Hi, the best bang for buck graphics card that will allow you to max out nearly any current game @1080 i would say is the AMD HD 7850 you can have a look at this one, It's worth spending a bit more and will last you a lot longer than the one you want to buy.

The HD 7770 is the best card for budget conscious buyers such as yourself

Also you can have a look at this article which could be very help full

You should also consider upgrading your cpu, wait for AMD's steamroller out next year, assuming you have a AM3+ socket motherboard

i have sapphire oc 1gb vapor x edition 7770 an it runs most games on high settings, such as SWTOR. If you want the safer option id recommend the Nvidia GTX 550 Ti though, just based on my experience my brother has had his Nvidia GTX 550 Ti forever and its never had an issue and works great on most games, my graphics card only seems to be very very very slightly better than his and Amd Catalyst with drivers is anoyying at times for games, just from my brothers experience i recommend the Nvidia 550 Ti, under £90 from amazon.

Don't Go for the 7770! I just found out what my problem is, my graphics card! I got the 'NEW' Sapphire Vapor-x OC 1 GB 7770 Version in October 2012, now mine is already faulty not even used for 6 months yet, go for nvidia, amd r unreliable, my brothers nvidia 550 ti has lasted him for like 2 years now with no troubles at all!

I ran a 5770 for two years and I'm running a 2 year old 5870 now. Neither has had any trouble. I will say that the 5870 is a Sapphire and I have to down clock the memory a hair though for stability. So if you are looking to draw any conclussions about reliability I would say Sapphire may be iffy but it's not any failure of AMD's. These are not reference design cards so you can't blame AMD for it.

isnt sapphire supposed to be one of the good amd card brands though?



Ya, from what I hear. But like any brand I guess, you can always get a bad one. I would probably buy another Sapphire but I personally thought my HIS was a nicer card. The Sapphire hasn't impressed me but other than the one issue I guess I can't complain.

My point was that you can't throw AMD under the bus for a product they didn't actually make.
