Which gpu should i get?

[david cassar]

I have been looking for a card to get in my build and i have recently come across a used Msi hawk gtx 460 which costs 80 euro. The gpu is in very good condition and undamaged. The seller also said that price can be negotiated for a lower price. Should i get the gtx 460 or spend 18-28 euro more on an hd 7770. Also i live in europe so pls no newegg links ;)

I'd go for the 7770. Though I'd save up another 100€ and get something like a GTX 660. Or at least GTX 650 Ti Boost which is 155€.

I would definitely recommend HD7770

Get the 7770. Great overclocker and can run modern games at ultra settings around 30-35 fps, however I would recommend hitting first the 55-60 fps mark and then increase the quality. Also one more you can do is wait for Nvidia's lower end cards to hit the market or AMD's answer if there is one soon.

Hope it helped.

Is it worth the extra 20 euro?

Is it worth the extra 20 euro?

In my opinion,it does.With newer game currently optimize for amd gpu,it will keep getting better and better than a 3 generation behind gpu.

Also i will be overclocking. Is the gtx 460 a better overclocker ?

As Stav Kats says HD 7770 is better overclocker than 460. 460 is comparable to 650, and 7770 beats it in every test.

I have seen reviews where the gtx 460 is either beating or is very similar in performance with a hd 7770 :(

u must been seeing older reviews because since 13.1 driver comes out,amd card gain lots of performance.
