Hey everyone, I am trying to find a new graphics card for my computer. I do not need anything that is ridiculous for gaming, as the only games I really play are Fable and Final Fantasy 7 (using HD mods). This is mostly a Media Center PC: I have a CableCard TV Tuner to watch and record TV, and I also do a lot of video editing and rendering. My main focus is noise; as this is a HTPC, I would prefer a very quiet card (and one that runs cool), and the one I have now is anything but that. I also need something with both DVI and HDMI outputs (although I don't think they make anything without those 2 anymore). Budget-wise, I would like to keep it under $150. My PC Specs are: Intel Core i7 2600K ASUS P8Z68-VPRO/GEN3 1155 ATX Corsair Hydro H80 Liquid CPU Cooler 8GB DDR3 Ram 60GB SSD for OS/Programs 1TB WD HDD and 2TB SeaGate HDD for storage, both 7200RPM Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What resolution is your monitor? Best place to start would be here, anyway: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-3.html
Both my 23" monitor and 42" TV are set to 1920x1080. I actually ended up going with the ASUS Radeon 7750HD. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121633&Tpk=HD7750-1GD5-V2 Thanks, though!
I have just made myself a new pc recently to replace my dual core with a quad core. Alot of the components in the old system i was happy with but decided to sell and start fresh.I was the same not to bothered about gaming graphics so i went for MSI Radeon HD 7750 2048MB GDDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card excellent value for the money i spent and although i play console thought i would test pc games on it and it handles very good for the price. http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...R3+PCI-Express+Graphics+Card+?productId=52105
I personally like nVidia more then Radeon, but it's all about what you want really. I've got the nVidia GeForce 640 with 2GB of dedicated memory, and it runs really well, I got it for $129 I believe. Now it's only $89.99, here's a link to the card: Video Card My buddy does a lot of video editing, and we just got him a GeForce 650 Ti with 2GB Memory, and he loves it! But that one will be more expensive then the 640, but it's still a great card!
