Well i have been considering buying a GFX card for a while now, i need some advice on what to buy. My budget is about 50$
I found a seemingly good deal on a Nvidia GT 610 2 GB, would this be able to carry me through 2014-2015?
I don't care about high or ultra settings, i mainly want to be able to play games like Witcher, BF4 without lagg.
My pc specs:
Intel I7, 6 GB ram, Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Resolution: 1600x900
Also if not GT 610, are there any other viable alternatives?

dont waste your money go for something like a hd radeon 7770 and pay about $110 for it

I would if i could, but i can't afford that :(

youll just end up losing money in the long run, i had a gt 630 2gb before upgrading too my 7770, and the performance is poor.
-
Do not buy this GPU. It will bottlenecks your overall performance.

Wait for the good parts, I beg you dude, made the same mistake, right now it's nearing christmas, the sales are comming my friend, just wait for them, be patient, I wasn't and paid 200€ too much for my damn PC

Which i7 is it?
That card is very poor.

I don't remember the model (Will update my post when i access it), but i believe it's one of the earlier versions.
Also, how long do you think the 7770 can last? (Can it get through 2015 games?)

Given that you are talking about something more than a year away, and we have no way to predict that far ahead to see how powerful games and graphics may be, I'd say no. At least nothing really high-end. It is possible, though. My old Nvidia 8800 GT is still able to run GTA IV just fine, and it came out years ago. I doubt I could run games like Battlefield 4, though. It really just depends on how the technology evolves, and what your system is capable of handling. I'd recommend looking at something that can easily be upgraded in the future if you feel you need more power, (assuming your choices don't already support such).
Please also keep in mind that I am speaking in terms of technological advancement, and not in terms of the power of the items you chose. I haven't studied the specs on your choices, so that will also play a factor in how long they last.

Better downgrade to i5 and 4GB RAM (RAM is cheap and can be upgraded anytime, buy one stick of 4GB for now) and go for AT LEAST GT630 since you don't want high or ultra.
-
sugar battlefield 4 was released on 360 and ps3 why do you think the 7770 cant handle that?, it runs all next gen games fine in 1360x768 with 0 lag at 60+ fps same with ac4
-

With computing you ALWAYS get what you pay for. If it's cheap, the quality and performance will be cheap.
You're better off saving up your money and then getting something a bit better in the future.
However the GT 610 will most likely run Battlefield 4 in low settings but it isn't very future proof. Meaning it might not be able to run games which release in the future.

I said my card can't, not your card. It was just an example. :P
-
Well, getting a 7770 is still a really tight squeeze for me and i'm not sure i can make it.
Would the 6670 be able to scale nicely?I googled up the tech. comparison of the two cards, but i really need to know whether a I7 + 6670 can run current games at low, and if it is future proof for atleast one or two years

No mate, definitely a big no... You have a nice set of CPU and you'll get to kill it with an 64bit GPU like this.. Better save up for something better! at least one 128bit gpu!
-
Exterminator if you buy a budget card you will be really disappointed and will upgrade in a couple of months :)

Well i seem to have found a relatively cheap version on a Indian site, but the reviews say that they use "Cheap plastic"
"I did not order this product from flipkart but i would like to clear some points so it will be easy for others to make the purchase.
1) The image they have displayed is of another model. There are TWO models with the same name "SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR5" even on the manufacturers website. You will be getting the second model which is smaller and not the one which is shown in the image. If possible website manager should replace this image with the other one to clear the confusion.
2) Your Catalyst Control Center will detect this as 7700 Series GPU. See carefully its 7700 SERIES which means your GPU belongs to 7700 series. For actual model, you can use other apps like GPU-Z.
3) They have used cheap plastic... like seriously. I am comparing this to my old cards. Both cover and the circuit board plastic seems cheap so i advise you to use Sapphire TRIXX utility and use custom fan control to keep the temperatures at bay. Example : 0-40dc temp : 30% fanspeed, 40-70dc temp : 30%-100% fanspeed, 70-100dc temp : 100% fanspeed. Yes this will reduce fans life but i would gladly trade my fans life for chips life anytime. Its easy to replace the fan than the burnt chip.
Other than that, its a decent model."
Other reviews also state that the version isn't the one they ordered, but other than that everybody does seem to love the card. I think i may be able to squeeze for it, should i?
-
SAPPHIRE HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR5 is the exact card i have, really good performance at mid range resolution (1360x768) with everything on ultra, skyrim and assassins creed 4 look spectacular and run at 60+fps
-
Well, which should i go for?
There's one from sapphire where reviews say that they got another card and apparently some plastic problems
Or should i go for "PowerColor AMD/ATI HD 7770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card"? (Only neg. review here says that it doesn't support crossfire)
It is a 4$ more expensive, should i go for it?
"1000 MHz GPU Clock Speed
PCI-E 3.0 x16 Bus Standard
Shader Version 5.0
1 GB GDDR5 Memory
3D Vision Support
2560 x 1600 Maximum Digital Resolution
450 W Power Supply Required"0

You will get great performance on either of the 2, the differences are probably too small too notice so go with which one you feels right for you :D
-
If you don't have 2 slots for 2 cards and don't plan on using Crossfire, (or getting 2 cards to begin with), then don't worry too much about the lack of Crossfire support. That is meant for linking 2 ATI/AMD video cards together and using them as one.
-
Well sadly i can't afford either :/
There's a 16$ diff. between them but i don't have a 6 pin :/ (And i literally don't even have two four pin to use in a converter). Buying a PSU adds another 50$ which i can't go for.
Can i substitute the 7750?

Beware cheap power supplies. They are often not very stable.
Also, to others posting here, please don't post useless, taunting comments. They will be removed. If you can't contribute to the topic in any positive fashion, then you shouldn't be posting.

Massive fail before..
Anyways.. Try to get a 500 serie.. GTX is prefered and the price is not that high. Your CPU bottlenecks your CPU. Is this your actual current build btw with that I7 ?
-
Well i finally decided to go with the 7750, MASSIVE GPU power.I'm running all my games at max settings.There is one problem though, the PC itself seems to be slower.
It takes an entire second for chrome to open up, and everything else just feels..slow..
Any ideas what could be causing that?

Just drop the i7, go for i5 instead. What do you even need an i7 for? o.O

RAM. Get some more, won't hurt.
