New GPU

[Alex Kiss]

Hey there, my friend is so hyped around the reboot of Thief, but his hardware doesn't really fit the requirements, can you help him / us out by selecting a new graphics card? He doesn't want anything fancy like G-Sync, Mantle or even 3D, just a card that can handle Thief, and priced reasonably. (So please don't suggest Titan )

 

His current specs:

 

AMD Phenom II X2 555 Processor (3.20 GHz)

 

(Radeon HD 4600 series, he's not able to find the exact model)

 

8 GBs of RAM.

 

(I presume his motherboard supports PCI-E)

 

Thanks

750ti is the best price to performance card out there and only costs $150, If he does have a psu over 400w though a 760 wouldn't be a bad choice either.

^ 750 ti looks sweet

probably a 260x or 270 because he wants theif and it will use mantle so my recomendation for just theif would be one of those two.

270?

[Alex Kiss]

Wow, quick ones, thanks!

With the GTX 750 Ti he will have a decent experience. You can even run this GPU with a low end PSU (no 6 pin connector needed).

Or a R7 260X  / R9 270 will be a good choice.

 

A budget, monitor resolution and PSU information would be nice.

[Alex Kiss]

Well, he said his budget is around $ 100-125, his resolution is 1920x1080 and his PSU... Well, he's one lazy mofo, he won't remove the side panel...

[Alex Kiss]

For him it doesn't even matter if it's nVidia or ATI, he doesn't know a thing, not Mantle

[Alex Kiss]

Oh, turns out he has a Macron PSU, I guess it's not the top of the line.

in that case try getting a 7770/7790/260x

With a phenom 2 dual core everything will be VERY bottlenecked. I have a phenom 1 quad core which is just as bad. A 7770 is the highest card I would reccomend.
