I need help between two decisions

[Speirs]

So i currently run a A8 7650k rig overclocked to 4GHZ on integrated graphics, so im looking for a dedicated graphics card, the problem is im not sure what way to go

 

Option 1: Get an R7 250 for roughly $75 and run it in duel graphics mode along side the APU

 

Option 2: Get a GTX 750 TI for about $115 and run it as a single card

 

What would you suggest is the better option for the money?

It is common knowledge that the best bang for the buck is in the $200-250 range. Any less and you are paying too much $$/performance. I leave everyone else to make more specific recommendations. I do like my 4GB GTX 960 though.

 

Were I buying a card today, RX 480 would be the only logical choice.

I'd wait for the RX 460, It'll outperform both at the same/similar price.

^ Yes, wait for the RX 460

So what are you using it for? Are you on an 8K DSR 8x MSAA Ultra textured Extreme tessellation with ambient occlusion enabled on a quad monitor 165 HZ setup? or a 720p panel running minecraft?

Ill just be running light titles for most part at 1080p lol, maybe stream to twitch etc, but if i can step up to new AAA releases sure

Grab a r7 370 if you want to run 2 crossfire

[magnumkobra]

no crossfire, wait for 460/470 crossfire is kind of haywire right now.

R7 250 won't do you much good, that 950 however will suit your current needs very well. You can always wait for those 460/470s to come out, but theirs no guarantee where they will be on the price to performance scale.

RX 460 comes out 8 August, I believe (don't quote me on this), and will outperform both. However, if you already have an A10-78x0K processor, an R7 250 would be my recommendation to you. Make sure you buy a DDR3 version, as GDDR5 will not work in dual graphics.

2GB of VRAM is not enough for modern games. I'd say that 3.5GB or more is my recommendation for 1080p ultra.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I think im definitely gonna wait for RX 480

 

thank you all
