a cheap and good Graphics Card for playing dota 2

SLiQue29 · Feb 3, 2017

Hi guys, Just wanted to ask if what would be the best graphics card you can recommend on playing dota 2 in 50-70fps?
I am currently having 30-40 fps 20fps, when in team clash.

please check my specs:
ASROCK H61m-DGS
GTX 430 1gb
4 GB ram
I3-2120

what I have in mind is buying a inno3d geforce gt730 or AMD r7 240.
Cost less here in our country hehe.

The gt730 is stronger than the r7 240.

DDR5 only, do not get a DDR3 version of either the 240 or 730.

Wholeheartedly second this.....a 1Gb DDR5 card will outperform the 4Gb DDR3.

Look for any DDR5 in your area that's in your budget, and you'll be able to find a very playable setting in the range you're looking for in DOTA2

Just to be sure, make sure your PSU is up to the task (with whatever you end up with):

I thought that if it is 2gb it is better, so DDR5 are better even if it is one gb only?

SLiQue29 :

GDDR5 is much faster, and optimized for graphics. Older DDR3-based cards can simply not make up for the older RAM technology with more volume (this is especially true for gaming).

Geekwad :

thanks for the reply sir, will check that one out in one of the stores. hopefully the gpu will be able to run by my motherboard, No idea to check though, but ill find a way.

Thanks again!

Hmm,the Rx 460 windforce oc should be what you want,for about $105 you are getting a beast for esport tittles

Mister_007 :

thanks for the reply sir, I will check that one also

just wanted to add, since i dont know how to check if my mobo can take those videocards that was recommended.

SLiQue29 :

download cpu-z from here http://www.cpuid.com/
If you still dont know if the card is compatible with your mobo Just say the name of your mobo and i will search it up

**after installing cpuz open it and go to the mainboard section (or something like that ) and there u should see the brand

THANKS for all the reply, What I have in mind is to choose with these video cards

(ALL 1gb ddr5):
SAPPHIRE R7 240 or R7250
RADEON HD7750
RADEON HD 6670
what would be the best card among them?

SLiQue29 :

Hmmm,what is your budget?

SLiQue29 · Feb 4, 2017

Mister_007 :

any from the 4 given, I could actually buy one of them.

Mister_007 · Feb 4, 2017

SLiQue29 :

I could give you a better option if you tell me how much money are you gona spend on the gpu

SLiQue29 · Feb 4, 2017

Mister_007 :

sorry for that, I live in the Philippines. my current status could be Php2500 or in dollars that could be $50.35 (via converter) I know that is not much but hoping to get better,higher fps in dota 2

Mister_007 · Feb 4, 2017

SLiQue29 :

Hmm,im not sure,try posting a new thread with only those 3 gpu.
My advice is to get enough money for the rx 460 windforce,with that you should be able to play dota 2 1080p max settings with about 100 fps and gta 5 1080p with decent settings and get about 45 fps.And dont buy the 4gb version,the card is not powerfull enough to use 4gb instead go for the 2gb version.Hope i helped

Of those choices the HD7750 would be the best.
