphics card for my computer build. I'm trying to cut down on cost, but still run World of Tanks on max settings with a decent fps (around 50).
I'm wanting to get the nvidia gtx 660 2GB but I don't want to spend that money for it. I'm from Canada so everything is so much more costly. I was looking at the Radeon 7850 2GB but that's also the same price. I was wondering if the Radeon 7850 1GB would run it the way I want to run it? Or even the Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 2GB GDDR5 would run it?

I'm leaning toward the 650 ti 2gb because it's a lot cheaper and the core clock is over 1000MHz. This one is also only $140 which I think is a SNAG!

My specs on my build are this:

CPU- Intel i5-3850
MOBO - Asus P8Z77-V LK
Ram- Kingston HyperX Blu Red 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
Power Supply - Corsair TX 650W

I'm gonna be gaming a lot and I have lots of room for upgrades once I get the money.

Thanks
 
Map was pretty non demanding, I find the worst maps are the dusty huge open air ones

Frames: 3577 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 59.617 - Min: 52 - Max: 61

Vram usage wan't too bad either at medium 1080p

Also consider getting a small OC right away, WOT is stupidly single threaded

I think getting an 7850 2gb and OC that would be the best bet on a budget
You can find one at NCIX for cheap
It is quite a bit faster than a 650ti, the 2gb of vram is not that useful yet for the 650ti

It's only $165 after MIR
