Graphics card upgrade suggestion

[mohdiqbal999]

Hi im looking for a graphics card upgrade from gigabyte hd7750 2gb oc version its quiet good but i would like to buy a better graphics card that can run new games like gta5,battlefield 4 and more around 60 fps in high setting by the way my monitor is just 1600x900 resolution only.
My specs:
intel core i3 3220
motherboard:H61M-S2P-R3
PSU:500w doesnt have 6pin connector
My budget is around RM600/$150.

The only card better that doesn't use a 6(or 8) pin connecter is the GTX 750ti, should hit high settings at 900p

 

[mohdiqbal999]

I could use the molex power connector to 6 pin

I would suggest either the GTX 750Ti or the R7 265, the 265 is a bit faster, a little cheaper but does require 6pin input.

The 750Ti probably overclocks a bit better although I wouldn't suggest it with your PSU as I'm making an assumption that it's not the highest quality make (as it doesn't have a 6/8 pin connection)

Becnhmarks of the 265 in BF4 @ 1080p, you can expect better performance as you'll be playing 900p but bear in mind your CPU isn't as fast as theirs so results may vary

Which one do you suggest me ?

I would suggest the R7 260X 1GB edition(upgraded version of the 7790). It will use a 6-pin molex connector but you usually get one bundled with smaller cards and if not buy one. If you need to buy one you dont need to go for the 2 molex to 6-pin connector as you will just waste a molex. Go for the standard molex to 6-pin

I don't hold any preference to manufacturers, you'll be happy with any of them. Best to find one you like and read a review and crucially one that is good value for money.

Is the R7 260X 1GB edition better than GTX750?

I would say no, the R7 265 is better than both, plus 1gb of VRAM just doesn't cut it now days.

What about the MSI GTX750Ti 2GB DDR5 OC is it better than R7 265?

 

[p_nut_uk]

No the 750Ti is not better in outright performance.

Maybe ill just buy the MSI GTX750 2GB DDR5 OC its a good choice right?

 

[p_nut_uk]

You could use a Molex connector.

The 750Ti should suit your needs fine though if that's what you want.

1GB of vram is more than enough if you go for 720P or even 900P. The issue that I have is the older tech architecture used in the 700 series and the R7 265 is in the budget of OP on Newegg so rather go with that I was not aware of costing in my country they are over 150$ when converted.

I wouldn't go for a card like the 750. Since your CPU is under gaming requirements rather push and get a better GPU.

Keep in mind the tech used in the 700 range is compared to the card you have currently 750ti=7770 range from AMD rather push for a newer released card.

Also look at the new AMD cards released as on Newegg some of the brands also fall in your budget and would benefit you the most.
