i am on low budget
i can buy a gigabyte 7750 or if i invest more i can buy gtx 650

my psu can only support 7750 i was using gt440 of my friend for few months

but if i buy a gtx 650 then i also have to buy a psu which will be out of my budget because next month i will buy a samsung led 1080p

i will play games on 1080p but not on "ULTRA" settings or some thing
and i also want to confrm that does gtx 650 has a big differnce in perforamnce at 1080p

what will be best for me i will watch movies on 1080p but in gaming i will adjust according to games needs
my main point is if i buy a 650 and a psu instead of 7750 then on 1080p does it effects great or buying a new psu and also invest on 650 will be a waste according to my needs ?
and 1 more thing i have never buyed ati before this will be my first ati card
i have used fx quadro 1400,fx quadro 3500 then gt 440 now going for 7750 also want to know that i have heard that ati cards have driver problem ??

i saw some one where GTX 650 performs same if not slightly better than 7750. they both have same PSU requirements, 400 watts and 24 amps. and GTX 650 consumes about 60+ watts. so you should go with the cheaper option if you like to play @ high to medium settings. btw whats your PSU specs?

those two cards are insufficient for 1080p gaming even on low settings. the hd7750's performance is on an equal footing vs the gtx650. it just depends on which games you'll be playing. the 7750 does not need a 6pin cable and is worth the price of admission for that alone. buy the 7750 if you want to but a gtx650ti/7770 should really be your baseline for 1080p gaming on low-mid settings.
 

The GTX 650 requires a 6-pin PCIe power connector, the 7750 doesn't.
 

The 7750 and GTX 650 both get around 40 FPS in Crysis 3 and Far Cry 3 at 1080p low settings. So it's doable... barely.

are you sure? i thought only 650 Ti requires a power connector.

i don't recommend that. in fact, never ever dip your toes into the "barely" territory. trust me you'll be disappointed with the results.
