[ryanrhino24]

Hey all, I just finished my rig about 2 weeks ago, and I have everything besides the GPU. I am wondering, what GPU I should get. My budget is about 150$ for the GPU, and I would like to be able to run D3, GW2, and LOL at pretty high fps. Here is my processor and MOBO, , should be able to run most cards, help me decide


AMD HDZ965FBK4DGM Phenom II X4 965 Processor - Quad Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 2MB L2 Cache, 3.40GHz, Socket AM3, 125W, No Fan, OEM

if your buying the gpu today, or whenever this deal expires, the MSI-HD 7770 is on sale for 110-15$ rebate=95$ dunno how long it will last for though.

Im actually going tomorrow to go buy the gpu through fry's or bestbuy, as I need it tomorrow

 

[dudewitbow]

if your buying it in person, the 460 performs better, the 550ti is only more efficient since its newer technology.

edit: scratch my last statement, apparently according to anandtech, the 550ti is pretty inefficient and the 460 is better all around than it.

Can anyone back it up that the GTX 560 is better then the GTX 460?

Can anyone back it up that the GTX 560 is better then the GTX 460?

The Ti versions are better but the non Ti version is the same and the SE version is worse.

Ok, so go for the gtx 560? Its 160$ on tiger direct right now, i might have to jump on that deal.

Those 460's are 192Bit, the best one would be the one with REBATE!

They had a sale for $170 for a 560ti last week at frys.
