Best budget GPU for BF4.

[Frenzyy]

Hi, I'm building a budget pc for somebody and I just wanted to know your opinion on gpus that would suit this description best.

Currently I was thinking about these four but if you have any other suggestions then by all means share them.

nvidia:

750ti 

660

 

amd:

hd7850

r7 260x

 

Also, what psu would be enough for a x4 860k and one of those gpus?

Thanks.

I'd say try to save up for a GTX 950 or a GTX 960 if you can. It's not that much more expensive. 

[Tetters]

960 will play it, maxed out, at between 50 and 70 FPS

Lol go for the R9 380 instead.

You wanna fight? Fight me bro. 1v1.

 

Lol jk. The R9 380 is a good choice too if you're more for the AMD Team

I'm an intel+nvidia guy (i5 and gtx 970) but like I said, it's not for me and that pc is supposed to run on low, maybe med therefore by looking at the benchmarks, the 960 will be overkill anyway for such build. And I forgot to mention, it will be played at 1366x760 which is also why 960 is not needed. 

Anybody changed their mind now?

Thanks for the inputs and remember about the psu please. ;d

I mean, if you don't mind used, you could find a used 7950 for $90ish bucks?

[Frenzyy]

Once again, I do mind used for myself but because it's not for me, it should be ok. 

However, I can't seem to find one that would be worth it- http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xamd+7950.TRS0&_nkw=amd+7950&_sacat=0

And yes, I live in UK. Sorry, forgot to mention that as well.

Eh, I usually look on craigslist. Even so, there should be a few going on bidding for around $90. Just an fyi, im talking in usd.

That's fine but since it seems to be quite hard to get, what other options do I have? Or if none other than from what I mentioned, which one should I go with?

Thanks.

From the ones you mentioned, the 7850.

[don_svetlio]

from the listed the 7850 => 660 > 750 Ti = 260X

[Gibs960]

Don't make the mistake I made when buying a GPU. I bought an R7 260x and tbh, I'm not particularly happy with its performance, yes it's OK but I wish that I'd saved just a little bit more money and got something like an R9 380 which will give a lot better performance and will mean that you're not upgrading sooner rather than later.

 

Try to think long term instead of short term

[Frenzyy]

I always try to think long term. Hopefully that 970 is going to last me a couple of years. Just like the 560ti did before that.

The thing with this one is that the person who I'm building the pc for doesn't really play much, only from time to time and as long as they will be able to get acceptable frame rates while playing e.g. bf4 from time to time (lowest settings 1366x760), I'm fine with that. 

I'll try to get the hd 8750 or the 660 then, unless there are other options NOT from the list mentioned?

Thanks.
