[sanfranla49]

so Im stuck which should I get the asus gtx 660 2 gb or the radeon 7770 2 gb all responses are appreciated thanks

What is your budget ?

I would choose the GTX 660.

I suggest the GTX 660 over the 7770, it's a slight bit more powerful. If you were to step up to something like the 7850 then I would take that over the 660. On your budget go with the 660!

Every card manufacturer will work with every board. The brand of the card is matter of preference, but I personally prefer Gigabyte.

If you have the budget, I would recommend getting a GTX 760 instead of the GTX 660. If not, go for it !

or a 7790 asus 1 gb for 129?

 

[sanfranla49]

gtx 760 1 or 2 gb is there a big diffence in the 2 im sure I can find one for 150

The more GB, the better. It will give you better framerates in games.

 

[sanfranla49]

wow that is way out of my budget I only got 150 and there wasn't one gtx760 under 280 ne other vendors cheaper than ebay? I doubt it looks like its going to be the gtx 660 2 gb that should push almost all games with my set up right?

 

[sanfranla49]

goin with the gtx 660 that should b good till I can upgrade thanks for all the great feedback sometimes I cant get no answers good shit guys I will go through and pick the best answer thanks again
