So I'm in need of a temporary GPU. I want to be able to watch multiple twitch.tv streams on source and not have the video lag. Ill be getting a 280x around February, but i don't have the money for a good GPU now. Any advice?

Why not just use the intergrated graphics on your CPU until then? Don't really see the point of this question.

^This. The HD4600 graphics on your chip are totally fine as a temporary solution.

bare minimum 7770. anything lower than that cant really be considered gaming unless u game at 720p xD

edit, oh its for video. doesnt really matter. why dont u use your integrated graphics for now? it can handle video fine
internet is much more important for Twitch streaming. and recently twitch servers are being ass anyways

Btw are you sure the stream isn't lagging because it's just twitch on source, which almost always lags?

Linus always says, it's not really worth getting a gpu at that price range! Is your i5's integrated graphics not good enough to play twitch at source, without video lag?

really? The HD 7770 is a beast of a card and in crossfire is equal to a 7950 :/

Very possible, i just remember him saying smth like, that it's not worth getting a gpu under like 150$.

 

Still very possible that its a great card tough! :)

 

ps. I would probably just watch at like high quality instead of source to reduce the lag! Just my opinion tough.
