Need a GPU.

[stardust2280]

So I have all these things:

800w PSU

i7 920

18gb ram.

this MB:http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=56371&vpn=GA-X58-USB3&manufacture=Gigabyte

And I need a GPU less than or equal to $80 that will play skyrim on medium, and I play alot of strategy games, older ones. Just the best you can do. I cant go any higher. I dont want to get a new CPU-PSU-Ram.

Thanks.

wat abouy this?

Your system can handle just about any graphic card you can afford to buy. But if $80 is your limit, I'd recommend something in the HD 6750 catagory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600100181%20600083901%20600150231&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20HD%206750

If you can raise your budget a bit, move up to the HD 7750: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600100181%20600286767%20600298541&IsNodeId=1&name=Radeon%20HD%207750

What resolution do you game at? The above cards will be good for med/high settings up to 1680x1050 resolution with modern games. You can stretch that to max settings and maybe even higher resolution if your gaming is strictly older strategy games.

yup the 6670 should do it about 60$

Yes all of these are slightly over budget but this is the lowest I'd recommend.
6670 (GDDR5, you don't want the DDR3 version at all)

6750

6770

or

I'd highly recommend saving up more than that and getting a 7770 as the minimum though.

[andrewcarr]

Took me too long to post :/ But I'd stay away from the 7750 since you can get the faster 6770 for a similar price and your PSU will have no trouble with it.

 

[andrewcarr]

The 7750 will be better over the 6670. I only listed the 6670 there because after rebates it would be cheaper.

 

[stardust2280]

Getting confused here.... ok...

So far, its between: 6670 and 6750?

 

[stardust2280]

I cant go above $100 period.

Whichever of these you can afford is best then.

The 6770 is slightly better than the 6750. If you can't afford either of those then this one is best.

[andrewcarr]

I don't recommend the other (cheaper) 6750 due to the DDR3 memory.
