Hi, my not so new but still shiny PC has problems with new games when i try to play in 1680x1050 resolution. The parameters are as follow: CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 MoBo: ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 RAM: 2x2GB Kingston DDR3 1333Mhz HDD: 1TB Seagate Barracuda GPU: AMD Radeon HD5770 512MB by ASUS I want to change GPU to something better. What graphic card should I buy? I can spend max 200$(i count the cash from selling current card in it) . Or maybe better change something else cuz GPU is the best choice for this config? Thx in advance.
In Your price range I would be looking at either an Nvidia GTX 560 or an Amd 6870 both of these cards approximately double the benchmark scores of your current card. In the benchmarks the 560 scores marginally better than the 6870. One possible thing to consider however is that the recommended PSU for a 560 is 500 watts 30 amps which your current corsair 450w power supply is probably capable of pushing. The 6870 on the other hand is recommended for 550 watts, which maybe a problem for your 450w ps.
