Value Gaming Card?

[anfor68]

what would be a value gaming card around $100

resolution of the monitor i have right now is 1650 by 1080

[tp95112]

Amd radeon 7770 is the only card that fits your price point and would run at that resolution with no problem

With only 100 you wont get much. SSave up for mabye a 660Ti

[Wauthar]

$100 should give you a HD7770 or a GTX 650. My recommendation would be the 7770, but if you have some more money to spend, go for a 7850 of a 650 TI BOOST. These would be some nice entry level cards.

Or 7970XT

[anfor68]

here is a list of all the best value graphics cards to performance, choose your budget and purchase acordingly: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_value.html

in my budget/cheaper build.. I used a 660. and it performs  great in all games, even on untra settings on bf3, its playable (however i usually run it on high)

 

For your budget a 550 might be a good option

im using a GTX 660 atm aswell... this is a budget build though so i wasnt expecting much, but given i can play hawken on Ultra at 32 fps and 3x FXAA its a good little runner for a temp

None. There are cards for around $100, but they are not 'value'. When it comes to graphics cards, no matter the generation, value-per-dollar is a curve that peaks in the middle, starting with the lowest card you could feasibly play a new game on high settings with, ending with the top-of-the-line. The less expensive and more expensive are always a worse VALUE. If you want value, you'll almost always be looking in the 175-375 dollar range. Right now, good values start at the HD7790 and Nv 650Ti Boost and end with the HD7970 and Nv 670. Those are good value cards. Anything above that and it's not cost efficient since you will NEVER have a graphics card as long as you'd like, anything below that and you'll just be upgrading again much sooner.

Or 7970XT

I think you mean 7870 XT (Tahiti LE), that's an excellent card, but It's out of his price range I believe.

What I would recommend for 100$ is the 7770, it's a fantastic card for 100$, really is.

If you can save just a bit more , around 180$, you can get a 2GB 7850 one of the best cards in terms of performance for the price.

+1 for a 7770 those things are still really great! 

they run really well with the new drivers, however the next drivers that are coming out are meant to make all the amd series really good although i do think that the driver update is going to be for crossfire stability

[Eros]

7770 all the way :D

The 7870 will do just fine

[anfor68]

so I can get a 7770 now and be satisfied or save some more and get a better card. I see

[Mastermortis]

650 ti for 120 

[Art Vandelay]

7770 is the current best minimal budget card.

[mgsstar]

I would also go for the HIS Radeon HD 7770. Once overclocked it can get pretty close the the GTX 560: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/his_radeon_hd_7770_ghz_edition_review,1.html

650 ti for 120 

[rax313]

If you cannot wait  go 7770, it was recommended by Linus on the live stream as well.

 

but if you can wait I would recommend waiting and save a bit more to a card you can really get some milleage on(1-2 year till next upgrade) =p

[bamerx98]

Go with the 7770

[LessThanSatisfactory]

save up around $60 more dollers and get a 650ti boost, way better. While youre there, just spend another $20 for a 660, which is wayyyyy better.

[Mastermortis]

lol if any one  read my second post there is a 650 ti on sale for 120 before mail and rebate 

[anfor68]

wow... so many recommendations. i have a 550Ti which is not a very good card, but i pulled off about 2 years with it. so i was wondering if 7770 is a worthwhile boost, or as Mastermortis said, get a 650Ti or just wait for the next gen for the prices to go down
