[anton12350]

This is my current computer gonna be upgrading soon but this graphics card will probably be for both computers, i was wondering which card is better for me http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5598652&CatId=7387 or http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2042280&CatId=7387 ?
My current computers specs:
Ram = 4GB DDR3
Graphic Card Support = PCIe
Monitor resolution = 1920x1080
Os = Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition (build 7600), 64-bit
CPU = AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 635 Processor
Cpu Speed = 2.9 GHz
Power supply = 300w

Defiantly this one

it cost less and has more VRAM than the other card
Also MSI is a good brand, so is sapphire so you cant really go wrong

Of the 2 cards, I would say the Sapphire one as the other one(MSI) has GDDR3 vs GDDR5(Faster!) Unless it is a typo, that is why it cost less.

I dident even notice GDDR3 if thats the case go GDDR5 one

or if you can stretch the 7750 with 2GB and GDDR5

Yeah - but at $120 he prob should consider 7770 as they're are some at Newegg between
$100 & $112

as long as the 300 watt power supply is a good one.

True!

 

[bigshootr8]

no I agree it puts you near a 7770 but neither of those cards are 2 gigabyte cards.

 

[nukemaster]

How often does a mid end card have the power to use 2gigabytes of memory? Skyrim high rez pack would be about it.
I remember seeing geforce FX 5200's with 256megabytes of ram. Not that they could ever use it.

 

[bigshootr8]

bf3 uses around 1.5 for me. there are games that are ram intensive.

 

[bigshootr8]

gta4 as well.

 

[nukemaster]

At those settings how would a 7750 cope?

I mean a 7770 will fall well under 30 fps at full settings at 1920 x 1080 so you will need to turn down the settings quite a bit and then video ram does not help.

If you start to push over that screen resolution then yes.

System ram is another beast all together.

Since i do not know of any reviews of the 2gb gddr5 7750's here is something with a bit more power.

I am not trying be an ass or anything, I just do not think mid level cards with lots of vram are at all worth the cost.

Truly depends. I mean if you don't have the funds to buy your 7850.7950 or 7970 with more then 1 gig of ram surely when you run into a game with more then 1 gig of ram usage you will hit a brick wall. However at the same time you won't be getting higher then high in some areas and medium in most with a 7750.
