hi, i had a sapphire 7750 which is, for 99% dead now

i was looking for new one, sadly

i did a little research and i tought of R7 260X (asus), i was thinking if you recommend me anything better for price or....? i tought price diffrence fro 260x is small so its really worth paying 20$ more for a good graphics card, but i didn't look at nvidia at all, because i tought it has no driver support on linux at all, if NVidia has good driver support on linux ! what cards you recommend me?

i used to be a gamer but i dont have any time now, mostly i play heartstone now,

i play TF2 which almost any cart can run it at 60 fps xD i also play wow, would like to max it, my monitor is 1920x1080p, might get new 1920,1200 !

a good cart would be a cart that i can run tombraider max for lets say 20fps, ( it would lag, i know but i would just lower the graphics,) my old 7750 gave 18 19 fps, i would be happy if it gave 27 fps or ~ for like 120$ max ,

my specs:

motherboard = P8B75-V ( i know its a horrible mobo for my cpu, but its a long story..! :D )
CPU = 3570k
power = 80plus silver 650W green GP650B-OC
ram = kingstone hyperx blue 1600mhz, running @ 1666mhz (2x4GB)
i dont think anything else is neccessery !

Linux drivers most times come from Linux and I'm sure its supported

as far as the card to get well you pick one and run it now weather it does as you want or it don't you can get a card that you read will do all this and hook it up and funny it falls short of what you were expecting .. I got some nice cards that seemed to not do so well and some run of the mill cards that did a great job over what I expected from them

you and I can get the same card and the one you get 100 fps @ 65c with 35% fan and mine may just do 80fps @75c with 80% fan and so on.. so iust can come down to luck of the draw .. all you can do is read up on the cards you would like and choose one and hope it is a winner

:o  thats bad:(  but anyway i dont think theres i can do anything about the diffrence, so, can you suggest me other cards?

also now i see that the drivers are both good let me look for some NVidia cards! but not sure if they got good cheap ones!

Edit: i see that 750 Ti is only around 20$ more expensive, i think its good, also i can play stereopic with it :D  its stupid and not a feature to spend money on, but its like a free feature, why not !! (i see it has better fps in some games, so i tought its worth 20$)
how about 7850? R7 265 can't be found here, i just spent 3 hours finding a WD blue here, my country is a joke!

me too, im not a fanboy either, i had both AMD and Nvidia in past, i used to be Nvidia fan but once my friend told me AMD one time, i see amd is great, and i didn't have any drivers problems !! nvidia used to be great too,

than i guess i will look up some benchmarks, and see around that FPS what graphics card is good,
