Help me pick a GPU

[slimfit]

I'm sorry if I post to the wrong section.

 

I want to buy a new GPU, and I have no experience about GPU. I need help, please help me.

 

My budget $300

Priority : low power consumption, low temperature, performance, stable (last long :D).

I don't care which brand it is.

Thanks a lot!

Not sure what you mean by low power consumption though.

 

What are the rest of your system's specs?

heya,

I want to buy a new GPU, and I have no experience about GPU. I need help, please help me.

Priority : low power consumption, low temperature, performance, stable (last long  :D).

 

 

 

If you want a low power and low temp GPU, I would recommend the nVidia gtx 760. In that price range, it would be the best bang for buck, money  ^_^

 

7950 would be  great competitor, but the heat output will be a little higher than the 760. The acoustics will be a little higher than the 760, also.

 

Hope this helps,

If you don't care about getting a used one see if you can snag a 680 or a 7970. 

 

If you want a new card you are looking at 7950, 670, 760, or maybe you can find a 7970 I am not sure where you live or the currency.

The HD 7950 is your best bet, it consumes significantly less power than the GTX 760, it's got 3GB of VRAM as opposed to 2GB on the 760, it overclocks significantly better and you get better anti aliasing performance.

It has 3GB of VRAM on a 384bit interface instead of 2GB on a 256bit interface which gives it a very sharp edge even over the 670 which is more powerful than the 760.
Anti aliasing is the graphics setting that removes jagged edges.

gtx 680 used $320 worth to buy?

If it's the 4GB version then yes, if it's the 2GB version then no, 2GB won't last you long enough, the XBOX allocates 5GB of the 8 GB of VRAM only for the GPU and the PS4 allocates even more, so GPU memory requirements will go dramatically up within the next year.
