Hi,

I am upgrading my computer - I have quad core Q8200 CPU, MSI G41M-P33 combo motherboard, CX500 PSU and 1680x1050 monitor. I plan to overclock cpu a little. What GPU should I buy to play Battlefield 4 multiplayer with decent fps? When I search google, everybody is asking about a GPU card to play high/ultra settings. For me low details are good enough - all i care is to have ~60FPS. I was thinking about buying R7 265, R9 270 or maybe GTX 660 - are they good for me, or should I go for something different?

Thanks in advance!

i would say even the r7-250x would do it but the r7-260 would be a little better...

here is a benchmark, but keep in mind they are using a 6 core i7 overclocked which makes your q8200 look paltry. if we figure somewhere between the shown low and medium settings, take off maybe 20% fps for your processor. if you were trying to run the high system spec, you would have to take off about 50% fps, but you said your not trying to run high/ultra settings.

The 750 Ti, R7 260X, 265, R9 270 or 270X should all fit the bill. The difference is, the more you spend the better graphics you get. I personally would get the R9 270. You can get one for $155, $5 more than the 265, and it'll play anything on medium-high for a while.
