Need a recommended video card.


Recommended Posts

 

I'd go for a used 7970 and then buy a new case!

 

I think you're the last person here that should recommend to people on buying a new case! :P

 

Hey mine fits any video card though! (since I cut it out further for the 5970) :P

It's not the best looking card but at 9.53" and a free game :http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127744

And def get a new case man.  There are actually a lot of deals on the 760 with mail in rebates to get it below 250 even a reman for 210, so take a look at them and use the saved money on a case.

Hmm. I asked my friend if he could get the card for me since I can't drive. Instead he stopped over with a XFX - Core Edition Radeon R7 240 2gb Ddr3 PCI Express Graphics Card and said I could have it for free. He had an extra one sitting around that he never used. Is this a good card? I also notice theres a HDMI port on it. Can I hook up my monitor to that, would it even improve the display at all? Thanks!

I'd bet your 4850 is more powerful than an R7 240 by a very significant amount...

Waco is correct, that 6 year old card is faster by a good amount.

+ this, though a fine backup card it'd make...Though I guess that's what the 4850 shall do

i agree with wevspot unless your wanting a new card el capitans used gtx 580 is  less than a 100 points less in the passmark 3d test than the gtx 760. another option if you have 9.5 inches is evga b stock gtx 760 superclocked with acx cooler for $229.00

Ah I see. I'll still go get another card then. He tried saying its way more powerful but the card is old so didn't think it was that much more powerful at all.
