Need help to choose graphics card

[tiraulti]

Hey, i had some troubles getting the 6670(is not available here) and i have to choose another GPU.
My sistem is: Q8200
tr-2 430 w tt
7 gigs ram
P5Q(cheapest version)

What do you reccomend me?

5670 GDDR5 is just as good.

For what purpose do you use this PC? Gaming? Productivity? Multimedia? What is your budget?

Please let us know and we can make a recommendation. If you're looking for a card for basic non-gaming functionality, a Geforce 210 is a decent general-purpose card.

Does it need an extra pin connector?
I have 100 bucks, its for ocasional gaming, im not going to play metro .

This one needs 1 6-pin connector (Radeon 5770):

It will give you decent performance at $109 with a $20 rebate ($89). I'd spend the extra $10 if I were you. A good match for that PSU too.

Is there any of the 6xxx series that match my PSU?

 

[ubercake]

Other than the 6670, I would say the others under $100 would not be as good.

The 5770 is better in that price range, though. Check out the performance difference:

The 5770 needs extra power, my 12 rail only gives 14 A, i dont think its good for that graphics card, the 5670 1 gddr5 is ok i think.

 

[ubercake]

Your fine. Your PSU has 2 12V Rails; one at 14A and the other at 15A. It will drive a 5770 no problem:

Im getting the MSI 5670 1 ggdr5 to be sure.
ATI drivers work with the MSI or i have to download MSI drivers?

 

[ubercake]

ATI driver should work fine.

I didn't mean to be pushy. Just wanted to give you another option.

 

[tiraulti]

No prob , after I ordered the gpu I saw some people complaining about problems with this MSI card, I hope that doesn´t happen to me.
Thank you.

 

[ubercake]

It probably won't. I wouldn't worry. If it does, though, just keep your receipt.

 

[tiraulti]

,
Do you reccomend me using the DriverSweeper to eliminate my previous drivers(Nvidia)? or just eliminate the mannualy?

I just realized i need to buy a DVI-VGA adaptor.

 

[tiraulti]

Sorry for double post but,
Ive read MSi cards have some problems with ASUS mobos, is that true?

I have a Asus HD 5770 and it has done be great! I suggest for your price range go with a Asus HD 5770!
