Graphics card upgrade help.

Cocothemooncat · Oct 15, 2013

I'm currently thinking about upgrading my graphics card from my old gtx 660 SC. My budget range is about $320. I was looking into the msi gtx 760 hawk, but I don't know what card would be the best use of my money. Ideas?

(Also I'm thinking about getting a card that I can sli in the future when I get enough money to buy a second one.)

The best card for your money would be a R9 280X, it keeps up with a GTX 770 in many games, the Vapor-X by Sapphire is a great card

Well, with a budget of $320 I'd definitely look at the r9 280x. Also, it's the best use of your money.

Well the new AMD line is going to come out soon so those might be worth a try and the prices on the 7970s are dropping but if you're set on Nvidia I would personally go with the Gigabyte WF3. From personal experience I have had the best luck with Gigabyte and the Windforce 3 is a really good cooling solution.

I would definitely get the card I'm using. The Gigabyte Windforce Radeon HD 7970 OC 3GB. It's factory-clocked to 1100MHz, costs only $300 and comes with three free games bundled with it!

There's only a couple of days left at this price (Today and Tomorrow):

I'm getting high 40s to low 50s in Battlefield 4 beta at Ultra settings with no stutter at all.

Totaly unrelated but do you mind me asking what driver you're using. I have a Gigabyte 7950 WF3 and its great in all games but BF4 beta was not so good. I had med settings and was getting around 40-45fps

Certainly, I'm using Catalyst 13-9 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. It's the newest non-beta driver that ATi has out.
