Recommendation for a friend

[Resident]

Ok. I need you guys to help me out.

A mate of mine is looking for a new GFX card but he's got a few conditions:

1. Must support 2 monitors (DVI) and have HDMI
2. PCI-E
3. AMD processor (preferred, not essential)
3. (and the bit you're gonna hate me for) sub £130.


Would this do the job?

Or sticking with a 7770 and in the other direction cost wise

extra yr warranty too

 

[OvEr_KiLL]

nope i would still go for the msi one above

Why would you ever choose a 7770 over a 7850 ???

 

[eddyr]

True. Just noticed the middle price was the offer inc VAT. After so many yrs of sites showing excl VAT price nice and bold, I auto ignore and look straight for the hidden higher value! They should cross it out like on the list page for the inattentive!

Ahh fair enough

Unfortunately that doesn't have 2 DVI sockets (unless I'm missing something)

No its got a HDMI and 2 DP's and 1 DVI.

Ask if the card comes with a converter or buy one.
