Need Advice on HD 6670 vs. GT 430

[rjackowens]

My budget is 100 dollars. My main goal is BF3 on high/ultra settings with decent frame rates. I know both cards are outdated but my budget is really tight and need something better than integrated for gaming.

You wont touch high/ultra on BF3 at that price point. Maybe at 640x480 resolution. Out of those 2 cards, the 6670 is superior, get it with GDDR5.

HD 7750 should about $100. HD 7770 would be a nice step up from HD 7750.

Neither one of those will come close to the settings he wants either.

You will not get to ultra on BF3 with those 2 cards. I had an HD 5850 in the past and even that lagged and could not handle BF3 ultra on 1080p with 64 people in a map with rocket blasts in a metro map.

Here is how BF3 performs on a vast array of cards. $100 will not get you ultra setting unfortunately.

Wait. You have great specs, i7 with latest Z77 mobo. Yet you want to have a $100 GPU?

Ya I know I have a great build but no money for a good graphics card. I kinda thought I would have the money but I don't.

If power and heat are not an issue, then the GTX 480 is a nice buy and a very powerful card. As far as they 560, I would recommend the 560 Ti instead. It's a little more powerful for not much more money.
