Best Graphics Card for ~$150 Today

[MrRiplEy[H]]

I hate to semi-hijack this thread but i'm also looking for an upgrade.

Im currently running an old GT240 and i'm satisfied with how it runs (heck I only play world of tanks, star trek online and skyrim right now and it runs them all fine but with the occasional burp)... but I know any game that comes out soon like mechwarrior online will choke it.


So im looking for something between 50 and 100 bucks upgrade from it.

Any suggestions appreciated. I'm not looking for a powerful card, just something thats considered mid-range today.

Take a look at the Tomshardware chart I linked before. It's very truthful in the evaluations. For 100 bucks you're not going to get any rocket but you can use the hierarchy chart to see how much better or worse that new 100 dollar card is compared to your old GT240.

A 7750 will fit your budget. It also doesn't require a 6 pin connector. Single slot design as well.

I got my GEFORCE GTX 660 OC today, My system is a Giga Z68a-D3-F8 MB with a I5-2400 and 8 gi ram, I'm replaceing a GTX 460. The 460 gave me a3Dmark11 score of 3900, with the 660 at hit 6300 and that is without the 3.0 graf . I have a I5-3570 coming tomorrow that will open the 3.0. wil post how it runs tomorrow night. The 660 uses less power that most of the new cards today, only one 6 pin connection.

Yeah I'm currently figuring out nVidia's present day numbering scheme, understanding the money/value's worth between a GTX 550 or 560.

If the GTX 560 is one of your choices, look at the GTX 560 Ti.  More for the buck over the standard GTX 560.
