Need Help Deciding on GPU.

[andrewj1999]

1. NVIDIA GT610 2GB
2.HIS Radeon HD 6670 1GB
3.Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 1GB

Which one will be best for casual gaming and possibly dual monitor support?

HIS Radeon HD 6670 1GB offers the best performance without a doubt in case you are trying to build a budget gaming machine.

2.

The extra VRAM with the 610 might help with dual monitors though...

 

[JRAtk94]

Neither of those cards will support multiple monitors.

Actually All 3 cards support at least 2 monitors.

 

[JRAtk94]

Are you sure?

I've heard only the GT 630 and beyond can support multiple monitors. Not sure about the 6570/6670.

Look under the display support section and it says it has multiple monitor support.

That's interesting.

May I ask why you're buying such a weak card?

Are you on a really tight budget, or do you only need a weak card?

Both tight budget and only need card for casual gaming; Sims 3, Need For Speed, Minecraft. Light Video editing.

Which need for speed?

Which need for speed?

2012. I can barely run 2005 on my current integrated GMA 3100.

Although most expensive, the 6670 is the best card by far.
Will tear through light games and play modern ones at reasonable settings.

I can tell you now that NFS Most Wanted 2 (NFS 2012) will not run on any of those cards.

It is the worst console port that I have ever seen (except from DarkSiders 2, which was an absolute joke).

You need brute force to overcome the poor optimisation, to such an extent that the game is literally unplayable without at least a GTX 660 or a HD 7850.

There is a video on youtube with this card playing NFS in 720P at 38avg fps.

 

[JRAtk94]

oh, 720p. That's fine :lol:

I don't play below 1200p. I sometimes forget that other people play at lower resolutions -.-

When you have a small budget you cant always have the best resolution.

 

[smeezekitty]

I play everything at 1280x1024.

 

[andrewj1999]

My current desktop resolution with integrated graphics is 1366x768.
