Looking for a graphics card?

[FlyingHawk08]

So tired of gaming at 480p on my moniter (who isn't! lol)
Basically I want a graphics card that can game at 1680x1050 with 60fps constant, i don't mind turning down the eye candy to achieve this.

The games i'll be playing are Battlefield 3, Black Ops 2, Hitman Absolution and TF2

Any suggestions? (My budget is around $100 with $10 leeway, don't want to spend much however if its bang for the buck I might consider it)

I would be going for the 7770 in that price bracket. However, if you could push $150-$160 for a 7850 1GB, that is almost 60% faster than a 7770.

You can get this, get the rebate, and sell the games after. Basically a 7850 for $80.

If you could, get this:

150$.

Superb GPU. Will run at over 60FPS at the resolution mentioned.

You could also look into a 7850. I think it's cheaper, but still in the 40-50FPS range.

The 650 ti is on average outperformed by the 7850 but not in battlefield

The 7850 beats the 650TI Boost in most scenario's. Can also be OCed quite a bit. Theres no contest between the 7850 and 650TI in Hitman Absolution either.. , the 7850 clearly wins.

7850 is a powerful card eclipsing even the last series flagship 6970, that is something to think about, mind you thats not in all scenarios but most.

Indeed, and its using only a single 6 pin as compared to the 6970's dual 6 pin connectors. Half the power, same performance.

Regardless, I would recommend to for the 7850 1GB and sell the games. You could even get the 2GB for like $175 and sell the games and still be around your budget.
