Best gaming card for ~50?

[Bangu]

Hey everyone I am looking to replace my graphics card that just died. I have around 50 dollars to spend(after mail in rebates) My psu is good so that isnt a factor. What is the best card I can get for ~50?

 

[inzone]

What is your cpu , motherboard , ram and psu?

What did you have before?

My advice would be to save up until you can at least afford to spend $90-100. The Radeon 6770 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150540 would be well worth spending some extra coin on. It's $40 more expensive (after rebates), but it will come with a lifetime warranty and will be able to handle most games at full HD resolution (lower settings).

You can look at these two and they are just under $50.

Here is the soft specs of the computer, because unfortunately I do not have it in front of me.

AMD quad core
Cannot remember mobo
5gb ram
600w psu


I hope that's enough for me to be pointed in the right direction.

What country / currency are you basing this 50 dollars on? Canadian or American?

What games are you targeting, what resolution of monitor?

 

[Bangu]

American. No specific games, just want it to run good and play games.

I think 1334x900 maybe....?

 

[hwangchan]

at 1334 x 900, id agree with inzone's recommendation, get a 6670.

They are a decent dx11 card that can offer good frame rate at your resolution.
