Whats the best GPU under $350

depends on your monitor/res and what you will be ding with the machine.... Personally I would never buy a video card with less that 2gig of ram above 1600 res. For $350 or less you have lots of good choices. I just purchased another 6950 2gig card to run in crossfire. One of those was all I needed so far but have cards to bring over to my next cpu/board upgrade. You may want to hold off until the gtx670 comes along ?

Wait for the 670. It is next in line to be released now that the 680 has been out for a while.

Thanks, appreciate the input.

The 660 and 670 from Nvidia should be great but don't expect to get your hands on one too quickly. For right now you can get the reference 7870 for $329.99 on newegg and custom cooler ones for about $350. The reference 7950 is going for $379.99 on newegg also and would be worth the extra $40 over a GTX 570 imo.

Those 2 cards are really good deals at those prices if you ask me. Tom's even stated in their last best GPU for the money article that And that was for the 7870 at the ~$360 price point. You can now get a 7950 for sub-$400!

buy 7850 OC also good, with gigabyte dual 10cm fans.
