Which GPU Should I Get My Brother For Christmas?

[Opyders]

Here are his specs:

>1680x1050
>i3 3220
>fractal 1000
>asrock h61 something
>8gb 1600mhz dual channel
>1tb 7200rpm
>250gb 7200rpm
>CX430

He wants to play Chivalry: Medieval Warfare mainly

My budget is $100-$150.

What's he got now?

I'd say 7770. 7850 if you can find a rebate on one. (They're a little over your price range.)

 

[Opyders]

He's just using the integrated hd 2500.

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

If you absolutely cannot go over $150, then the GTX 650 Ti. If you can go $20 over, the HD 7850.

Alright. Fuck it. It's fucking Christmas. I'll get the 7850.

You, my friend, are a quality brother.

Here's one from Amazon for $180 (EDIT: actually, $230). Its a little better in quality (more memory and better cooler) than this $170 from Newegg.

The Amazon link says the card is $232.

+1 to the XFX 7850 1GB from newegg, that one's actually $150 after rebate. And 1GB VRAM is fine for 1680x1050

Agree with lehtv, the 1Gb 7850 is plenty at that resolution.

Yea $149.99 AR shipped for a 7850 will be a great upgrade for him.

So nice of you. I bet he will be happy whatever card you choose!
7770 is strong for its price and he can Xfire later if needed.
