Cheapest GPU possible.....

GamerDrone · Jul 5, 2013

So i got a brand new rig :
AMD Fx-6300 3.5 Ghz 6 cores
8GB Ram (4x2) 1333Ghz
1TB HDD 7200Rpm
500w Antec PSU

But i thought i might be able to use my older XFX ATI Raedon HD 4870... But now it heats u to 100 C. even the average temp is 70 C. and i have a feeling that it will damage my PC bcz it makes my cabinet soo hot that i can even touch it so i need a dirt cheap Graphic Card (bcz i dnt have any cash left) to play games like World Of Tanks, COD etc..

The 7770GHz edition ought to do you well:

If that is too much, you can grab the 7750:

Or the 6670:

clean the dust out of the heatsink fins and fans. remove the heatsink, clean old thermal paste, reapply new and reassemble.

GT 640, Look up some benchmarks for your games...

The HD 4870 is somewhere between the 6670 and the 7750.

Btw I had the same problem with my 4870, so I lowered its voltage by a small amount and its temperatures are now in check, it's working like this for about 2 years with no issues. The software I used is ati tray tools, google it if you want to give it a try.

swifty_morgan · Jul 5, 2013

so what did you do?

did you update BIOS or do any motherboard driver updates?

or maybe try a slightly older driver.

GamerDrone · Jul 5, 2013

And i can even afford those GPU's....

tell me something around 50$

swifty_morgan · Jul 5, 2013

I see the PS is a turd, ................. just because something says 500watts doesn't make it okay. People have to stop buying power supplies by price.

doron · Jul 5, 2013

Try to get a used card then, you might find something good and cheap

swifty_morgan :

Are u out of ur mind ??

Antec is a pretty gd company -_-

swifty_morgan · Jul 5, 2013

even antec has turds,,,,,,,,,,,,, that's not the one that came up when I searched.

For computer cases, sure. I wouldn't ever buy/use a power supply from them though.

envy14tpe · Jul 5, 2013

funny and stupid comments. Good luck....expand your budget.

Why not? Antec is one of the big 4 PSU companies that I would recommend to anybody. Very reputable brand.

+1... http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

Anyways, try what doron said and lower your voltages. If not, look for a used graphics card or ask around family and friends. I wouldn't buy a $50 card. Save up a bit until you can at least get a $100-$150 one...

Gigabyte 6670 2GB any gd ??

Zooshooter · Jul 5, 2013

expl0itfinder :

Mostly because I already have 2 from Corsair. So, partially because I don't need one, and partially because I ruled them out when I was looking earlier. In another 6-8yrs when I need a new PSU again I may find that things have changed and I may choose them, but for now they're off the radar.

smeezekitty · Jul 5, 2013

Antec may not be the top choice in quality but the majority of their units are good.

Mostly manufactured by delta and sometimes seasonic.

You won't get a very good GPU for $50. Can you stretch it to ~$70 to atleast get a 6670?

The cheapest possible GPU would probably be a Geforce GT210 but that is a terrible GPU.

GamerDrone · Jul 6, 2013

Well i am getting a brand new XFX ATI Raedon HD 4850 1GB DDR3 and a 1 year used EVGA GTX 260 ... so which one should i pick ?

smeezekitty · Jul 6, 2013

They are both between a 6670 and 7750 in strength. They are both much more much more power hungry then the 6670/7750.

The GTX260 really chews power. But NVidia drivers generally support old cards better then AMD.

Cheapest GPU possible.....
