Dayz buget video card?

It has been a long decade of not playing video games. I was looking at the Dayz video recommendations, which were GTX 560 or Radeon 7750, 1GB VRAM. I think these requirements might be dated as these lines of cards seem to be close to EOL.

Anyone playing this game and using a budget card? It would be nice to keep it under a $100. Yeah, I could afford a lot more, but I'd rather spend it elsewhere.

BTW, I would be dropping this into an i7 4770K, 16GB RAM with SSD, which I presently use the Intel onboard graphics to drive a 27" 1920x1200 television/monitor.

You are more than likely looking for something along the lines of an AMD 260x, 265 or an Nvidia 750 at that $100 price point. Anything less than those really aren't considered actual gaming cards as that segment moves more towards HTPC stuff and the performance really starts to tank. I know you don't want to spend more than $100 but at this moment the sweet spot is to find a 7950/280 (they are the same card) at the $150 price range. The performance is a massive jump up from anything you can find at $100. You can also try to find an AMD 270/270x in the $120-130 range and that would be a good deal also.

There is also the used market. Might be good to check the for sale forum here.
 
Is it just me or did AMD cards just get their prices hiked on newegg? Everything I'm seeing that I researched a couple months ago when I bought my 270 went up by $30 or more. New prices are ridiculous. My 270 was $129... 280s are $180 and up...
 
the in game video settings make this game playable on almost any card... i can actually run it on the onboard video on my motherboard while my gpu is out for rma

prices go up when the stocks run low. especially with new gpus coming out = no stock replenishment.
 
Not looking to buy used, but like I said, I can afford more. I just want to play the game, using sufficient resolution on a 1920x1200 screen to make it look like a game from 2000. 🙂 I'm guessing the GTX 600's are the next level up for nVidia, but what about AMD?
 
My brother recently picked up a lightly used 660 Ti for $100, and was eye'ing a 280 for ~$120. If you're good with secondhand cards, that's about where the scaling starts.
