I need a graphic card that would be able to run games well , because im willing to PC Gaming. the one I have at the moment isn't good enough because it only has 64Mb , and I need one with at least 256Mb , ( Graphic card needs requirements below ) . maximum 250$.

Do me a favor and don't get the 570, yeah its got plenty of power but it's a generation old which means it uses a lot more power.

Radeon 7850 is a great choice and the Nvidia 650ti isn't far behind both of those cards are in the ($150-$170 range).

Here is a 650ti that is 16% off for $135 w/ Free shipping.

If you want to go just a bit beefier

Go with a Radeon 7870

 

[samthekiller23]

Thanks for all the quick answers ! But yea , i think i'll go with a radeon 7850 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121704

It's hard to tell from the pictures i've seen of the case. I'm guessing it would fit fine but here are the dimensions of a Radeon 7850 9.49" x 5.39" x 1.67"..... So get out that tape measure.....

Make sure you have 10" from rear panel out, then measure from the PCI-e out to where you side panel is.... make sure you have 5.5".

I'd say i'm 99% sure that you won't have a problem.

 

[ASHISH65]

card will mostly fit.but just measure it what acktionhank has said

I hope you don't actually go off of that horrible comparison chart

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7870-review-benchmark,3148-6.html

There you go. The GTX 570 will get you about a 2-3% boost in performance over a 7850.

The 570 has a max TDP of 220w (amount of heat/wattage) the 7850 has a max TDP of 130w.

So 2-3% boost in performance and only using 60% more power and heat than a 7850........


Just get the Radeon 7850, and if you want more power just get the 7870.

Oh, and these benches are with older drivers, the 7000 series has received a pretty big boost in performance from the latest drivers they've put out.

+1 ^

 

[samthekiller23]

alright , i think i'll go with the 7850 , ill just measure to be sure that it fits. thanks for all the answers guys!

 

[ASHISH65]

please tell your psu info.i think your are using that crap psu that came with your case?

for hd 7850 you need good power supply of atleast 450 -500 w.

 

[samthekiller23]

I'm not sure exactly whats my psu but i haven't changed anything in the computer yet so i probably have the original one.

 

[ASHISH65]

please tell your power supply details.tell +12v ratings on sticker of your psu.also you psu needs 6pin connector.if your psu can"t handle your gpu then your psu will become kaboom and also it might take up gpu with it.

Open your case there is sticker on psu.

 

[samthekiller23]

I opened the case and i found a sticker on the psu and it says :

DC output : 300w
+3.3v
+12.2v
(+3.3v & +5v = 130w Max.)

Your psu is good brand fsp saga.but you need to buy new 450-500 w psu to handle hd 7850.
