Hi All,
Lately I've been trying to use my onboard GPU (the one of the Core i5-2400S CPU) in order to play games and got a very low end gaming experience.
I'd like to add a new GPU that will handle games like Crysis, Fifa2011 etc., but still in Idle or when displaying a FullHD/BR movie will be quiet enough not to interrupt the quiet movie scenes (sounds like a real challenge ...)
My current setup is:
Intel Core i5-2400S 2.50GHz
Scythe Big Shuriken Low Profile CPU Cooler SCBSK-1000
Gigabyte ‎H67MA-UD2H-B3 MOB
Crucial RealSSD C300 64GB SATA III
HDD SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA x 2 PSU Enermax Modu87+ 500W
Silverstone Grandia GD05 with 3x120mm fans - 2 are active
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 DDR3 1333 CL8
After reviewing few cards I came up with the following potential GPUs:
1. ASUS ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5
2. MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC
3. MSI N560GTX Twin Frozr II/OC
All of the three seems pretty good in the gaming point of view and pretty cool and quiet in the noise tests (used this forum and techpowerup.com website)
I'd like to get your recommendations regarding my request and if you have any better cards to recommend - even better (just let me know why is it better ... 😀 )
Please just make sure the following requirements are ok:
1. Dimensions limits:
Height - 112mm
Depth - 40mm
Length - 270mm
2. <300$
Thanks in advance,
Liron.
