Nvidia Cards Under 180$

[reapersivan]

Hello I need help in finding a gpu under 180$ that perform well on Battlefield 4. I am new to PCs and I need help, I well be running a budhet pc under 500$, an Amd fx8320 3.5 ghz 8core cpu. This computer is mainly for GAMING. I will have 8gb of Crucial Ballistix ram. I need a card that stays cool, and performs good in demanding games. If anyone could recommend a card and perhaps include benchmarks? I want a card that will last me a couple years.

750 ti

750ti and maybe a 760 on a good sale. The 750ti will give you a solid 60fps locked at high settings. The 750ti is a great card for gaming when not aiming to max everything out. The card is maxwell so it stays as cool of a card as ANY card will EVER be on the market right now. Just type 750ti into youtube, you will get a mass of reviews for it.

 

hardware canucks reviews are my go to for written reviews. http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/65440-gtx-750-ti-review-maxwell-arrives.html

$180? For $240 you can get an R9 290 which violates a 750Ti in every possible way. Originally a $500 card and very high end while the 750Ti is entry level. Spend the extra $60 and get a card with some power.

760 is below $200 in most cases now.

It violates it in a way that is not safe for work.

There really aren't any Nvidia cards south of the GTX 970 that I would recommend, with the only exception being the 750 Ti only if you needed an ultra low-power card for some reason. AMD offers a better price/performance value at every price segment up to about $300.

I mostly want to play demanding games like Battlefield 4 at 60 or more frames on high. I want a good first pc build.

You should be able to find a Radeon R9 280 for around $180-200. Battlefield 4 is sponsored by AMD, so their hardware actually gets a bit of a boost there over Nvidia's equivalents. The R9 280 should manage 60 FPS at 1080p and high/near-max details.

Edited. Sapphire is cheaper and prob a better brand than the XFX. Sapphire makes some very good AMD cards.

 

Get that. $164.99 and Mantle will help the CPU you have on BF4. Will perform as well or better than a GTX 760 that is quite a bit more, has 3 GB VRAM and helps the CPU you have quite a bit in BF4.

 

Card should last you the entire "next gen" at 1080p with higher than console settings. Has the VRAM for bad ports and is quite a bit more powerful than PS4.

 

Nvidia shouldn't really be considered atm until a GTX 970 or as an upgrade to a Dell with a crappy power supply that can't be replaced, where the 750ti can be a good option. Add to this Battlefront will be Mantle. All upcoming Battlefields will be Mantle.

If you are in the USA the R9 290 is the ultimate bang for your buck. Period. In Canada you're a little screwed and have to go for the 970, a better card, but also more expensive.

R9 280 for that price. You can use mantle, which will net you a substantial gain in fps with a budget cpu.

Amd owns the sub 300 dollar gpu segment. I wouldn't touch an Nvidia card if you are on a tight budget or you cant splurge for a 970.

You can also get an xfx 280x for under 200 right now. Not sure how good xfx is but the 280x gives a little bump up over a 280.
