MObo: DH67CL(b3)
PSU: Coolermaster Power Extreme 600
RAM: 8 GB Corsair Vengence
64 GB Kingston SSD
500 GB WD Caviar Blue HDD
O/S: Windows 7 Professional
Monitor: Samsung 22" LED

with this above configuration i am looking for a nice graphic card i am not into overclocking. but do enjoy games to run free flowing.
i am stuck between the GTX560ti, HD 6870, HD 7770, and the HD 7870,

need some help deciding which GPU will run well with the above config

[Phoenix_89]

If budget is not your constraint go with a 7870.

If budget is not your constraint go with a 7870.

well it is a bit the 7870 is around $300 where as HD 6870 is lesser

 

[Jaydip]

Do u like multigpu?Then u can buy a 6870 now and add another 6870 later if u so desire.6870 will run most modern games with acceptable settings.

 

[ShreddedWheat]

Agree with Jaydip, forget 7770, 7870 is too expensive. Later crossfire 2 6870s for about 260 and be just under the 7970 in performance!

 

[SickBeast]

What about the 7850? I just got one for $230 and I'm happy with it.

 

[Jaydip]

Actually it was not in Op's list

 

[Phoenix_89]

Thanks guys for the sugesstions well i have a DH67CL mobo so i dunno if i could crossfire them.. the HD 6870 sounds too good for the price and i havent checked out the HD 7850 im looking for a 256 bit card with DDR 5 as most modern games re3quire this right?????

 

[Phoenix_89]

in adddition how does the HD 7770 stand against the HD 7850.. im jst looking at the prices for the 7850...

 

[Jaydip]

Forget the 7770,if u have budget go with the 7850.

 

[Phoenix_89]

but the 7850 comes with a PCI express 3.0 and my mobo has PCi express 2.0 its an intel DH67CL...and will an overclocked edition of the 7850 wrk on the H67 mobo???

Thanks in advance

 

[Jaydip]

It will run just fine ,they are backward compatible.

 

[SickBeast]

IMO the best values you can get right now are:

GTX 560 - $149
6870 - $149
7850 - $240-250
GTX 680 - $499

7850 and oc it, it will give a better experience than 6870 cf due to cf having less smoothness and micro stutter

A 7850 oc is as fast as gtx 580

The 7770 is way below the other cards in discussion. It would help if you mentioned your budget or specific requirement to run certain games.

 

[Apis]

The 7770 is pretty much half everything of the 7870, so expect about half the performance... the 7850 is in the middle of these two. I think you will be able to play most games fine with the 7770 just not on max setting. The 1 GB vram on the 7770 could be problematic in the future, especially if you upgrade the display to something with higher resolution (but you don't have to play games at max resolution on the other hand). The 7850 and 7870 both have 2GB vram. (Edit: As far as I can tell the 7750 ... 7950 are all scaled down versions of the 7970.)

Depending on the price and sales and rebates, either the GTX 560 Ti or the HD 6870 among those you listed. The 7xxx cards are overpriced. See if you can find a good deal on the GTX 560 Ti as that will be the best overall performer that is still reasonably priced.

 

[Phoenix_89]

Thank you Everyone for your Sugesstions I have now Decided between the GTX 560 TI and HD 7850.

My question is Since i Have a DH67CL(B3) mobo..and an i5 2400 Processor

Can i use an OC edition Card like the HD 7850 OC edition.... im not over clocking the CPU but only thinking of using an 7850 OC edition..


Thank you for all your help

[Jaydip]

Yes no problem but don't spend too much on it.

 

[aaksheytalwar]

That would be best for you. A 7850 OC once overclocked will outperform 560 Ti 448 OC or 6870 CF.
