Graphics Card under $175

What are you planning on using the GPU for? Types of games etc
Why not spend a bit more now and then not have to bother later on?

As I'm building a new computer and my max budget is $700 and after all the other parts $175 was left for a GPU but I'd prefer to spend less.
The games I would be playing Mists of Pandaria then some new games like Assassin's Creed and Borderlands 2 when it's out.

Use this. Its pretty detailed and broken into price brackets.

I'd get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130664
The HD7770 is also a good alternative (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127687) if you'd like to spend a lot less, although it's much slower than the regular 560 in WoW.

I max out everything except for shadows with a 5770. But WOW isn't a demanding title really....

Thanks for all the helpful replys.
I'm thinking maybe the 6850 would be a good option.

I'd go on ebay and get a used gtx 560 ti for $150 or less.

I just got a geforce gtx 560 se for just under $150 at memory express in Edmonton. Great deal running 150+ fps most times while playing WoW

Saying that without telling us what resolution and graphic settings is meaningless. Originally Posted by Cyberpunx182

I would get a 7850

Yes its 25 dollars above budget, but it is better than a 6870 and 560. Imo it is worth the extra 25 dollars above budget
Im sorry, but i have a hard time believing that. A 580 runs that with around 30-36 fps minimum on ultra (minus ubersampling) on 1080p Originally Posted by Arschmade

And from personal experience, a 460 had issues running it at medium on 1080p. And a 6870 is on par with the 460.
So either you arent playing on 1080p, or we have different views on running TW2 smoothlyLast edited by mmoc24391763c2; 2012-09-01 at 05:11 PM.

If you can, get a 7850. It's currently the best value/money card.
I'd only resort to older generation GPUs if you absolutely must. However, I'll admit that the 150-200 dollar price-range doesn't have a lot to offer currently.
So it's either a 7770 on the low end, or a 7850 on the high-end.Last edited by mmoc433ceb40ad; 2012-09-01 at 05:55 PM.
