What GPU to buy????

[royfrosty]

Hi all, currently im using an entry level Asus HD7750 1gb ddr5 card.

Thinking of upgrading. Budget $250.

Anyone care to input what gpu is suitable for me? Cause i'm like looking at all the card i so confused and been thinking for a month.

Been using AMD cards for quite some time already. So far no problem, the only problem i had is the HDMI issues where by some time my receiver could not detect the sound signal coming out from my PC. Just like my laptop. Googling it found out that AMD has this known issue for quite some time already.

So not sure whether to get AMD or Nvidia.

Thanks

EDIT: To add on, i play games like Diablo 3, Civilization V, WOW. I'm currently playing in full hd.

If amazon I vote 660ti direct cu
If local I vote 7870 mystic but slighty above ut budget. But if sell game can be within 250

Why 660ti? 760 cheaper and better, no?
I think 7870 has more OCing overhead, but don't take my word for it. Newbie here

Since you mentioned WoW, get the GTX650Ti Boost 2GB. The Palit version should be $259.

AMD has consistent optimization problems with WoW, so the HD7850 2GB, which I'd usually recommend at the same price range, is out.

Also, guys, you don't have to poison people to buy way-out-of-range cards

what about used but excellent condition GTX 660 from amazon @ 169.93 + 25 (USD)?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-list...9&sr=8-1&keywords=evga+gtx+660&condition=used

This has evga international warranty too.

Hmm so its between gtx650 and 7850. Hmmm

Amazon.com: PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card AX7850 2GBD5-DH: Computers & Accessories

Amazon.com: HIS 7870 IceQ 2 GB(256bit) GDDR5 2x Mini-DiplayPort HDMI DL DVI-I (HDCP) PCI Express X 16 3.0 Graphics Card H787Q2G2M: Computers & Accessories

the his 7870 is the best deal. 200 usd with free global shipping (will blow your budget by around 15 sgd though)

if u want to buy the 200 usd 7870, you might as well save abit more get 7870 myst locally...

Get nvidia from amazon, got free splinter cell game...for your budget will be gtx 660. but if can, top up $50usd and get gtx760.

 

[royfrosty]

What about sapphire hd 7850 oc editon. Seems like locally can get at $267 slightly burst. Lol

Is EVGA the only graphics card vendor that provides "International Warranty" ?

 

[iKoori]

For the international warranty you will still have to send the product to Taiwan.

I know. But do you know who else provides "International Warranty" ?

 

[iKoori]

Only EVGA for GPU currently

 

[royfrosty]

If still got the asus 20 usd rebate form den asus 660ti dc2 only cost 235 usd w free shipping
The asus 760 cost 259 cheapest w.o free shipping. Means probably another 20usd for shipping
Thatt means 235 vs 279

I dont think the extra 44 bux which is abt 57bux sgd justify the very negligible better performance of 760 leh
