Hi everyone,

I have to options now and i would like someone to help me choose :)

1: HD 5750 with 1GB of GDDR5 for 58$
2: HD 7750 with 2GB of GDDR3 for 77$

I will be using it for games like GTA 4, ARMA II and xxx: total war's. Medium to high settings is okay for me.

So, What would be the best for me you think?

König 450 Watt
(Planning to get an) A10-6800K
(Planning to get an) ASRock Fm2A85X Extreme4-M

Thanks in advance :)

They both have the same bus width so I would choose the 1GB GDDR 5 as it has twice the bandwidth speed right off the bat.

Both of these cards seems semi old but GDDR3 has been long overtaken by GDDR5 - I honestly find it annoying to see GDDR3 unless it has a 256-384 bit bus. And even then you are severely shorting yourself. But that is my opinion.

The 5xxx series just seems to low as I use these cards for desktop and browser users at work even.. THe 7xxx series probably has a better GPU but the GDDR3 is really limiting you there.

The best would be a 2GB GDDR5 card with at least 128-bit bus width. Then you shouldn't have bottle necks.

Eventually i have chosen for a:

Asus radeon HD 6770 DirectCU Silent with 1GB of GDDR5.

That is good enough for me i suppose. I like to play games like GTA 4, Dirt or Company of Heroes on medium to high settings and this will make me achieve it i believe :)
