GTS250 or HD5750 for an AMD system

Thanks for the quick reply, last question..

If i choose the GTS250 for the price/performance value, will i still be able to play titles that support DX11??

ouch.. and i'm not planning to upgrade for at least 2 years, i guess i'll go with HD5750.

Thanks a lot!

the other article and forum site, i don't remember but there are also other saying that they are of the same speed.. very confusing...

i live in the philippines, i can't buy from newegg. sucks when you live in a 3rd world country with product prices way above other countries.

What is your screen resolution? Sorry missed it on the first read the GTS250 512mb is plenty for that.

^ if you want dx11, the 5750 is a short term solution.

the gts 250 on the otherhand is cheaper (the 512mb version that is), compared to a 5750 which is stuck @ 1gb, with your given gaming resolution of 1440x900 would be put to waste.

i would suggest not a gts250, but a hd4770 instead. which you can find locally (im from the philippines as well) for 4850php ($97). it consumes less power, packs a punch @ your gaming resolution plus it cheaper. if you're still not sold check this out http://www.anandtech.com/video/sho [...] i=3553&p=1...

anyway, im not a fan of the gts250, it consumes as much power as the next tier of card (almost reaching the gtx260 levels).

heres a link of my most favorite local dealer which you might wanna check http://tipidpc.com/useritems.php?username=PCHub.

i hope this helps. and if you do buy a 4770 locally, you can still possibly look for brands that still has a free stalker2 game.

The HD4770 at the price wh3resmycar mentions is a good choice for a casual gamer at those resolutions.

Great! i've decided, i can max out my budget for a HD5750.
I'm also considering that although i may not upgrade my cpu for atleast 2 years, my monitor is already more that 2years old and may need a change sooner.

Thanks for all the replies

i dont believe a 5750 would hold up for 2 years as well, as far as visual enjoyment is concerned.

anyhow, an hd7670/8670, 2 years from now, i bet would utterly dominate a hd5870, and would probably cost ~$80 (or even less) e.g. 4670 vs x1950xtx. i'd play it cheap and get the 4770 (because the op is a little price sensitive)

^ i didnt know the op has already decided but if you're from the philippines, skip the 5750 because....

this is the card to get:

http://tipidpc.com/viewitem.php?iid=4770801

an xfx hd5770 @ $151 (listed price / 50 as $1 = 50pesos), cheaper than your listed 5750.

hope its not too late for ya.

At your resolution, the 577xx's aren't a bad buy, at 1920 x 1200, I'd stick w/ DX10 cards as the 57xx series, from what we've seen so far (Dirt2) can't do 30 fps on DX11 titles.

4770 cost around $108

the denomination i used is 48pesos/$1...
but the price you gave me is really cheaper, i buy parts at pcxpress here at cavite.

membership is free. just remember your username when you walk inside their store.
well theres another [b] 5770 listed costing 7800php on the list from powercolor. pcxpress sucks with their aftersales service. that freakin store wont honor the distributor warranty which leaves you the buyer, to find the distro yourself.

your choice though.

Whoops, beaten..... >.<

dark99, since you're from the Philippines, I'd suggest websites like TipidPC. Which is basically a sort of eBay for computer parts. You can get really good deals on that website.

Anyway, the Radeon 5750 is a bit more expensive than the GTS250, but it's also faster. Either way, you get what you pay for. =)

Instead of a reply. i have a question to you guys..

Will HD5750 1gb work with my MS-7309 MoBo?

I am seeking for you help guys..

Thanks a lot.
