captaincracker Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) What would be, in your opinion, the best graphics card for your money? I'm looking to spend around $300-$350 Let me know your opinions please! Computer Specs: Processor: AMD A6-3620 Quad-Core 2.2 GHz Memory: 8gb DDR3 Type: 64-bit Case: Big enough for just about anything so no worries here Fan: 120mm Twister 1800 rpm Edited January 25, 2014 by captaincracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Headband)(EG) Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 you could grab a gtx 770 around that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranHorse Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Can there be a rule for this section that states "Do not post unless you give the proper information" AKA current gpu, cpu, psu, case etc. For all I know you could be wanting to throw a gtx 780 into a single core celeron or have a 200w psu. Sorry for the rant haha just see these a lot on here. Post current pc specs then ill give my opinion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranHorse Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) My mistake! I will post my stats in bit What is the psu and is this a pre built? Also, your apu is going to bottleneck most gpus that are over 180 bucks. Edited January 25, 2014 by BranHorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id do that before a 300 dollar gfx card. Otherwise you are just throttling yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cave Johnson Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Yea I know Didn't think it would be too big of a problem though. Think about it this way, the cpu isnt ESSENTIAL to gaming but it certainly helps to have a good one. When I had to downgrade my cpu to a 2 core athlon all my games dropped at least 10 frames. Your memory is still usable all you need is a better cpu and most likely motherboard. For $300 you can pick up a FX-3100 quad core 3.3ghz cpu and a m5a9x asus mobo with 100 dollars to spare and save to get a decent gfx chip like a radeon 7970 or something. Invest the extra hundred and you can get all three done and the world of difference will be seen. promises. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you mean an FX-4100, if you use that cpu with a 7970 this is all you're gonna get.

(a bottleneck) NOT EVEN CLEVER BRO! and actually I was thinking about the 7870 core editions from xfx for like 187. but you can get a r9 270 for the same price, i would go with that.

Of course these are just suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
