Need a new Graphic Card

[ryukeen]

Ahoy mates, need a new gpu since my old RadeonHD4890 burned out after couple years of gaming, Im willin to spend around 150-200euros.

CPU: AMD PHENOM II X4 965 3.4GHZ

PowerSupply: CORSAIR TX650W V2

Ram: 6GB

any opinion is welcomed thx

What country are you located in?

 

[ryukeen]

Portugal, I wonder if there is any card for 200euros that can handle BF3 ultra or almost ultra 1080p

7950 w/boost

7950 w/boost

a 7950 is 450 euros in spain.

a 7850 is the best card under 200.

cheers!

 

[daswilhelm]

sorry, i though euro's were worth more than my dollar.

sorry, i though euro's were worth more than my dollar.

They are - for most things just not electronics for electronics its pretty close to 1:1 ratio.

 

[Derza10]

This is the best card you can get for under 200 - GTX 660.

The AMD 7850 would be the next best.

They are.
1 euro =~ 1.3 dollars right now.

With shipping and import taxes, however the goods are going to be a lot more expensive there than in the states.

At least the OP doesn't live in Australia or NZ. PC part prices there are stuptarded.

GTX 660 > AMD 7850... I linked one that was under 200.

Good find. Pcpartpicker spain doesn't have that registered.

 

[ryukeen]

thx mates, can any of those GPU handle BF3 at its ultra??

 

[Derza10]

The GTX 660 at 1080p on ultra should get around 35-45 fps... anything lower than 1080p should be close to 60 FPS on ultra.

 

[Derza10]

Here is a slightly outdated review... so you can expect slightly higher FPS for both the GTX 660 and the AMD 7850.

Here is a comparison of the 7850 and 660.

oced 7850 > oced GTX 660 so if your overclocking get the 7850.

 

[Derza10]

oced 7850 > oced GTX 660 so if your overclocking get the 7850.

That completely depends on luck of the draw... Not all 7850 will overclock higher than all GTX 660... Actually i doubt very many will at all. Could you provide some evidence to your claims?

Because the Nvidia 6xx series of card have a locked voltage where as the AMD 7xxx series do not so that's a given

Well I can get 1300 Mhz off my voltage locked 680 so eh?

Helper, recommending a card based on it's overclocking ability without knowing your client's willingness to overclock is irresponsible. Unless othewise stated, it's best to assume there will be no overclocking. It's ok to mention the good overclockers as a footnote, however. There's a reason this is the general format of nearly every video card review done. At stock clock speeds, the 660 is clearly the higher-performing card.

That having been said, I am currently running a pair of Asus DC2 7850's each at 1200 Mhz core (1.22v and 1.24v respectively) from the default 860mhz, which is a fairly-ridiculous 40% overclock in and of itself. From various forum posts, it appears the safe voltage ceiling is 1.3v, and some folks have achieved a stable 1300mhz.

 

[winstonfang]

you should consider the amd 7850-7950
or nvidia gtx 650 ti and gtx 660 ti

I did not recommend anything all i said was an oced 7850 is better than the oced GTX 660.

 

[quilciri]

oced 7850 > oced GTX 660 so if your overclocking get the 7850.

Sure looks like a recommendation to me.

Regardless, whether or not a fully oc'd 660 performs better than a fully overclocked 7850 is highly debatable (and already in lots of debate everywhere), and is not particularly useful to this thread. You are doing little more than sparking a flame war that will go on for dozens of posts without helping the OP.

It is relevant to the thread considering the 7850 is cheaper but most likely will perform better oced. And on another note if you want to assume i make a recommendation by simply putting out facts then that's your problem. I say assume because you did make an a$$ out of you and me =/
