Best budget graphics card...

[andymcdougal]

I'm building a new computer, but my budget is limited. At the moment I have the (AMD) HD 5830 1GB listed as my card, but, ideally, I'd like something a little bit cheaper but with similar performance (perhaps the 5770???). The processor is the AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0GHz, and the RAM is 6GB DDR3 1600MHz (3 x 2GB). Thanks.

5770. If you have the cash go for the best perf/$ card : 5850.

And we're looking at similar performance? I'm not looking for a graphics card on-the-benchmark, if you know what I mean.

A little slower than a 5830, but alot cheaper

I'm seeing good prices for the 5770 so I'm going to get that one.

Enjoy it.
