Hey guys, i'm selling my GTX 770 and using the money to buy an xbox one as Forza franchise isn't on PC. Anyway, i have $100 aud tops, and play most AAA titles, anyone know a good card that could be used temporarily until my birthday on September 25? If it can do medium settings 60~/+ FPS that would be good and better still if i could play ultra. Anyway, what's a good card i could find used around that price? I was thinking that something around the GTX 2-6 series or AMD HD series could be a good temporary card?
Suggestions?

You really shouldn't get too hyped about Forza...

 

Their DLC Packs are just scams and theres lots of it.

 

But a good card would be 750 or a 7750

The 750 is not under or around 100$. It's at the least almost 150$ (rarely)

 

The R7 250X is the best you're going to do. I can't emphasize more though saving 50 bucks more and getting a 260X. Huge amounts of performance increase compared the the 250X which will barely do any sort of gaming @ 1080p. You'll have to lower your res to 720P to get any sort of manageable fps out of the 250X :l

Been wanting an xbox one anyway, and i love forza games.

 

thanks, but could you recommend some older high performace cards i could possibly find for under $100?

Aus is a tough cont. to find parts for. For some reason it seems to be harder to get some tech there than in singapore xD makes no sense right?

 

If you can find one in local resellers the 5850 is getting pretty old and will kick serious butt against the 250X
