Help picking GPU?

I'm looking to switching to PC gaming because PS3 graphics aren't cutting it anymore. I want to build the cheapest PC possible but still be able to run my game collection on high settings. I play Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Portal, CSGO, PayDay 2, GMOD, and Mirror's Edge. I doubt a 750Ti can max all of these games out, but can a 660? 660Ti? I don't plan on playing any newer games at all. I'm gaming on 1 1080p monitor and won't be upgrading to 1440p or 4K any time soon. I would prefer Nvidia because I might be getting a Shield and I would love to use Gamestream and also ShadowPlay.

I do believe there is a performance penalty when running shadow play so take that into account when selecting a GPU.

Now what is your budget.
 
A 750Ti would be able to max out those games at 1080p. But probably not at 1440p. I'd get at least a GTX 760 for 1440p.

This whole exchange really made me lol! :biggrin:



To the OP, you don't need much of GPU to max the games your interested in at 1080p. 750ti should be fine, it's great performance per watt, but it is a bit weak if you want to expand your games list to newer titles.

Given you are transitioning from PS3 to PC, i'd highly reccomend you consider giving the system a shot at doing more gpu ooomph. For that look at 660 or better from nVidia and R9 270 or better from AMD. Both should be <$180.
