GTX 550Ti OR HD 7750 OR HD 6770

[rickytrux11]

System Specs:
Pentium Dual Core E5700 @3.00GHz
4 GB DDR3 RAM
PSU: Corsair CX430 V2

Resolution: 1024 * 768

I will be playing all games Maxed Out or with reduced AA just at 1024*768. I just cant select the best card among the 3. I dont care for power, cause all of the 3 card will run fine on my PSU. I just want a card which will be more future proof and which can get me the best FPS.

Help guys!

GTX 550Ti is an amazing budget card. You won't need anything more at that resolution. It's capable of running everything on high on my old pc which is @ 1680x1050. Have fun!

I'd get HD 7750. They all have very similar performance, and HD 7750 can overclock best of them all plus it's cooler than both other cards. Unless you want PhysX, of course.

 

[geekapproved]

I'd suggest buying a new monitor first. 1024x768? Really?

I can't imagine any kind of gaming experience on that.

 

[Sunius]

To be honest, I agree with geekapproved. Wasn't sure you were going to afford it though.

Is this one i.e MSI HD 7750 OC better than either of the three?

I will get a 1600x900 after a couple of months...but I will get a new GPU first.

Yes, it's a good card. What's your budget? Maybe you can even afford HD 7770?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131477

It's much faster than either of them.

I don't think it's a good idea to get the 7750. I vote for either the 550 Ti or the 6770. Here's why:

5770~6770.

Read through the entire thing.

Or, if your budget allows, the 7770 as Sunius says.

I dont thing a HD 7770 is worth for money, if i could extend my budget i will get a HD 6850 rather.

BTW, wont a HD 7750 OC play any game maxed out at 1024*768?

I think BF 3 is a nVidia oriented game it runs better in nVidia cards.

But if you compare GTX 550 Ti with HD 7750 in Crysis 2 you see a different winner, have a look:

It's worth going for HD 7770, it's better than HD 6850. And HD 7750 will not max all games. Just most of them.

HD 7750 performs on par with both 6770/550 Ti. And it's cheaper.

I was wrong , the HD 7770 is better than HD 6850. But unforunately my budget is only around $120.

This card is $120:

Is Power Color a good brand? BTW it may sound weird to you guys but i care a bit for warranty and this card only has 2 years.

And HD 7770 seems to get beaten by HD 6850 here:

I asked you to go through the entire thing, not just BF3. The crysis 2 benchmark on the next page paints a very different picture of things than the techpowerup review, so i'm not sure what's up.

And how did you guys end up thinking that a 7750 beats a 6850?
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/539?vs=614

Probably the GHz edition does better, i guess. I seriously don't think it'll still beat a 6850, maybe equal it then. That techpowerup review seems to be incorrect/exaggerated. Or maybe if you consider Crysis 2's DX11 mode only.

HEY! It WAS HD 7770 against HD 6850!

Hmmm...though the frame rates for the other cards are consistent with Tom's DX11 bench (because techpowerup was doing it in DX11 mode)...but it's just those two cards that seem abnormally high. Maybe they used different drivers, clocks, etc.

Yep...may be...

 

[odiervr]

550 ti for your original question. Though all three have very similar performance.

However, you mentioned a new monitor in a couple months. Therefore, I would strongly suggest an HD 6850 (msi pe/oc specifically). While there are many different benchmarks and games that each GPU will differ in, the 6850 is rock solid at your future resolution (1600 x 900).
