I really dont care if its amd or nvidia as long as it performs i just want to be able to buy a sub 200 dollar card play hawken, crysis 2&3 and lots of indie games I prefer AMD but like i said dont care but the one thing i do care about IT MUST BE A BLOWER STYLE CARD! or have an aftermarket option i dont mind spending an extra 50 bucks to get one and put it on my self but i need a blower style card.

1. they look cool

2. I need it because its going in a m-atx case with horrid air flow.

sugestions??? i looked at an alaska neo and another blower cooler but they only specified it working with up to radeon hd 4890 at the newest :(

For a blower style card, you can either step down to a 750ti for 160 bucks or spend 20 more with a 760.

760: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127744

Look for a R9 270X or 270. The 270X is overall only around 6% slower than the 760 (according to Anandtech). If you go for the 270 and overclock it, you will save up to $60 (yes, $60) over a blower design GTX 760 and have a very little performance gap between the two.

 


EDIT: Ignore that. I did not see you needed a blower design card.
