Hi!

In a few months, I'm going to get a new graphics card. I am on a budget so I found this cool awesome GPU that I'm interested. I used to have an ATI radeon HD4650..BUT..I overclocked it and that thing turned into a bacon. I do not plan to overclock it because I learned my lesson for not following the guide. Here's the question I'm going to ask:


Can this graphics card play on 1600x900 med setting on bf3,crysis 2,SRTT, and other games at ultra/max/med?
Is this card futureproof?
Is this card better then my old HD4650?
Can this card beat the gtx 460?
Is there other cards similiar to this that's better?
Any good places to sell/recyle my old GPU for a buck or two?


Of course, I WAS about to buy it off of newegg, BUT!!!!....It was a dollar overprice for me to buy it since there's a limit to those visa giftcards. So I am going to buy it off of tigerdirect. Here's my spec, I hope it meets the min req

AMD athlon II x3 (3.3GHZ)[stock speed]
6GB RAM
450rosewill PSU
M2N-78(violet) MOBO
HP pavilion case

i would think med/low bf3
future proof not a chance
better than 4650 a little bit
gtx 460 heaps better
plenty similar but better (7970 same brand, thats similar right)
ebay for your old card

please for your own good save a bit more cash if you want really noticable difference in frame rates
 
Seem OK with your PC.

I agree, you could have been buying faster radeon cards for BF3, such as 6770, 7750, 7770, 6850, 6790, etc like what other says.

But since you're asking us on how 6670 performs on BF3, at that resolution but low settings, you should be able to get 30fps+.

Now for the questions

Can this graphics card play on 1600x900 med setting on bf3,crysis 2,SRTT, and other games at ultra/max/med?

Not really, maybe low if you want 30fps+. I think if you want to play medium at 30fps+ get 6770, 7750, 7770, 6850, 6790 as other says.

Is this card futureproof?

Not really, if you want more futureproof cards, get 6770, 7750, 7770, 6850, 6790 like other says.

Is this card better then my old HD4650?

It should be.

Can this card beat the gtx 460?

I don't think so, GTX 460 is much much faster, GTX 460 is like the 6850.

Is there other cards similiar to this that's better?

I think this card is the best card for the budget now.

Any good places to sell/recyle my old GPU for a buck or two?

ebay/craiglist.

You probably want to get a minimum of a 6770.

I have a Phenom ii x4 980 + a HD 6770 and i play BF3 multiplayer on high settings with 30-35 fps average at 1080p.

Here is a graphics card hierarchy chart so you can compare graphics card

Also, you can sell your old electronics on ebay but i wouldnt advise selling a fried graphics card.
