David Mullaney Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've heard surprisingly good things about the new entry level cards from nVidia - the 640/650I've got a slightly older 570 myself which has been great for me, and they can probably be picked up for just over 200 these days.

xKitarux Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Check newegg. They have some amazingly good GPU for under 200, personally tho, id stick to amd if your going to game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgogeta4 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Still haven't seen a good as deal as the GTX 460 1GB for $50-60 (in terms of price to performance ratio). However, the GTX 660 2GB is occasionally just under $200, which would give you the best performance at your (maximum) budget. Picking nVidia vs. AMD depends on what games you play. Check GPU reviews since some games are clearly better on one platform, while others are better on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Lawrence Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm sure you'll be able to get a good deal around Black Friday on the 6xx series. I just picked up a used 580 for 180 bones. I'm sure a 660ti or even a 670 can most likely be had close to 200 bones in the next couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best deals around I found today was GTX 560 TI TwinFrozr III 448 cores for $119 after $100 rebate. I am soooo tempted to grab one to upgrade my old desktop.

pewpewbangbang Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 If you can cough up an extra $10-20 the 7870 is a pretty good investment. Plus it comes with free far cry 3.

sgogeta4 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 As I stated previously, what games you play really is the determining factor to whether or not you should pick AMD vs. nVidia. IMO though, the nVidia is a better overall choice since more games than not do better on it than with AMD, plus it's cheaper and is more efficient (less power consumption, lower noise) - comparing stock solutions that is.

na1nsxr Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 There is no way I'd get a Fermi at this point, even if my budget was $200. I would find some way to get a Kepler or wait and save up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arathasdr Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 personally I prefer Radeon video cards. Yes I know i'm the minority in some parts with this . The Radeon 7870 is a very VERY nice card. It really lets you overclock the crud out of it and I think personally you wont get much more muscle for 200.00 bucks. I had the 7970 and it was just overkill. (Especially after overclocking it) Wrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawsh Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Best graphics card for under $200 is probably the 7770. It's a small card but packs quite a bit of power. I'm not a big fan of AMD GPUs but it seems the GTX650 isn't as powerful as the 7770 and the 660TI is more around $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicBlob Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I got a MSI Twin Frozr III 660 2gb for $195 on newegg (not sure if that's still the price). The 660 is a GREAT card and definitely worth it for $200.Here it is, guess I bought it at the wrong time! But I would definitely advise getting this card. Even while playing Battlefield 3 or Far Cry 3 and putting my ear right next to it (I have it as an external graphics card) I could barely hear a thing.MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - Newegg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgogeta4 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Almost every 660 Ti was under $200 at Newegg a little while ago if you paid with a Visa. A lot has changed since the OP posted in the summer of 2011 though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el3m Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think 7850 and 660 are often bit over 200 USD, so the current options from AMD and Nvidia are7790 ~160usd650 TI Boost model ~170usd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyboardMonkey Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 GTX 560 Ti or GTX 660 according to this: PassMark Videocard Value Chart - Performance / Price of Videocards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynik Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I'm strongly considering picking up a 7870. Right now you get FC 3 Blood Dragon, Bioshock & Tomb Raider for free with this deal:HIS H787F2G2M Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Newegg.comMy biggest concern would be that everyone is usually so negative about Radeon cards and Crossfire. However, this review shows you get a ton more value with the Radeons:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Review - Performance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killdemon Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 If you prefer nvidia gtx650ti boost is my favorite. In case you are AMD fanboy as I am than 7870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman900 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 lawl at the old thread. Just for information purposes if anyone else was considering the topic, I'd put the gtx 660 or 660TI at the top of my list. A used 7950 would also be a great choice. I had a 7870 and didn't care for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theurden Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 i think 7950 is the best choice, more fps min than nvidia cards and if you overlock it, wins all the other.Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 If you get a 7950 for 200 bucks....Anyway, ancient thread. I don't think the OP is still looking.- closed - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
