Hi, I am about to buy HD 7750 this week, or this coming wednesday.

I just wanna ask if it will be good for gaming at 1024x768?
Planning to play modern games on high-ultra (max if it can).

My specs :

i5 3470
4GB
Generic 700W psu

and btw the manufacturer of the card I will buy is PowerColor.

More about : amd 7750 good gaming

You can play it on ultra but not maxed out at about 40+FPS on Battlefield 4 like what my friend did. But I recommend upgrading the RAM. I wouldn't go with PowerColour as there isn't much good reviews about it but it is totally a preference and experience with the brand.

At that resolution, a HD7750 should do well. Make sure you get a card with GDDR5 on it, not DDR3; the chart shows a one-tier difference, but I suspect it's closer to two. Even if your generic "700W" PSU is only good for half that, it will be sufficient. Keep in mind that PSU-shaped objects can die on a whim (e.g. a power disturbance, for which it may lack any kind of filter), and may take other parts with it into the fiery abyss.

Be rely in my opinion. Some manufacturer will have a different base clock though which barely does anything.

wait, I am getting DDR3, thats what the store only have, what is the difference of DDR3 and GDDR5?

Every manufacturer will change things slightly and doesn't affect performance typically. As for powercolor I actually have used quite a few of their cards now on the radeon side and have had zero issues. Only newer cards are ones for others but I am currently running a 7970 for awhile now (2 years or so) and no issues.

GDDR5 is significantly faster.

...and I agree, manufacturer makes little difference. I've owned some Powercolor cards.

7750 with DDR3 is not the best pick at all, the GDDR5 version is just about the same price and is a lot faster. If you can't get the GDDR5 version at one store, get it online. With your CPU, it would be worth it. Also do some price comparisons, the 7750 is a good budget card but is a bit older and you don't want to be paying new card prices for it.

Don't expect it to play all games on high settings, it's a low end gaming card. Your CPU can match a much faster card, and you may be able to find one for the same price if you look around.

At only 1024x768 though, the HD7750 will do well. It is able to handle Guild Wars 2 at 1600x900 on "good" settings (mostly High).

Ok, how about a HD 7730 GDDR5 vs HD 7750 DDR3 ?

if this HD 7750 can't guarantee me no high fps at high or ultra, then I will buy a GTX 750 Ti
BUT if my PSU can handle it.. here is the specs of my PSU :



sorry if its pretty dark.
anyway if a GTX 750 Ti won't work, will a non-ti work ? cause it don't need any extra power cord ?

edit :

or I could just buy a PowerColor TurboDuo HD7790 1GB GDDR5 OC
which is cheaper than the GTX 750 Ti and non-Ti, but I am still worrying
about my PSU..

Its pretty hard to compare a card with a slower core and faster memory to a card with a faster core and slower memory because
it depends highly on the workload (i.e. the game and settings)

700w? LOL
12V * 26A = only 312 watts on the +12
Even with the strong +5 and +3.3v rails (where not much power is needed in modern rigs) it still doesn't add up to 700w

Even a DDR3 7750 will be more than enough. Even 1280x1024 or 1440x900 will be fine

so my PSU will not handle the GTX and HD 7790 ? and I should go for the HD 7750 DDR3 ?

Mind if I ask how much you are spending on the 7790 or what your budget is? Your power supply will work with no overclocking pushing it hard. I would go with the 7790 or 750ti personally but wondering on your budget if their may be better options yet for you.

7790 is pushing it on the PSU. A GTX750 (maybe ti) and 7770/250X would be okay I think

A 7790 pulls 138 watts at load here is the review from here that shows it. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7790-bona...


Which would only leave 174 watts on the 12v rail for the rest of the system
-77 watts for the CPU and you have 97 watts for the rest of the system
Considering everything else I would say it is pushing it too far

True but it would work if can't replace. I thought I suggested another above but was in a different thread my mistake there. You can get a COOLER MASTER GXII 550 for a very reasonable price.

my budget is 100$ but I am willing to save money for the GTX or HD 7790 if will work on PSU.

It probably will. But better yet if you do what BlacksunKing suggested. Actually you could even get the CX430 only $20 after rebait
Then you could get a better GPU

It is although it would definitely run. It would be kind of risky though haha.

I am just gonna go for a hd 7750 and upgrade my ram or PSU,after that sell my GPU and buy a higher end GPU...

The Corsair CX line is not good; they were built with inferior Samxon capacitors that can't take heat and fail early. They would most likely be a lot better than what you have, but you'd need to plan on another replacement in a year or two.
The GTX750 and GTX750Ti are both stronger cards than the HD7750, and most versions of either one also do not need a PCIe power cable. A HD7770 / R7 250X uses something like 81W-85W, which barely needs the connector. If your PSU has one, it should be able to handle one of these cards; BUT the GTX750Ti is stronger than those too.

Just get a 750 Ti, it's faster than the 7750, and won't need any other upgrades and you are not bying a video card twice. Unless you really want to run the demanding games on high settings on high resolutions, then you'd want a power supply upgrade to run a faster card. The 750 Ti is ranked 43 among video cards in PassMark, the 7750 is 120 which is a pretty big difference. Radeon 7790 is slower than the 750 Ti (that is ranked 61), so it's a waste to upgrade the power supply to get it. Just get the 750 Ti.

I would gladly buy the GTX 750 Ti, but it needs a 6pin power connector which my current PSU don't have. But the GTX 750 Non-Ti don't have power connector, but I am worried that my PSU won't handle it... (because its generic)

edit :
all the GTX 750 ti in my local store requires a 6 pin power connector.

EDIT :

I just found a GTX 750 Ti with no need for a power connector.... the question now is will my PSU provide enought power ?

There are only a few watts difference between a 750 and a 750 Ti, less than 10. You will be fine with a non-external power 750 Ti.

Although it may be a good idea to get even a $40 quality power supply in the 400 watt range to replace yours just because it will be better for the system overall.

Wait just to make it clear.. I will be safe with the GTX running on my rig, and will not die because of my stupid PSU ?

If by GTX you mean the 750Ti, yes it will run fine on your current power supply. GTX has a lot of different model ranges so you can't just say "GTX".
