Hey All,
Its my first time buying a GPU and therefore have some questions.
I've got an i3-2100 with 2 GB of RAM. My monitor is the Samsung S20A300B, 20" with a native resolution of 1600x900.
I'm not a heavy gamer. Prefer strategy games like Command and Conquer, Game of Thrones, Assasins Creed.
These games are very slow on my PC and so I decided to get a decent budget GPU. My budget is about $100.
After much research, I've decided on the HD 7750.
Many people recommended that I get an AMD card rather than Nvidia (They said low budget AMD cards are better than Nvidia). But then I've also heard many people saying that Nvidia's cards last longer.
I have 2 friends who had, at first, purchased AMD but they failed just after a couple of months. Then they got Nvidia, and the cards have been working fine since then.
#1) are there any complains about AMD's cards failing often? or was this just co-incidence?
#2) Nvidia cards are cheaper. Is there a considerable difference in performance between AMD and Nvidia?
#3) Is there any other budget card within $100 that may outperform the HD 7750?
#4) Will the HD 7750 be able to run the games I mentioned above and any related games?
#5) I've seen 2 versions of the HD 7750. One was by Gigabyte while the other was by Sapphire. The Sapphire one was priced more. Is there any difference between them?
Another thing, my friend said that these cards heat up quickly and that I'll need to apply some thermal paste as well or my card will not last long. That true?
I have a very limited money, so please suggest cards that are within the budget.
Thanks alot.
