Good graphics card for DayZ

Ziloz · Aug 10, 2014

Well, I have an Intel Core i3-2120 @ 3.30GHz and 6 GB of ram. What would be the best / cheap graphics card for gaming? Like good FPS and such? I'm thinking at about $100 - $160. I'm just looking for a better one for DayZ. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=4843&game=DayZ - any crappy old gpu will do.

For $160 try - MSI R7 260x $130 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127762

or Sapphire R7 270 $155 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202090

R9 270 is your best bet.
Video Card: Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card ($149.99 @ Newegg)

256 bit, 180GB/s, 2GB VRAM.

EDIT: Apologies, I forget to remove all other parts in PPP, it showed with discounts subtracted.

DayZ is heavily CPU bound, so the cpu might hold you back a little, but as for the best GPU in the price range, i'd go for the R9 270x

But if you want something a bit cheaper get the r9 270, it has only slightly lower performance and can be overclocked to equal a 270x quite easily.

Someone told me that a GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card would be good with my specs and DayZ. Is this an okay processor for DayZ? Or is there one better for cheaper? And by the way, im not just looking for a graphics card for dayz, but im looking for one that will play minecraft too.

I'd go with Gigabyte's R9 270x with the windforce 3x or Asus' DirectCU II cooling.
Based on this:

The Asus and gigabyte version performs similarly. The Gigabyte version keeps temps lower and a cost of a little bit more noise. However, it's quite a long GPU with 3 fans so check if your case can accommodate it. the Asus version is shorter so it should fit in most modern ATX sized cases.

I'd say:

Video Card: Asus Radeon R7 265 2GB Video Card ($155.38 @ Newegg)

256 Bit, 180GB/s, 2GB

PS: as i7 said, any crappy old GPU will run it. It'll be piece of cake for this one too.

Ziloz :

The R7 260/260X/265/270 are all much better both in architecture and memory bandwidth.

Your processor is OK for running both.

Expect 60+ FPS on Ultra in Minecraft and 50+ FPS in DayZ on ultra.

60+ FPS on very high and lower.

PS: Provided you have FHD or lower resolution. Don't expect the same with 1440p.

EDIT: The CPU is actually more than enough for both lol and you should get 60+ FPS in DayZ ultra settings too.
