moochinazz · Feb 4, 2012, 10:13 AM

micropage7 · Feb 4, 2012, 10:14 AM

return to what you need, like resolution, are you gaming much or all around need, do you want to oc it or not
start from that so you can find any graphic card that match

moochinazz · Feb 4, 2012, 10:28 AM

i won't do any hardcore gaming or so, just wat to run games fluently at 1920x1080. thats all.

Yo_Wattup · Feb 4, 2012, 10:38 AM

GTX 560Ti or a HD6950 is about as good as you'll get in that price bracket

moochinazz · Feb 4, 2012, 10:40 AM

i have an offer to buy a used gtx480 250 shipped. iis it a good deal?

Yo_Wattup · Feb 4, 2012, 10:44 AM

boomstik360 · Feb 4, 2012, 04:10 PM

Yeah, my bad, I'm used to Australian prices.

And over here, a 560ti 448 shaders can be had for alot less than a 570, and it performs exactly the same. Just sayin.

moochinazz · Feb 5, 2012, 09:17 AM
