Best New Graphics Card Around $150-$200?

Guest

Hey guys!

I'm looking to upgrade from Intel Integrated Graphics and I'd like to only spend around $150-$200 CAD.

I'd prefer the graphics card to be new and I'd like it to be able to run games like Skyrim at 1080p. Or is 1080p to much to ask of for this price-point?

What are your suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

R9 280, you can find one for $190

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel

Actually with the conversion to the Canadian dollar they're perfectly priced.

If you can find a R9 270 on clearance or even a R9 280, those would be great ( or a GTX 760/770 )

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.

The brand really doesn't matter. It should work fine.

It performs just like the R9 285, which performs similarly to the 280. Definitely not worth the $100 more. Also out of the OP's budget.

100 $ more? What are you talking about? Theyre all in the 200 dollar range...
