Broski.dll

My current system is i7 2600k gpu is gt520 1gb ddr3 I believe my psu is 450w and I Also have 16gb of ddr3 ram. I want a card that will play current games with little to no lag on the highest settings.

Need to know details of your psu. Brand model number. Power Connections for card.

Then your price range.

Sorry for the late reply.

The model number is EN60950 (CIT-450 P4) (I think) and I'm not sure what you mean by power connections for card.

My price range is 150€~

Bump.

Found the PSU.

Has 'generic' written all over it, might be risky.

Broski, an AMD 7850 would be in your price range, but you'd do well to put 40 aside for a more trustworthy PSU.

yawhat!

R9 270 would be a good card to get. It will be good on high to ultra with no AA at around 40 FPS.

Thank you hare and yawhat. Hare, I am going to invest into a new corsair PSU as the one I have IS verv generic as you said. And yawhat, I've been looking at the sapphire r9 270x oc toxic and it seems very good.

The 270x toxic is good but it's also over €200. Get a decent R9 270 and overclock it and you will get the same performance or higher than the 270x toxic.

Good deal here with a free copy of BF4.

Or you could look at getting second hand 7850 that still has 17 months warranty, which is pretty much the same thing!

New option: the GTX 750ti, using only 60 watts (no 6-pin power connector required) and matches the HD 7850 according to Tom's

Surely that cant be right! The 650ti Boost is above it in that chart as well, and i thought that was only on a par with HD7790

It's all low clocked reference cards. There's a lot of headroom on most of the ati ones with a good cooler anyway. Usually pre overclocked by about 10% with another 20%+ more to be had if you have decent airflow which would push the figures about 30% higher over those stock models.
