beaker Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 nvidiaaaaaaaaa Honestly I'm not really a fanboy, but pretty much every single ATI card I've ever installed has BSOD'd windows if I dont get just the right driver and version. You can get a 480 for around your price point, and it should take everything you need it to do, to pound town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 The AMD 7850 or the NVIDEA 480 and 660 (non-ti) are all at the $200 - $230 price mark AMD has really kicked into overdrive the last generation with fixing all the little bugs with their cards. NVIDEA seems to always have consistently stable cards. Honestly at this point all I think that really matters is how well the cooling the card can get from the heat-sinks put on by the partners. Although if you decide to buy a second card in the future, I would go with NVIDEA, since SLI has a lot more smoother frames then crossfire's.

beaker Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 660 ti is slightly faster, but a used 480 is cheaper on ebay. The difference is about 8 fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sound.of.life Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 660s are good Good in the pocket and has decent performance. 1993 Toyota Corolla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 That 660 is great. One of my friends is running that exact card and hasn't had any problems at all. No need to go 660 ti unless you just want to spend more on slightly boosted performance. Most games are only about 5-9 frames difference between the two.

Dwn4BassAlan Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 That would be a great choice, and like others said, don't be too concerned with getting a ti unless you MUST have the performance, but some nice OCing will do just fine if you're not too concerned Biomedical/Behavioral Science Major, The (Self-Proclaimed) Undisputed-Homemade-Woofer-King Super-Neodymium-Woofer Build Log: The D4BA-V.2 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/169236-diy-super-neodymium-woofer-build-log/?p=2475620 Fucking love Alan you goddamned fucking super nerd lol When Alan uses big words I don't understand It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out. Everytime I see a guy driving a mini cooper I cant help but think he loves cock & (2/29/16)-My wife just bitched at me about throwing out things we don't really use. My response of well we don't really use your vagina so should we throw that out was evidently not the right response. I had to leave the room. I missed Alan. RIP 5/29/15 - I love you son.
