I need a properly fitting graphics cards

[varun706]

Soon, I'm going to build my own gaming rig. I unable to find myself a good graphics card because there are so many choices that can confuse anyone.

So, I've chosen "Azza CSAZ-1000 Solano 1000 full tower gaming case" and I need a good graphic card. My mobo has one PCIex16 slot so I need a PCIex16 compatible video card preferably a single slot form. It should have Directx11 , Shader5.0 model , fan cooling. My budget for video card is $150.

One more thing, my mobo is Crossfire certified.

I really appreciate suggestions.

Nothing is better than the GTX 460 at $150 right now. Its a steel of a deal.
However, for 120-130 you can get 6770 HD. Its performance is of course below GTX 460 but it is also a great value for you money.

Former will give good performance at 1920x1080.
Latter will do good at 1600x900 or 1680x1050.


Both are compatible with your motherboard.

you should also be able to get a 6850 for that price, which would be better since he has a crossfire motherboard he can add another later. Please list the rest of your specs, like cpu/ram/power supply make and model.

I didn't miss that review on single slot video cards.

Then the cards listed including the ones they didn't test mentioned on the conclusion page would be the best ones. Pick the one that fits your budget.
