What card to get ?

[Tonydb]

Hey guys and gals

My Rig:

MSI NVIDIA GT430 730MHz 1334MHz 2048MB 128-bit DDR3
AMD FX 4100 quad core
8 Gig Ram
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
500w corsair psu
ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 mobo

Now while this proberly dosnt seem that great to some of the hardcore builders it almost does the job I want except for lagging on some games such as bioshock infinite , Witcher 2 and some on ghosts COD.Now im thinking?hoping and upgrade in the graphics card should help with this? *Forgot to add Witcher is almost unplayable and I also have black flag which is unbearably laggy!

I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer but I do enjoy playing on my desktop rather than an xbox etc.I only want to spend £60-£75 and was thinking about

I'd go for a second hand hd 7750 from eBay or failing that a 560ti. That 4gb buffer though (hehe)

What ever you decide to get just make sure it has 2Gb of VRAM.

A 270 would be ideal.

 

[Tonydb]

hi thnx for the replies.

Sorry im not completely up with the lingo

Vram is that the same and the memory on the cards,for example my gt 430 has 2048 ?

Sapphire 11202-13-20G AMD Radeon HD 7750

Seen this one elsewhere guys for less than £50, seem any good to you?

The 7750 - does that one come with GDDR5 memory?

 

[Tonydb]

ive got it from a well known auction site and this particular one is ddr3

Whilst the 7750 would be a substantial jump from the GT430 I'd say if you could hold off to save a tad more and grab a 270, that will last you a lot longer than a 7750 will.

Whilst this is £135 which is ~60 quid over your budget, this card is exceptional bang for buck, moreso than the 7750.

yea I was thinking of saving a tad more and going bigger ,but ive got a few games that the 7750 will allow me to play and ive pre ordered thief also so I want it in the machine for that ..Thanks anyways !!

6950/6970 have been going for around 60-70 quid recently if you could pick-up one of those would be a massive jump over your current card and a 7750. I also recently picked up a 7850 for £70 which would be a cracking upgrade admittedly this was from the MM so you might not get so lucky else where.

Also keep an eye on the b-grade section http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?catid=683&groupid=595&sortby=priceAsc as you can pick up so good bargains their.
