Recommend me a sub $100 graphics card.

[MountainKing]

Aight guys. Pretty tight on budget and wanting to change my Nvidia GT7600 256GDR3 graphics card for the upcoming Diablo3 and Jagged Alliance - Back in Action games.

I have some options readily that fit the bill but if you have ANY OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS, I would consider looking for it.
Options available at hand:
1) XFX HD 5550 550M 1GB DDR3 DP
2) XFX HD 5570 550M 1GB DDR3 HDM6
3) XFX HD 5670 775M 1GB DDR3 HDM6
4) XFX HD 6570 650M 1GB DDR3 HDM6
5) XFX HD 6670 800M 1GB DDR3 HDM6
6) ASUS A6 RADEON HD6670 1GB DDR5
7) XFX GF G430 700M/1G DDR3/HDM6

Is the difference between DDR3 and DDR5 that noticeable?


I DO NOT play FPS games and my monitor is a 22 inch 1980x1080p resolution.
Greatly appreciate your input guys.

yep, 6750 is probably the best you can get in your price range
the HIS is OOS, but this powercolor isn't, although it's only DDR3 it's still faster than a 6670

edit: ooo they have a 6770 for $100 - $20 MIR + $7 shipping, even better!

GET IT! unless it HAS to be sub $100 before MIR
jagged alliance seems like it's going to be pretty graphics intensive, it even recommends a 5850/460

Best sub 100$ cards:

1) AMD 6770 for 80$:

SAPPHIRE 100328L Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102940


2) Nvidia 550 ti ~99$:

MSI N550GTX-Ti-M2D1GD5
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127577



The 550ti is about 5% faster or so than a 6770... one costs 80$ and the other 100$.

Both are the *best* value cards I could find that price range.

The 6770 is probably the better value of the 2, at those prices.
However the 550 comes with a wider bit bus length, so probably more memory bandwidth if the ram overclock good on it.

That depends, but if the max is $100 the most card you're gonna get is the HD 6670. If you can spend a bit more than that, though, you can get an HD 6770 for $107. The HD 6770 is 50% faster than the HD 6670, so it's well worth the additional $8.

Hd 6850.

Im already paying the 6670 (locally) @ $144. Why I said $100 is to factor in the profit margin and shipping costs of those local shops. They are selling a MSI N6770 1GBDDR5 for $167 and ASUS ATI RADEON HD6770 for $210 (jaw dropping). I am aware that you get much much better cards for this price range....

Would you guys consider buying manufacturer refurbished from ebay since newegg does not ship to Mauritius? If I can get a card shipped to Mauritius for under $140, Im all game.
Thanks for those valuable inputs.

Im drooling over this one

Local mom and pop shops are overpriced

They are priced what they are... in order to stay in business. No MnP will ever be able to compete with mail order.
