Hi all. Just finished my new build and am hunting for deals on a GPU. Not looking to spend more than $100-150 (pref. less). Im not a huge gamer but I play. I can play Skyrim on medium settings off the igpu so I would hope the money spent on a gpu would improve from there (not sure how much improvement though) . Im looking for the best bang for the buck. Asus p8z68v-lx i5 2500k OC'd to 4.3G Xigmatek cpu cooler 8gig. Corsair XMS3 1600 OCZ ZS Series 650w psu Win 7 Pro. 64-bit single monitor 1280x1024 (I'm loving this build so far)
I think the "Radeon HD 6770" or "Geforce GTX 550 Ti" fits into that category. Radeon HD 6770 Passmark benchmark GeForce GTX 550 Ti "Radeon HD 6770" and "Geforce GTX 550 Ti" Newegg search
GeForce GTX 550 Ti - HDMI Version 1.4a Radeon HD 6770 - HDMI Version 1.4a HDMI Version 1.4a Whether you have a 20" or 50" screen, 1080P is still 1080P.
Throw in a GTX 5xx or a ATI 6870 and your set!!! A 460 1GB is in your price range and it is a beast OCer ,,,At your resolution games will fly soo fast,, with a 460 ,, you will never drop below 60fps ,,,, gl
