I'm looking for a new budget graphics card

[goldenboy999]

I'm stuck between a regular Powercolor HD 6850, Sapphire 7770 Vapor-X, or a Palit GTX 560(non-TI) OC Ed.

The Powercolor and Sapphire are priced exactly the same (around US $150), while the Palit GTX 560 OC costs just $10 more than the two mentioned above. I'm really tight on my budget so, that's as high as I can go.... I'm thinking of going for the 560 but I'm a bit worried about the temperatures of Palit cards as I've heard many complaining about it..

So what do you guys think?? Oh and I have an i5 2500k and an FSP Aurum 80+ Gold 600w PSU which I'm pretty confident about, so no worries about bottlenecking and power consumption; my monitor atm sucks but in the next month or so I'm planning to get a new one with 1920x1080 res, and I play most modern games so I just want the best bang for my bucks with my GPU. Also in case it matters, my board only has one PCIE 2.0 so will the 7770 Vapor X be optimized on just PCIE 2.0? This is the exact board I currently have http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157251

The 560 is the better card. Which model is it exactly you are looking at ?

Mactronix

Can't afford that^


The only cheap one here is Palit which makes me suspicious of Palit cards ><. Every other GTX 560 non-TI (and those are not OC Ed while the Palit one is OC Ed and is cheaper by a significant amount [$40]) is around $200 or so and I can't stretch my budget(around 160$); it's as far as it goes, and those 3 cards I'm pondering about are the only cards available here that I can afford.....

I just can't afford TI cards, way over my budget. The Palit GTX 560 is OC Ed and is only $10 more than 6850/vapor x 7770, which makes me consider it, I'm just a bit suspicious of the quality since other brands go over $200 with non-TI GTX 560 while this Palit one is OC Ed and is way cheaper

Oh you thought I live in US, and wow that's pretty good but I can't, I live in SEA I just used US currency for prices since it's the most used currency( I think), and those 3 cards are the only ones available here within my budget ><

Have you checked out a 6870 or is that too much where you are? My vote also goes for the 560.

And 6870s go for around $200 here... Otherwise no contest, even I'd go for 6870

 

[chrissymoe]

the Sapphire 7770 Vapor-X is not to bad ether good contender

Nah they don't deliver outside Malaysia and Singapore for most products, and some products they don't deliver at all.
