the geforce isn't better.

HD7750 is the absolute lowest entry level GPU, its better than the GT630 in so many ways. Also, the 2GB memory of the GT630 will not even be utilized at all so I recommend not even considering it.

What I think you should do: Save up.. it may be tough to wait but I did the same and bought the HD7770 and right now I wish I had gone with a 750ti but it was $20 more expensive and I didn't want to wait. By the time I had gotten the HD7770, the 750ti was at the same price.

Save up and get the 750 low profile or the 750ti but do not make the same mistake I did


im thinking about the 750ti it says 300w PSU which is what i have but its GDDR5 my ram and other components are DDR3 will there be any issues? if not then that will def me what i get! THX FOR ALL THE ADVICE GUYS! really appreciate it!


Yes, the 750ti will work as long as you have a PCI express x16 slot in your motherboard. It doesn't matter if the card is GDDR5 and your RAM is DDR3 cause they're 2 different things.

Make sure to select a best answer to help others out in the future, I'm also glad you're going to save up for a 750ti and not just jump on the 7750. Saved yourself the buyers remorse :) 


any specific brand i should consider? like EVGA ASUS MSI GIGABYTE ETC? also my whole comp is AMD it will work fine with it right? sorry for all the Qs just wanna make sure when i get a new card its perfect no remorse no extra money etc


The only time manufacturers matter is when you have high end cards and you need different types of coolers to cool them down.

Really? that low? Hm. Well get the R7 250/250x. I believe they go for between $80 - $100 right now (MSI has a 250 for $85).


the R7 250 is a HD7750 rebadge, he should just save up and go for a 750/ 750ti and avoid the buyers remorse

these gpu's are low power too and offer 60% more performance


Honestly, it's not worth buying budget GPUs, unless you're not going to be gaming at all and you just want to view media. The newer budget GPUs are becoming slightly more powerful, but honestly the mid-range and high-end are the only cards where you'll get a good performance/price ratio.

Basically he's saying:
Don't get suckered in by higher memory. 2GB on a crap card =/= 1GB on a well designed card. The 7750 is one of the best cards you can get for the price and is a good deal for anyone who's looking for a decent gaming rig. The 7770 is also known as one of the R7 series cards (probably the 260, I don't know exactly which). Get the 7770 or the most expensive R7/R9 series cards you can afford (and don't get anything less than the R7 250/260. The 240 is useless)


the r7 250x is the HD7770 rebadge..
