Hey guys,
There is currently a listing for the Gainward GTX 650 2GB card for $135 (Brand new), compared to the Gigabyte ones which run up to 185 to 200 dollars.

I'm planning on using this card for light 3DS max work and BF3, i will be running this on a full HD 23' display and am wondering how it will perform with my system:

AMD Phenom II X4 B50 3.10ghz
4GB 800MHZ DDR2
x3 WD 500GB Sata II (no raid config)
OCZ 650 Watt PSU

Any advice is appreciated, Cheers.

I would recommend the 7770 over the regular 650.

Agreed. There's even some OCing headroom in the 7770.

yup for 1080p a 650 will not cut it in BF3 if you want to play on high settings.
7770 is the way to go

Really? I thought that extra gig would make it atleast a bit more superior to the 7770.

Err... nope... The GPU is not good enough to utilize all those VRAMs.

Makes sense, if i were to buy a 7770 would i get decent fps on high on a hd monitor?

I'm thinking about skipping buying an ssd and go for a higher end card:

http://au.msi.com/product/vga/R7850-Twin-Frozr-2GD5-OC....

$235

I went for this specific brand due to my case being limited in space, and this only being about 0.5" longer than my current card (5750) and would fit without interfering with the HDDs.

Can anyone vouch for this card or should i go for something in the 6XX series from nVidia?
