Help in choosing graphic card

[urbanlegend9]

Hi everyone!

This is my current specs:


Motherboard : B85m-G43
Graphic card : ATI radeon HD 4770
Processor : intel core i5-4570
Ram: 4gb


I am in need of a good graphic card, preferably with a budget of 200 and below.
and a graphic card that is compatible with my current specs. As i just bought a new monitor , Dell U2414H which only accepts graphic card that has mini DP

P.S : i do game quite often !

zotac gtx 750ti @ $207. Hdmi should work.

hdmi and mini hdmi is the same. Just need an adaptor.
Its like USB and micro USB. Just a smaller form factor.

Your PSU and what games you playing?

 

[royfrosty]

Depends on what games you really wanna play

If you are intending to play BF4, Hitman and Titanfall, you can look at the $400 range.

If you are intending to play Thief, Farcry 3, Tomb Raider you can look at all the gtx760.

If you are playing games like Diablo3, WoW, Hearthstone, SC2, or any other Blizzard/Steam games, you can get the $250 range.

For Dota 2 ONLY any gpu below $200

$200 range
Zotac gtx 750ti ~ $205

$250
Powercolor r9 270 2gb ~ $260
MSI r9 270 2gb Twin Frozr ~ $285

What do you think of power colour 7850 vs zotac gtx750 ti ? 2gb? and how do i know if it is compatible with my current spec? thanks !

 

[royfrosty]

It does work with your B85m G43. It has a x16 slot pcie to slot in the gpu.

Also make sure if the Power supply is sufficient for any other cards other than gtx750ti.

7850 is the previous gen cards. It is now known to have the similar performance as the r7 260X. As for the gtx750ti it is slightly better than the 7850.

 

[urbanlegend9]

i just went to check my PSU, it is cooler master extreme 2 525. i think it should be able to support that card ?

oh yes , should i just opt for GTX 750ti OC or just GTX 750ti?

 

[royfrosty]

The price doesnt differ much. Just go for the OC want if you can.

Check your monitor connections also.

[royfrosty]

Yes it is fine. GTX750ti does not need much power.

 

[urbanlegend9]

Ports for GTX 750 ti (oc)
DVI 2
HDMI 1
DisplayPort 1
VGA With included adapter

Well my monitor is dell U2414H ...and it has a mini DP.dont really wish to spend anymore for HDMI or display port cables... and its hard to find mini DP to DP ..

Another question : Does using HDMI differ in terms of performance of graphic , compared to using Mini DP?

 

[royfrosty]

U2414H has HDMI connections.


The only way is to buy a DP cable or HDMI cable. Cause the GPU does not come with the cables. Im sure you current existing connection is using a HDMI cable or a DP cable. Go and check it out.

 

[urbanlegend9]

Checked it out already, it is using a DP to mini DP . i think i'll just have to get the HDMI cable then ! Big thank you to everyone who helped to answer my questions in this forum!

Am still in the midst of learning all this IT knowledge!
