which graphics card gives best performance for my money

[spider monkey]

gainward gt 630 2gb ddr3 or sapphire r7 240 2gb ddr3

[TheNinjaNextDor]

Neither.

 

Save your money until you can buy cards that aren't garbage and a waste of your money. Save up like to like $120 and get a 750 or a used card.

Save more till you can buy at least R7 250X, I know how feel bro.

[qwertywarrior]

non try to at least buy an AMD 250x or 260

[Mo5]

260x would be a far better option

[GloriousPain]

Sums it up nicely. Sweet spot graphics cards are in the $100~$200 range, I reccomend 260x, 750ti, 265, 270, 270x, or 760... with the middle being the best price:performance wise 

[P e r s e p h o n e]

While my sentiment is generally along the lines of GloriousPain and TheNinjaNextDor, we don't know your purpose for buying this card yet. It is possible your very specific purpose might be best met by these cards. Of course it's still highly unlikely. Every time I suggest something to a person here I always iterate the same message if saving just for awhile longer will yield better benefits per dollar. In cohesion with that I always ask them to think highly on their purpose and wants.

If your focus is gaming the absolute least i would buy is a R7 260x.

Good choice! Certainly a good card for medium-high settings 1080p gaming and low-medium for heavy games like Battlefield 4 and such.

I have a 7850 (r7 265) 2gb with a little oc and I play BF4 on high 60-80 fps with shadows and fxaa off.

And with a 7870 bios even a little more fps.

Can't you save up 10 more bucks for r9 270?

[hawthorne]

Saave your money and buy a 750ti or a r9 270

You feel lucky, well do ya?   Lots of BTC/Litecoin miners are dumping their cards on ebay right now, since GPU mining isn't really worthwhile anymore, and you can find decent cards for 50% of retail if you're willing to gamble a little. For instance, a Gigabyte Windforce 280x for $185, or 270 for $105, is tough to beat. They might not last as long as a new card, mining can take its toll on them, but you'll still likely get 4-5 years of use out of it.
