Looking to upgrade my GTX 560ti. What do i get for under $400? As new Graphics Cards are being announced I feel that it is time for me to upgrade. Currently my 560ti can play everything smoothly but i have to play on low-medium settings. My processor is a i5-3570k and i feel that being quipped with a 560ti is just holding back the true power of my computer. What card could I get for under $400 that allows me to play everything 60FPS while playing on High-Ultra settings?

 

Any and All recommendations are helpful. Thanks!

a HD7950 is in that price bracket, you might be able to find a 7970 around 400$, which probably is the best choice in that price segment.

The 770 is around 450$ if I am not mistaken, and can be beat by a 7970 so I'd go with a 7950 or 7970 depending on the prices ^^

 

Games like Metro Last Light you won't be able to play at a constant 60FPS on ultra, not even the Titan gets that high ^^

You can get a 660 Ti, 7870, 7950. Both AMD cards come with games and they also tend to perform better than NVIDIA counterparts.

I would highly recommend a 7950, excellent custom designed models are around 310-330$ .

 

The 7950 is an amazing over-clocker & can match or even outperform a 770/680 once overclocked.

You also get 4 games for free with the card : Crysis 3 , Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Bioshock Infinite & Tomb Raider.

 

That 3GB frame buffer can come in handy if you like to mod your games for extra eye candy like Skyrim & Fallout 3.

 

These are the three 7950s that I regularly recommend : HIS IceQ X2 , Sapphire Dual-X & MSI Twinfrozr III .

My build : Glamor Shot.  Intel & AMD, Architectural Discussion.

Wait for 8000 series. And see what is available.

 

Otherwise, get a 7950

well the 770 does come under if you are in the US but here in aus its a minimum of $460 plus postage so it will depend on the region but i would still go for the 7950 and you get games and save money

I'd say a 7950 3GB OC model, or if you can wait, see if the 770 price drops within a few months or get a 760 ti when it releases, if you prefer nVidia.

7950 looks so apetizing plus you can keep about 100 $ for something else :)

There's an XFX 7970 on for around $359.99 last time I checked...and it comes with the never settle bundle - I have a 660Ti so you know I'm not a fanboy.
