Best GFX Card For Intel Corei3 4130

ZealFied · Feb 17, 2014

2 months back i build my PC. I had very tight budget so i went for "Intel Corei3 4130" with "Gigabyte H81M-DS2", TwinMOS 4GB RAM & Asus DVD-Writer. I used my 2 old HDD 1TB + 250GB & PSU 500W.Nexxen.
It cost me around Rs. 27,000/- = $ 257.39/-
Now im looking for GFX card. Again im tight on budget.
Max i can spend Is Rs. 8,000/- = $ 76.26
I Like This: GIGABYTE GV-N630-2GI GeForce GT 630
Currently these games are working fine: Saint Row IV, NFS Hot Pursuit 2010, NFS World Some other old games.
But GTA IV, NFS Mostwanted 2012 are very laggy i want them to work properly. Plus some new games like GTA V & NFS Rivals.

I would go for something like a 7770 if you can find one for that price. http://www.flipkart.com/sapphire-amd-ati-hd-7770-1-gb-gddr5-graphics-card/p/itmd7th7krc5umdg?pid=GRCD7TGZHNSN39YR&otracker=from-search&srno=t_1&query=7770&ref=d8cadcb9-ab31-4910-b153-9a4c8ad1ed96 I found this, which is just slightly over, but will work nicely. A 7750 will save you a bit of money, while sacrificing some performance. http://www.flipkart.com/xfx-r7750-core-2-gb-ddr3-graphics-card/p/itmdruhvpsjhecnk?pid=GRCDNCC9YZGMGE2F&otracker=from-search&srno=t_4&query=7750&ref=24c18863-f78b-4be4-8351-fa1916d13f5f

I Wanna Stay Under PKR 8,000/- = $76.26

What are some websites that list prices by "PKR"? I'm afraid I don't know what currency that is.

ZealFied · Feb 20, 2014

ewok93 :

PKR = Pakistani Rupees

Check this site:
Czone.com.pk
Shophive.com
Galaxy.com.pk

I dont buy stuff online, just to check the prices.

The GT 630 is a pretty useless gaming card.

Try looking for an R7 250

Here's a full review: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-r7-240-and-250,review-32874-7.html
http://www.flipkart.com/xfx-r7-250a-1-gb-ddr5-graphics-card/p/itmdrfpzntsrgbqy?pid=GRCDRFPEZQTFCART&otracker=from-search&srno=t_4&query=R7+250&ref=929a4f62-84cc-461b-8af4-1c9bd63bbf89 - 6850 INR , I couldn't get the pakistan websites to load.

If that's too expensive then even an R7 240 is better.

By the way, 1GB of GDDR5 memory is superior to 2GB of DDR3 don't be fooled by that common marketing trick of putting 2GB DDR3 on a card, 1GB GDDR5 IS faster.

Thats also not in my budget PKR 11,000/-
Any GFX card between INR. 4000/- ~ 5000/-

Not worth buying for gaming. Save your money until you can get a better card.

The Nvidia GT 610,620,630 or AMD 5450/6450 are in budget but fairly useless gaming cards.

ZealFied · Feb 20, 2014

Ok, one more question.
If i upgrade my RAM to 8 gb (currently 4gb) & increase vmemory to 1GB (currently 320mb) in bios then will there be any change in performance??

ewok93 · Feb 20, 2014

With your current setup you really just need to save up for something like a 7750. That will be a huge upgrade and really your only true upgrade.

AshyCFC · Feb 20, 2014

Yes, you'll likely see some more FPS. Not sure if massive increase but it will improve.

ZealFied · Feb 20, 2014

I guess ill save money for good GFX card!!
Thanks guys!!

AshyCFC · Feb 20, 2014

I'd look to save up for a HD 7770, It's a fairly cheap and good card.

ewok93 · Feb 20, 2014

The 250x is essentially the 7770 but actually cheaper.

AshyCFC · Feb 20, 2014

I wasn't sure if the 250x would be available over in Pakistan, otherwise yes the 250x would be ideal.

ZealFied · Feb 20, 2014

I'll check on market tomorrow!!
I found MSI R7 250 here:
http://www.czone.com.pk/graphic-cards-amd-radeon-msi-r7-250-2gd3-oc-radeon-r7-250-2gb-128-bit-ddr3-hdcp-ready-crossfirex-support-video-card-pakistan-p.2384.aspx

which card would you recommend me final one??

AshyCFC · Feb 20, 2014

The 250 is not the same card as the 250X the 250X is as good as a 7770.

The R7 250 is better than a 7730 and worse than 7750.

I'd advise you save up for a 7750 or 7770.

ZealFied · Feb 20, 2014

Whats the difference between 7770 & 7750. 7770 is out of stock on most of the online stores in PK.

ZealFied · Feb 20, 2014

Ok i have made my final decision i'll be buying 7750.
Thanks guys.

ewok93 · Feb 20, 2014

The 7770 is better. Just a bit.

AshyCFC · Feb 20, 2014

The 7750 will be a good card for you, superior to the GT 630 by a good margin.

Enjoy it.

Make sure you order the 7750 1GB GDDR5, It's better than even the 2GB DDR3 version. GDDR5 is much faster than DDR3.
