Best graphics card for $150?

Closed
ArmadX
  • Has to run DX11
  • No preference between nVidia and AMD (please don't start a war, they're both good makes)
  • $150 is the maximum budget, not a cent more :) (Of course, cheaper is better, as long as there's no/little performance drop)
  • GDDR5 would be great :D (GDDR3 is the minimum)
  • Minimum 1gig of memory

Go steamgifters! Work your magic! :D

I think you can get a stock GTX 650 Ti for that money

If it's a Boost card, then it would be an option.

Don't know much about it.

Just gave him a suggestion, according to what he asked.

I second this. Newegg has a version with 2GB (i believe GDDR5) for $164...but goes down to 154 with the mail-in rebate (if you do those).

I would get a Radeon 7850 or a 7870 (If you can find one on sale, priced down). That is the best value you will get for that price. I see 7870 Ghz Edition cards really close to $150. A really good sale and maybe one hits it.

Check out this chart. to understand how good each one is compared to others. You will still want to buy a card from a good company, with good specs, but it is a start.

Yep, I would say this is the best option. There's a 7870 selling for $169.99 right now and I've seen them a little bit lower. If not, a 2GB 7850 would be a great option, as well.

buy the AMD Radeon HD 7850 assuming your powersupply has enough wattage and processor will not cause a servere bottleneck. if you do not want the free games in AMD's Never Settle Bundle the nVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost Edition is a good alternative

I bought a Nvidia Geforce GT630 for $110, but thats NZ value. Its a pretty good graphics, but I don't think it that good of a graphics for the new games.

I'm biased towards Nvidia but I feel AMD has great value, especially considering their games bundle. Stretch your budget just a little bit and you can get the HD 7850.

HD 7790 or 650 Ti would be the best in this price range :)

I'd recommend saving up a bit more and getting some more powerful one. But I'd say 650 TI is a good choice!
