What Is The Best Gaming Graphics Card under £100? [November Update]

I have a new computer but my graphics card is not the best, I need a GPU that will be able to handle games like Call Of Duty and others like that, so what is the best GPU at a maximum price of £100. I need something that will give me best results and something that is new. These are the current computer specs:

AMD FX 4100 3.8ghz
Corsiar 8GB Ram
700W Power Supply
Current GPU- Ati redeon x1950

Please help me out with the best GPU in my price

I take it its pci express, as i have that card in my old pc and it was agp.

Assuming it is pci-e

For £100 i'd go for any of these...

Please tell me if there is any extra info you need to no, also i have a 64 bit window 7

The best 7770, significantly better than the stock 7770. I'm also fairly certain it defeats the 550ti, as its pretty much equal to a 650ti, which defeats the 550ti.

Remember this 7770 is like 15% better than a stock one, so account that into benchmarks.

Its also a sexy, quiet cooler, and looks so good in that nice white.

Which one out of those would you say is the best because ive been looking at the HD 7750 range of cards? I just need one card which is good, could you link me to one card which you would say is a good one for the money and new

I will keep your card in mind, it looks like a very nice card, but it is £12 over but im sure I can stretch it a bit, will it be able to play games like call of duty black ops 2, and other big games

 

[JJ1217]

The 7770 is definitely the best out of my and gambin0's suggestion.

 

[JJ1217]

What resolution are you planning to play at? Max settings? What framerates are you looking for?

This is what I'm assuming a stock 7770 in black ops 2 playing very acceptable frame rates with quite high settings. Not to mention AA impacts performance alot at barely any visual improvement. The vapor x version is around 15% better than stock.

 

[dheeraj9933]

hey, u should buy a used card, that way u'll be care free!!
i found some cards on ebay uk, do u want links?
used cards are not bad, they perform the same!!

I want to be playing at max settings and at most fps I can get for my budget gpu, there are other gpu such as the hd 7750, and some of those cards have better specs then this one, But I really dont no what is good or not. soo .... Is there a good one under £100

I realise a budget is a budget but I would feel bad if I didn't point out that you can get a 6870 for 110 from e buyer.
£10 over budget but 20% faster than a 7770.
You might even find one at your budget if you shop around a bit.

Do you think you could link me to that one, and also how do I know what is a good card and what is not, because different people are saying to get different ones which confuses me even more

just no point in having that attitude,
u can get a midrange graphics card which will easily give u 30+fps in all games in 1080p
on MAX settings,
or u can get a 7770 which is considered a bit over low end.
nothing wrong or embarrassing in using a previously owned graphics card and u are discussing between
7770 7750 or 550ti
7850 is better than ALL of them, a lot better

 

[mrgchimp]

And I should also say I want something that is not so loud

No its not that Im embarrased or anyrthing and to be fair I dont mind buying that one, but I want to buy a new one because I want my build to have all new parts in it

Sorry should have done that

This 7770 review page shows a stock 7770 and a factory over-clocked 7770 as well as many other cards. The 6870 is on the chart as well. You can use this review to see how the cards perform against each other in many games at many resolutions.

Arghhh this is really confusing me because the one you showed me only has 7/10 rating but some of the other series as I said of the hd7750 I think have some better ratings is there a site to compare or to just show all the best ones for that price#?

That is something that I was looking for, is there something like that but a bit better but under £100, so something even better

 

[Sunius]

That is the best card under 100 pounds. You won't find anything better.

Ok well will this be able to cope with some big games like BF3, Call Of Duty Black Ops 2

And will my psu be able to cope with it?
