Best graphics card for my setup

braddullz · Jun 4, 2013

My setup's currently an i3 at 3.3 GHz, 6GB of RAM, and a 500w PSU. I've got an EVGA Nvidia 610 right now, and I'm looking for an upgrade at under £120. I've looked at an XFX 7770, a HIS 7790 and an Nvidia GTX 650 Ti so far, and any recommendations of brand or chip model would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
- Brad

yes a 650ti would be ideal for your setup

Subject to your budget, for overall strength:
HD7770 < GTX650Ti < HD7790 < HD7850 <= GTX650 Ti Boost Edition.
Assuming your PSU is actually capable of at least 350W-375W, any of these cards will run on it.

If you can stretch to a budget of £130 you can get a GTX 650 ti Boost, which offer significant performance boosts over the standard GTX 650 ti. Read Tom's review here:

Thanks all, I think I'm gonna go for a HD 7850 after all, but is there any specific brand anyone would recommend? Like Sapphire or HIS?

The only video card brands I'd avoid are Diamond and Jaton. I've had good results from HIS, Sapphire, Powercolor, MSI, and Gigabyte.

I'd go for a HD 7850, because out of the box it is decent, then overclocked it is a 7870 then do voltage with trixx it is a 7950 killing itself
