Stealth3si Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Bad month I had. First, I had to replace my new antec 620c with antec becaus it had a bad capactior Next, I just got asus 5450 for $29.99 - $20 rebate but I F*cked up on the rebate!! :mad: I sent in the wrong invoice/recipt from the antecPSU arGGH!!!1! :bang head Then, my registry got corrupt by windows 7 manager registry cleaner and had to a fresh install... :bang head:mad::bang head:mad: Well already got antec to send me a new unit last week and it's coming today. also, i'm consdiering returning the video card to amazon and get whatever money I can get back....not sure how much money i would lose form the restocking fee but $30 seems a lot for a super low end card. i already knew that before I bought it because i wasn't intending on playing video games but i totally forgot about Dialbo 3 was coming out this year. you can see my setup below in my sig but i want a card that meets three requirements please 1. is supported by 620W antec NEO ECO PSU 2. my budget is around $100-$200. 3. plays D3 on HIGH (or possibly even maximum) settings 4. Do I need to overclock? 5. Do I need an aftermarket cooler? anyways here's a video list i put together for ya. there's plenty to choose from and if you know the answer you probably don't need the list anyway because you've probably done your research already. so i'm here to leech off your work heheh but i honestly i dont' know which one has the best price / performance ratio. anyone out ehre who knwos can reocmmend please? High performance: Nvidia: GeForce GTX 590 GeForce GTX 580 GeForce GTX 570 GeForce GTX 560 ti GeForce GTX 550 ti GeForce GTX 480 GeForce GTX 470 GeForce GTX 465 GeForce GTX 460 GeForce GTS 360M GeForce GTX 295 GeForce GTX 285 Geforce GTX 280 Geforce GTX 280M GeForce GTX 275 GeForce GTX 260 Quadro FX 5800 ATI: Radeon HD 6990 Radeon HD 6970 Radeon HD 6950 Radeon HD 6870 Radeon HD 6850 Radeon HD 6790 Radeon HD 6770 Radeon HD 6750 Radeon HD 5970 Radeon HD 5870 Radeon HD 5850 Radeon HD 5830 Radeon HD 5770 Radeon HD 5750 Radeon HD 4870 X2 Radeon HD 4870 Radeon HD 4850 X2 Radeon 4850 HD Radeon HD 4800 FirePro 3D V8750 FirePro 3D V8700 Duo FirePro 3D V8700 FireStream 9370 Firestream 9350 FireStream 9270 FireStream 9250 thank you and i appreciate your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameRonin Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Newegg has an EVGA GTX550 Ti for $135, $115 after rebate. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130625 Edited May 15, 2012 by GameRonin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFury77 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Price for performance, the HD 6850 still wins. For the Nvidia camp, a cheap GTX 560 is the best bang for the buck (the 336core version). http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+6850 HD 6850 better on ebay pc hd 6850 galaxy 560 and ebay GTX560 MSI TFII Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth3si Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) yay! I decided to get a dual fan 560 TI 448 for under $200. i prolly overkill for d3 but i may wish to play other games in case. i'm gonna oc the hell out of the frozr hehe no pun intended i wonder how the oc would compare and if my psu has enough juice for it.

Stealth3si Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I have heard that this card cools the GPU pretty well but it dumps hot air back into the case. Would a PCI Slot Cooler be a good solution for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 As long as you have decent flow through your case you should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth3si Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I believe I have good airflow in my case. When I get a chance can I post a pic of my case to show you? I just want to be sure because I don't know much about the physics of airflow dynamics, etc. It would be nice to have a second or third opinion.
