Hardware The better video card for the money

Dialga.The.Maste · Mar 15, 2011

Which Video would be the best
I have 3 options
Nvidia GTS 250 512MB GDDR5
ATI HD 5670 1GB GDDR5
ATI HD 5770 1GB GDDR5

My setup is
Processor: Intel i5-2500 3.3 GHz http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=52210
Motherboard: MSI H67MA-E45 http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H67MA-E45.html
Ram:4GB DDR3
OS:W7 x64

I want to run games like Starcraft 2 and CnC 4 with at least medium settings @ 1920x1080 Resolution

I would recommend going with the 5770 and if you have a bit more cash, moving up to the ATI 6850.

If possible, can you put the prices of the cards from whatever store you are going to buy them at, to make the best for money choice easier?

Ok the prices are
ATI HD5770 1gb ddr5 Php 7250
Nvidia GTS250 512ddr3 256bit Php 4200
ATI HD5670 1gb ddr5 128bit Php 5050

Wow with THAT system your videocards are way too bad. You might wanna consider 2x 5770 in crossfire, 6850 in crossfire or 6870 or something, because otherwise it would be a pity.

and maybe a GTX 570.

No doubt the 5770!
But like Jasper07 said, with a system like that, you might want to be interested in a better card. To go crossfire would be a bit expensive guessing that you're on a budget but you should really consider to go for a radeon 6850 or GTX 460 if you want the most performance possible for your money.

Still, with that being said, the 5770 will fill your needs. It isn't a bad card!

I have the 5670...

It's kind of good. It'll run any Dolphin game on MAX settings without slowing the emu down, but... It's only worth it if you're looking for the low temps and low energy usage (which I was).

Anything better than that needs a better card. If you have a system that good, consider a high-6000 series card... or an NVIDIA 500-series card.

Unfortunately I spent all my money on the rest of the system and little to spare. I can only afford up to the 5770
