Cheaper and better than GTS 450?

[ModernKamikaze]

$100-$120 GPU?


Hello Forumers.


Currently I am thinking of GTS 450, but since I saw how powerful and less costly GTS 250 is, but no DX11, I want to see if there are other GPU's more worth than a GTS 450 BUT with DX11( I just want DX11 lol).

Can you guys give me cheaper , powerful than GTS 450 w/DX11? ($100-120)

Also Radeon Cards are okay, but I seriously am more fine with Nvidia
but you guys can show me a list of Radeon and Nvidia GPUs.

Thanks for the help guys!
Also this is what I am getting:

i3-2100
4gb RAM
Asrock H61M-DGS
Antec VP-450

with a 7750 and a 250 watt PSU you could hit up to 86% load which CAN cause a failure on a less than desirable PSU.

granted the test set up was a AMD A8-3850 (100 watts-35watts less than a i3-2100) but why risk it?

please get the EA-380D, you will have options down the road.

Aha - but quality over quantity, my friend. Your current PSU probably would only output 180w at most, and the 450w Antec should output about as much as it says, but it would be less efficient, and would have to work a bit harder than the EA-380D to supply the power to your components.

Also, the fan is on the bottom of that PSU, doing nothing to cool it in your case. It would just suck in and recirculate hot air. The EA-380D is a great PSU, recommended by most budget builders.

Thanks guys for helping me a lot !
One last thing, when I turn on my upgraded computer the first time, do I just have to to put the Win 7 CD in, and install?

I don't see the HD 7750 on that chart - it would match the HD 6570 - both have a TDP of 55w. And depending on how old that HP is, I wouldn't try either card...

just for theotrical data look here you can see here http://www.hwcompare.com/11736/radeon-hd-6570-oem-1gb-vs-radeon-hd-7750/ and now you will get that 7750 consumes more power.

go for aradeon card nvidia always releases buggy drivers for previous gen cards (i.e 8000,9000,200 series) and customer support is crappy!
