Graphic Card Specs

[thunderfire123]

I'm looking to get a graphics card, what are good specs that will handle most games at a decent resolution and relatively cheap?

What resolution? That plays a huge part...

[Picky Peep]

Please provide more information.

By decent resolution do you mean 2560x1440?

By most games do you mean LoL, Dota and CS:GO or do you mean GTA 5, The Witcher 3 and other AAA titles?

[thunderfire123]

2560x1440 or 1080p. Don't need anything too fancy, gotta keep it within the budget.

What is your budget for the build? or more specifically the card itself?

[BarisERY]

1440p = R9 390

1080 = GTX 960

[thunderfire123]

1440p = R9 390

1080 = GTX 960

I'm looking for specs not individual graphic cards

[thunderfire123]

About 800 after software and parts.

[thunderfire123]

What specs are the most important?

[Oshino Shinobu]

That depends on what it's being used for. It can also be hard to compare graphics cards based on specs alone. You'd need to see benchmarks to actually tell how they'll perform. 

[iamdarkyoshi]

1. Does it work?

2. Type: firepro, quadro, radeon, or nvidia

3. Chip performance/cost

4. Vram

5. Build quality/cooler performance

[Bittenfleax]

How much it costs > FPS

You are looking for specs? Wtf? İt all depends on so many factors that you cant look for specs forexample 970 has less core clock and less shader units than 7970 but beats it by alot even tho on paper 7970 should beat it

If your budget is 800, buy a used card. that said how much of the 800 is for a card?  in reality you wont be gaming at 1440 for 800, unless you got 250 reserved for this card

Why? With $800 you can build a really strong gaming PC with all new parts.

Good build no doubt, but dont forget software is in that amount( and yes i know windows keys can be picked up cheap, i just dont trust em) , and im guessing he already has parts purchased, as he came asking for just a card not a whole build
