I'm willing to spend up to $250 for an AMD graphics card, for gaming. I'm currently looking at the 7700 series, but not sure which to get. It needs to be DirectX 11, i know that.

I have a 3.3GHz Intel CPU, 8 GB memory, Windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you,
Michael

+1 for maurelie, but with that budget you could get the GTX 760. Why does it have to be AMD? http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270X-vs-GeForce-GTX-7...


Hi,
Thanks for supporting my answer. I don't like the use of GPU or CPU boss benchmarks, they are more of a marketing numbers than real life numbers. Better use the Anandtech's benchmarks where they test almost every game and applications both on CPU's and GPU and many other hardware

Yeah, I was referring to the gaming benchmarks on that page (20fps difference in BF3), but that's also a good site.

Yes, it should also be noted that both of the cards are reference models. That is why the BF3 benchmarks are lower for both of the cards. My R9 270X gets 75 fps on BF3 with Ultra settings and 4X MSAA. Here are my benchmarks from fraps
