oh cuz my 7950 like up the lorry liao so was thinking of getting a new one so now at $300-400 no card can compare to 7950 ?

U can consider get gtx970 / 290x from Lazada...

Sometimes will have promotion to get $50-100 off

Msi gtx970 OC ~ $499
Sapphire 290x tri-x ~ $455

Just to add, if you use Citibank or Mastercard to pay on certain days on Lazada, you'll get 10% off .

I say get a Sapphire R9 280 3GB Dual X for $269, dont bother with the GTX960s, GTX960, 7950 and r9 280 is about the same performance tier, and for the price point r9 280 best value/performance compared to gtx 960.

Unless you wanna drop the bomb on a GTX 970 cheapest also MSI Armor OC $499 @ PC Themes, well if you dont mind having a second hand card, u can easily get GTX780s on the forums for much less than the current GTX970s for about $400~ got a few listings for you to consider!

Just FYI, R9-280 is simply an overclocked HD 7950. If you are looking at some substantial performance upgrade, you should heed for R9-290X/GTX 970 at minimum.

For a card within your price range and can provide a substantial upgrade from the 7950, a secondhand GTX780 is plentiful for the current price/performance.
Linked linustechtips benchmarking for u to see the performance diff.

If you can shell out the money go ahead and get a GTX 970 for better power efficiency! Have a great day!
