What would be the best graphics card that can max out (nearly) any game at 1080p while getting at least 60fps, while not being overkill and a waste of money?

E.g a GTX 780 would be overkill for 1080p gaming, and money spent on that could have been put elsewhere in the build.

Hi there,

First of all GTX 780 is not an overkill in 1080p. Most GPU intensive games like Metro, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3 would show you exactly about 60 fps at maxed out settings and those games are not new now. So newere games could be even more GPU hungry since lots of them a "wracked" ports from consoles with minimal optimization for pc.

The other thing is that there is no need in 780 no more because there is GTX 970 on the market. Best card for the price for high-end gaming.

I have the same question as the OP. I have a Sandy Bridge quad core i5, with 8 GB RAM, and a 1080p monitor, and it seems like getting a GTX 970 GPU would be a waste. What card is ideal for high(not necessarily ultra) details 1080p gaming?

Thats not a waste for real. You would deal fine with the all most GPU intensive games which will come in near future. For the price it's a deal breaker. Also you can upgrade your monitor some time later when 4k monitor become cheaper.

If you still think that this is a waste go with R9 280X/GTX 770. Both are good cards for 1080p gaming. I've tested both ot them and they are fine (GTX 770 better). And dont forget that those 2 cards would NOT give you constant 60 fps at any modern game (ultra settings). Be ready!

Have a nice day

A gtx 970 isn't a waste, you'd get smooth gameplay now and in the future. If you bought a graphic card based on now games then you will struggle in the upcoming games
