cheap graphic card up to £80

ttimetr · Dec 30, 2013

HI, I'm looking for a new graphic cards, my system as it stands,

4 core 640 AMD running at 3.2GHz x 4
8GB ram
120GB SSD + 2TB
750w PSU
M5A99X EVO Asus motherboard
5450 radeon card

So the 5450 has to go, but what to buy?

A GPU is something you really don't wanna go cheap on, at least fi you play a lot of games.

I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150598

However it's only 1GB and doesn't support Windows 8.

I'm running win 7, so win 8 is not a problem, I've found the 6850, how does it compare to the 7770?

If your looking for a good budget card its hard to wrong with the Radeon HD 7770 or 7790. They are speedy little cards and very affordable. They are slowly being phased out in favor of the R7 260.
On the NVIDIA side in that price range is the GTX 650, but its not quite as fast a the HD 7770.

ttimetr :

The 7770 is around 5% faster than the 6850, so there isn't a huge difference between the 2. The 7770 has more efficient power consumption

Up to 80 pounds... Maybe this HD 7770:

If you can push the budget to 140 pounds or so get an R9 270.

So it's looking like the 7770, any make? will this be ok on my psu ?

eadlef · Dec 30, 2013

Your PSU is actually an overkill for the 7770, as it only needs 500W.

ttimetr · Dec 30, 2013

Hi, I've got this psu http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-xfx-p1-750s-nlb9-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-sli-crossfire-eps-12v-quiet-fan-atx can I run any of the high spec cards?

aevm · Dec 30, 2013

ttimetr :

Yes

eadlef · Dec 30, 2013

Yes, just like I said. You can even buy a GTX 780 and your PSU would be enough.

ttimetr · Dec 30, 2013

Is this card any good ? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-11202-13-20G-Graphics-Express-Technology/dp/B0096WIFU0/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1388434342&sr=1-3&keywords=hd+7750

eadlef · Dec 30, 2013

Yes, but the HD 7770 is better. That one will save you some cash though.

ttimetr · Dec 30, 2013

found this for £70 http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/product_index.aspx?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1159&pid=1452&&lid=1 what do you all think?

eadlef · Dec 30, 2013

That one will do. But as I said before it's not the best for gaming.

aevm :

This, the XFX Radeon HD 7770 is pretty good. I'd try getting an R9 270 like the quoted poster said.

eadlef · Dec 30, 2013

The best one in my opinion would still be this one:
