What's a good budget graphics card for a PC?..

[spliz]

that link's from 2009...

as far as cooling fans, what case are you working with? ultimately just get that card in there, and then you can see what kind of temps you're dealing with

I just have a stock HP case...but ok...

 

[spliz]

as a former AMD fanboy...avoid them

before @2gunsup comes in here talking shyt...

damn...so I should just save up and swap it out when I can?..

throw AMD in the bushes...they have been beat at almost every price point and the upgrade paths are unknown.

they dont even support PCIE 3.0 @ this time and its hard to find many boards that are SLI compatible...it might be over for them soon

just trash it for an ivy system. Upgrade paths would be easier for this whole upcoming generation. Put it like this...with an ivy based system you are practically guaranteed to be able to run with that same motherboard, ram, hdd, cpu (upgrade), psu, and everything else except for your video cards. No slots wasted...easy upgrade paths all around

If you go AMD you just don't know what might happen, don't get bulldozed

it probably has crappy air-flow, but I don't know if it even has space for more fans, or if that's necessary. if it's really bad, you'd probably be better off just getting a new case (they're pretty cheap)

but if you already have all this stuff, I think you might as well get a new gpu, throw it in, and see where you're at. then you can decide if you need more air-flow, a better cpu, etc

if you switch from AMD to Intel then you gotta get a new board to support the new chip.

i'm rocking an i5 3570k, 560ti card & 16 gigs DDR3 ram.
i can play any game but i need to tone down the anti aliasing
to play Sleeping Dogs at a frame rate around 50. i can play
Far Cry 3 with everything max and be around 50 fps.

if i through a 660 or better in my rig it would be :krss: status.

If you decide to destroy and rebuild know that it is ridiculous to get a CPU & Mobo at any other place if you have a MC nearby.

air flow looks pretty good with that case.

i'm working with this:

HAF 932 Advanced - Cooler Master

airflow is lovely.

I'm not planning on building a PC until after the consoles are showcased...my thing is...if im going to get a PC...I want there to be a significant difference in graphics or its pretty much pointless to me.

I know for sure I'm getting at least one console on top of building a PC.....got too many homies online I'd be a loaner solely playing PC lol. I'm just a graphics whore lol.
