Gtx260 upgrade, ~140$

[zawish]

hello

my current gpu has to go, its Palit GeForce GTX 260 896MB Sonic, it doesnt support dx11, which is what i need -> crysis3 and some other things

what im looking for is a good gpu, preferably quiet, dont care about power usage, price max 140$ (100-105 €) (not living in the us, so cant use any bargain ) and also i dont want used card, i prolly wont OC it and for sure will not SLI.

current pc:
AMD Phenom II X4 945 95W
Gigabyte MA770T-UD3P
8GB ddr3 1333mhz
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W
22inch 1920x1080 screen

i would also prefer nvidia over radeon

is gtx650 ti my only option? or maybe amd is so superior in that price range that i should leave nvidia?

many thanks for your inputs.

650 or 7750/7770

Could spend a bit more and get a 7850

Better than a 650 in pure performance.

hmm 164$ ... thats cheaper than here, where i live, here cheapest 7850 is around 195-200$, if it was for 165 here it would be a no-brainer, but thats almost 1/3 more, so no way,

yeah its either 650 or 7770, both are similar in scores, but 7770 seems a lil bit cheaper, but in that case i would still try to find quiet 650ti just for the sake of having nvidia

Aw that's a shame.

Between those two, I would take the Nvidia card personally. Gigabyte are your best bet.

ye, im still wondering how it will perform in crysis3 ...

thx for your advices

What is your monitor size? if 1080 that card will struggle a bit. The recomended it 560 so you should be ok but a little on the low side.
