Im planning on buying this card and would like to know what games it can. I want to play games such as BF4 cod and titanfall! Thanks

Baily Case :

depends on the resolution of your monitor, and the wattage of your power supply.

What are the rest of the parts in your computer? (Include the PSU brand to)

TheMentalist · Jun 29, 2014

I would go for the 250X instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202097, for just 20 bucks extra. This will play games like BF4, Metro LL, Titanfall on low to medium settings on 1080p.

Motherboard= Asus m3a78-em
Cpu= AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core 2.30 Ghz
PSU= Apevia TL450W (I believe)
Monitor= Acer x193w
OS= W7

TheMentalist :

According to MSN740 on youtube. He uses the GPU i listed and runs BF4 on High with about 40 fps.

^---Hmm, maybe that's possible.

I heard since the time of these benchmarks release, they improved things for both game/graphics cards. You might get 10+fps added on to the numbers provided.

With that bad of a power supply though, I'd go with a 750ti since one is on sale for $110 right now. (It would get 30+fps on utlra in bf4)

If you can fit that into your budget I'd recommend it. If not, nothing wrong with the r7 250x.

So go with the card I listed?

jaraldo · Jun 29, 2014

hehe, well if you could mention a budget we could answer you better

There is this 260x for example that's cheaper than the 250.

I dont want to go over 80$ I also found this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125662&cm_re=radeon_7770-_-14-125-662-_-Product

jaraldo · Jun 29, 2014

Up to you if you want to buy refurbished. You won't have any warranty and will have an already used graphics card just to save $30

I'll see what I can find for $80

RazerZ · Jun 29, 2014

Go with this 260 instead:

It's basically a brand new card that was returned for whatever reason.

$70.77 and free shipping.

TheMentalist · Jun 29, 2014

The card he benchmarked uses the GDDR5 memory type. The 250 got DDR3, which is a bit slower. The 250X has GDDR5, plus excels in some other factors aswell: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r7-250x-graphics-card-review,3747-3.html.

Under $80: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr7250x1gbd5he

jaraldo :

Thanks!! So which would be better out of the two I said? The 250 or the refurbished one?

RazerZ · Jun 29, 2014

Baily Case :

Check out the card I posted, it's better and cheaper then the 250. At this price it's a great deal.

jaraldo · Jun 29, 2014

@Baily
Nope, looks like you have all the options here. I'd still get the 260x as it will perform better than the 250

TheMentalist · Jun 29, 2014

He doesn't want to spend more than $80, so the 260X falls off. There is the 250X and the 250 left, unless he's ok with refurbished ones.

TheMentalist · Jun 29, 2014

Get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/powercolor-video-card-axr7260x1gbd5dhoc

RazerZ · Jun 29, 2014

... The card I posted is a brand new R7 260. It's only $70 and the card is in perfect condition. The box might have some scuff marks on it, but that's it.

Baily Case · Jun 29, 2014

jaraldo :

I need them at 80$ to 90$ This is the max amount of money I can spend!

Baily Case · Jun 29, 2014

TheMentalist :

Link to NewEgg? Thats where Im going to order all my stuff for this...

Baily Case · Jun 29, 2014

RazerZ :

PSU requirements? And will it bottleneck?

jaraldo · Jun 29, 2014

Fair enough, it was only $10 and you'd get it back, but I completely understand as we can play the "it's just $10 more" game all day

If you were to go with a refurb I'd go with the r7 260.
If you wanted new I'd go with the 250x.
