Gotssdam February 23, 2015 Share Gotssdam Member February 23, 2015 So I have noticed that I haven't upgraded my graphics card in four years. I bought Elove recently and it crashes because the CryEngine does not support DX10 cards. Now I am looking for an decent card for about $150.00 or so. Any suggestions?

Madvillain February 23, 2015 Share Madvillain Member February 23, 2015 (edited) In the $150 range I would vote for this EVGA GTX 750 TI since it's running off of the new Maxwell chip. The Maxwell chip is using less power and running less hot than the current AMD cards. There are other cards in that series that are a little less but this has the dual fan to help keep it cool and the FTW cards are factory overclocked as well. However I would say the extra money to bump up to the GTX 960 is probably a good idea like Johnny said.

Johnny February 23, 2015 Share Johnny Member February 23, 2015 If you can fit it in your budget, this card is amazing too. http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Super-Clocked-Graphics/dp/B00NVODXR4/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1424710428&sr=1-1&keywords=gtx+970 But the 960 is the best value in terms of price/performance.

Gotssdam February 24, 2015 Author Share Gotssdam Member February 24, 2015 I could save up for that, but my car is currently being a money drain. Thank for the suggestions, but the 960 looks like it will meet most of my gaming needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madvillain February 24, 2015 Share Madvillain Member February 24, 2015 After doing a lot of research recently in to my upcoming video card purchase I would recommend a MSI card. EVGA is generally my go to and MSI burned me some years ago on a Motherboard but they seem to have one of the coolest, quietest and fastest/most overclockable cards out there right now.

Madvillain February 25, 2015 Share Madvillain Member February 25, 2015 980s are too much for my budget, I will be sticking with the 970 and honestly from many reviews/benchmarks the price increase to the 980 is not equal the the difference in processing power.
