should i buy a hd radeon 7770 or a gtx 550 ti boost

Logan Roxby · Oct 16, 2013

i want to buy a new gpu for a 500w psu

im thinking of an hd radeon 7770 SAPPHIRE because of its inexpense and 2 monitor support

(i would like 2 monitors)

or a gtx 550 ti boost?

ps. i would like to run bf4 on med or low and still get at least 30-40 fps

pps. i have 8 gigs of ram and an intel i5 3330

ppps. im looking to spend up to 120$ ish

This is out of your price range but I would recommend nvidia 660 from newegg. It comes with $25 rebate and batman origins which is a $50 game. You can get one for about $175. With it you can run BF4 on high settings without a problem.

It's a triple win. You get a nice card for $100 with a game and you can run BF4 better than expected.

I think you mean the 650 ti boost. And it supports two monitors easily. The 650 ti boost is a bit more powerful than the 7770, so if the price difference isn't a big deal to you, i'd go that direction. The 7770 is a great option as well if you need to stay on a lower budget.

There is no 550ti boost, so I am presuming you mean the 550ti. Here is a comparison of the two cards (7770 and 550ti):

Depending on your monitor's resolution, either should meet your requirements. The 7770 doing it a bit better.

For your price range I think the best is the GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB

Jaxem :

what brand? gigabyte or evga?

Jaxem · Oct 16, 2013

Toss up, i would say Gigabyte, just because the cooling seems a bit better (EVGA sticks with blower fan fairly often)...they have the same warranty.

Jaxem :

i heard i should get the 2 gb version of any gpu, and i cant find a 2gb GIGABYTE gpu on newegg

although i found an evga 2gb one for 130

Jaxem · Oct 16, 2013

You'll want at least 2GB vram, though BF4 recommends 3GB. I'd go with the EVGA then if it's the most cost effective 2GB you can find

That will run it easily, CM isn't a top tier PSU maker, but it should work well for your setup.
