Light gamer GPU

[microhelijon]

Hi ppl,

Good day to all,I like to ask what would be a low budget ATi GPU card to start.
I begin to play TF2 and would like to run 3 monitor ( Eyefinity).

I am thinking HD6670

Great choice,that card will play casual gaming just fine and also run eyefinity

I suggest the 7750 because you need a bit more muscle to push 3 monitors. Also DX11.1 may be important if you dont upgrade often. The 7750 should launch tomorrow.

Thanks for the help guys..

TF2 is a free download game if those dont know.A entertaining game for my son.
I hear many says that this is not a graphi intensive game but i know runing 3 monitor will be taxing.

You can always game on one monitor and use the eyefinity for other purposes... Or you were wanting to game on 3 monitors?
Tf2 isnt a taxing game at all

go for at least 7750..or trim it down to 1 monitor..TBH i'd trim it down to 1 monitor anyways.

I am on a 22''LED single monitor,ultimate goal will be running 3 monitor to feel eyefinity gaming

I believe 7 series GPU coming new to the market will be far from my reach.
I dont want to burn a big hole in my wallet

On a budget build one monitor is the way to go and if so then the 6670 or 6770 will game fine for light gaming and tf2.
For eyefinity gaming you will need either a high end gpu or a xfire or sli setup to support the extreme resolution involved. Sound like your best bet is a single monitor and 6770 or 6670

thanks, I probaly will stick to 6670 and crossfire them if going 2 monitor or more.

Eh I don't recommend that. For the cost, a single card upgrade like a 6850 is going to perform a lot better. I realize you want to do eyefinity on a budget, and TF2 is probably the least demanding game for doing it, but honestly spending like $600 on Eyefinity and $75 on a GPU is just completely out of scale.

For a single monitor a 6670 will play TF2 just fine. I'd suggest getting a nice single monitor if you need to budget.

The 7750 should be about $125 and the current 6670 will cost you $85. Its not a big price increase. One other thing is the 7750 will beat two 6670's crossfired in most games.
