Which GPU should I get?

Posted 10 January 2013 - 10:56 AM

Note, there are quite a few options here. I am looking to spend around 100-200 USD. Also the reason I am looking at Best Buy is because I have a gift card to knock down some of the expense. Here are some cards I have come across. I have a 700 watt PSU on the way, and I want to be able to play newer games like Call of Duty: Black Ops II on at least medium settings (before I had thought going all out investing in a new CPU and mobo was best, however when I lowered the resolution on my game settings, the video was much smoother, with less quality).

First of all, the card I have is one of these.

Some potential GPUs I have been looking into:

- http://www.bestbuy.c...6&skuId=6820098

- http://www.bestbuy.c...9&skuId=5608277

- http://www.bestbuy.c...7&skuId=6820159

- http://www.bestbuy.c...4&skuId=6820308

- http://www.bestbuy.c...6&skuId=2293037

- http://www.bestbuy.c...8&skuId=3628108

- http://www.bestbuy.c...8&skuId=2375089

- http://www.bestbuy.c...2&skuId=5716954

- http://www.bestbuy.c...3&skuId=5606876

Thanks for your help in advance.

Seriously.. you couldn't have spent the time to actually write out what the card names? So now I have to spend my time opening up ten links to best buy's bloated site and to try and figure out what you even are talking about? Bad form.. bad form indeed.

Fine.. just go look here:

The GT 610 can play Black Ops 2 at medium settings at a lower resolution like 720p, however it isn't a recommended GPU. As far as what you've listed, they'll all play the game, but it's hard to recommend one without knowing what resolution you'll be playing at.

I think the HD7770 is a good middle ground, as it's only $15 more than the GT 640. It'll play most games at the highest settings at 1080p, but you'll have to turn the settings down a bit for something like Crysis.

See this to compare GPU benchmark scores.

For that budget,
A Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost would run most games on high settings. About $180 and it comes with a factory overclock. I checked out some benchmarks and it doesn't fall to far behind the 660 and runs better than the 650 ti
