I am looking to buy a new graphics card for my computer for gaming on games like Bioshock and Crysis. I have 16 GB RAM and running on an intel i7 3770 processor, with a 23" 1080p display.
I only want to spend around 100 dollars if possible. I have been looking around and have found a GeForce GT 630 with 4 GB ddr3 memory. Also, for about the same price i found a Radeon HD 6670 with 1 GB GDDR5 memory. to get the best performance for gaming, should I buy the more memory of the slower ddr3 or the 1 GB of GDDR5?
 
Solution
6670 with 1gb ddr5.

DDR3 ram is slow and you wont need 4gb.

I would invest more in the graphics card though. I dont think it can play bioshock or crysis on anything but low

try a a radeon 7770 ghz
