GTX-750 vs R7-260 vs R7-250

Alexdiaz · Dec 26, 2014

I'm wanting to upgrade my GPU. I'm currently using my Pentium's iGPU and its good for games like Minecraft, Garry's Mod, TF2 but that's about it. I want to play more demanding games like Rust, Battlefield 3, COD Advanced Warfare, etc. I don't want to play on highest settings or anything, I just want to be able to play the game. I have a $100 budget on the GPU, I do not want to go a dollar over. I have chosen the three cards in the title because of their price to performance ratio and because of their price. The 750 and 260 are both $99.99 and and 250 is 79.99, I put the 250 in their because I want a good budget card and I can buy games in the Steam's holiday sale with the money saved. So, the question is, which card is the best?

Used 7850 in like new condition only $55 on amazon.

It will outperform all the cards listed above and it's at a great price.

I needed TWO graphs to put things in better perspective. One is with the OC'd version of the Asus. But if we look at the HD7790 for reference i think the GTX750 is faster than the R7-260.

Possibly they are about the SAME if comparing the same frequency for GPU. I couldn't find better links.

$100 (or $80 with MIR?) for R7-260: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r72601gd5oc
or
$95 (or $75 with MIR?) for GTX750: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-01gp42753kr
or
$115 (or $95 with MIR?) for GTX750 2GB: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvn750oc2gi

Summary:
There are Pros and Cons to all these. I wouldn't even consider the R7-250 though.

a) The R7-260 1GB is possibly not as fast as the GTX750 but any MANTLE games might work better on it due to your weaker CPU

b) The GTX750 2GB I linked has 2GB of Video Memory instead of 1GB which may matter for some games.

*I guess go for the CHEAPEST card when your budget is this tight.
