Graphics Card Help

[Oakiesmokie]

Hello. I am looking for a graphics card that will play Guild Wars 2 and BF3 on medium - ultra settings. In addition, that will play the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online on medium + settings.

I have chosen this: GIGABYTE GV-N650OC-2GI GeForce GTX 650 2GB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125444

My budget is anything under $200.

Any info would be greatly appreciated

Hi. What's your monitor resolution and are you willing to buy from other websites too? There are a couple HD 7850 2GB under $190 and a GTX 660 at $190.

What do you think of this card http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004

Would 2GB be better for that resolution?

2GB would be better but at that price you can get a better GTX 660 from NCIX I posted above.

Edit: I meant to say the HD 7850 2GB would be better than 1GB.

Make sure your PSU is sufficient for whichever card you ultimately decide to go with.

The GTX 650 isn't powerful enough to handle 2 GB of VRAM because of its low memory bandwidth.

You can get the GTX 660 or a different HD 7850 2GB for the same price or less with or without rebate.
