My friend is builing a budget gaming build with an FX-6350. We've picked out all the parts except the graphics card. His budget is $100. He's not overclocking. His current monitor is 1440x900 native resolution, but he is going to upgrade to a 1920x1080 res monitor in the future. My pick for his card is this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
1. Is a 1GB 7770 the best GPU I can get at this price point? I know on this budget sacrifices will have to be made for high frames (like anti-aliasing), but I just want to know if this GPU can run games like Skyrim, Diablo 3, WoW, etc. with high frames at 1920x1080 res. The benchmarks for the 7770 seem well within standards with anti-aliasing off, but I was unsure on the how a 1GB 7770 card would handle the 1920x1080 res
2. Any other suggestions for GPUs that suit his needs that are frequently as this price point? I'm not sure he wants to wait too long for the perfect deal to come along, but some tend to come along more than others, and was wondering if there was any valuable buyer insight there.
Ram: 8GB (2x4)
PSU: 550w Bronze
Thanks in advance for any feedback!

its new and performs decently sir.
also 1gb is good because the card is not fast enought to utilise more than 1gigabyte of videomemory.

seems a decent card and just as good as the 7790 but this cards lowerpriced because its on sale

Oh nice! I think when I saw this one earlier it said Out of Stock so I moved on, looks like that changed.

Niiiice! Man if that's true that might change everything heh. Let me run some of these by my friend and see what he thinks. Still feeling uneasy about taking a 1GB to 1920x1080 res... seems like some sources say that more games are requiring 2GB these days to perform (and in the future...), but at this price point you say the cards aren't fast enough to run 2GB anyway, so it wouldn't help here? Bit of a pickle...

The R7 250 is a renamed 8670. Its weaker than the HD 7750. Its a good video card but its NOT for a gaming pc.

this is the card for you! ASUS 7790 $90 after rebates http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
oddly enough, I also bought an FX-6350 when it was on a great sale, and I'm dropping in two of the above 7790s.

Still $100 if 1 GB is not going to hinder his 1920x1080 performance. He seems more interested in waiting and saving up a little more money for a 2GB though for futureproofing, which made me consider your great point that some of the low end GPU we've been looking at aren't fast enough to utilize 2GB anyway. So I guess my new question now is:
At what chipset/models DO they become fast enough to utilize the 2GB they can provide?
If I know at what level 2GB can actually be utilized, I can give him an estimate on how much that chipset/model will cost, and then he can decide if he wants to pick one of the 1GBs mentioned here or save up and modify his budget for a future 2GB.

well, I hope he's able to kick in the extra $9 just to get $20 back down the road. it's FREE SHIPPING too... on a supposedly great card. IT'S JUST NINE BUCKS!I saw this earlier today! Some iffy reviews on Newegg though... He may push that $9 if I bring it to his attention, but like I said it would be nice to know at what level the cards actually start to be fast enough to utilize the 2GB, find out how much they usually cost, pitch that to him for a future budget, and then le thim decide if that's more than he wants to spend on a GPU and go with one of these 1GB ones or of he wants to wait it out.
Thanks again for all the feedback and response, I wish I could pick more than one answer, everybody's helped in different ways.
Any ideas about which chipsets are the least expensive that are fats enough to actually support the 2GB vram?

According to the second post in this thread, 660 and 7870 is where cards start getting fast enough to utilize the 2GB. How do you determine that Ice?

Best solution
unlike your mobo's RAM, you can't really add VRAM if you're worried you don't have enough. if the price difference isn't massive or if you can offset it elsewhere in the build, then get the 2GB version if you'll feel more at ease. heck, that's what i would do, even if it turns out that teh GPU only really needs 1.2GB for whatever games you'd be playing.
all else being equal - what's the $$ difference in the cards you're looking at, 1GB versus 2GB?

why are you guys arguing with how much RAM a gpu needs? the dude'll be playing at 1440x900.read the original post a little closer. in the first paragraph the op says the friend building this has a 1440x900 screen CURRENTLY, but will upgrade to a 1080p panel "in the future". They are looking for a card with 1080p gaming in mind.
They actually mention the future target resolution again, specifying "high" settings in certain games. None of the games listed are particularly demanding at 1080p, but there is also an "etc"(who knows what games those are?).
