GTX 560 vs HD 7770

[XaiGRS]

Both $30 which one would be better? 

Don't bother saying save up as my friend don't want to spend more than 30$ (I know)

I'd go with the 560. Not really much you can do with either, perhaps play some half decent counter strike?

The HD 7770 is a bit slower, but it also uses a lot less power than fermi in case your power supply isn't the best.

Doesn't really matter. They perform more or less the same these days, which is to say neither run triple A games from the last 2 years outside of turning everything down to the lowest and seeing what you get. That said 7770 does consume a good amount less power, so if it's an OEM machine he's upgrading that may be worth looking into. If it's a new PC don't get either and just run integrated graphics. Integrated graphics on the 2nd and 3rd gen Ryzen cpus probably perform around that level anyways in modern games just because of the outdated or optimized drivers from both the 7770 and 560. Spend the $30 on a pizza or something.
