I'm sure there's a general questions thread around here somewhere but I can't seem to find it. Getting back into PR this weekend after a break and I'm looking to update my aging AMD Radeon HD 5450 (which runs PR okay on medium) for something that will let me run it nicely on full.
I'm running on a bit of a budget (especially after purchasing a Steelseries 9H to be able to get back to PR at all), so does anyone more technologically minded than myself know if I can run PR on max at a good FPS with a Sapphire Radeon HD6770?
I've got a computer that otherwise has no trouble with PR or Forgotten Hope. BF2 mods are all I play and plan to play, so I don't need to worry if the card is good for newer games. If this won't do the trick, I'd appreciate any suggestions for cards in the $200 or less range that would work good.
Will a Sapphire Radeon HD6770 run PR well at max settings?

Re: Will a Sapphire Radeon HD6770 run PR well at max settings?
That card is way overpriced.
I'd suggest grabbing a GTX 750 Ti
More than twice as fast for same price:
Radeon HD 6770 vs GeForce GTX 750 Ti
or GTX 750 Ti OC if you want to spend a few more bucks.
more than 2.2 times as fast for a few bucks more.
Look for
Nvidia GTX 750 Ti OC
or
Nvidia GTX 750 Ti (Only 60Watts, amazingly enough)
or
Nvidia GTX 660
or
AMD R9 270X ( rebadged Radeon HD 7870 ) 180 W
or
AMD R9 270 (rebadged Radeon HD 7870 OC revision) 150 W
or
AMD R7 265X ( rebadged Radeon HD 7850)
IDK which online store you prefer, but NCIX.CA has several on sale this week, all more powerful, less energy consuming cards than the HD6770.

If you prefer amazon.ca , the #1 selling video card right now is a 750 Ti

I wonder what the 750 Ti would do in SLI...
(dual, triple or quattro) !
Probably 4x 750 Ti = performance of 1x GTX 770 ? What u guess, Litoralis?

Did I miss something? Is GTX 750Ti SLI possible now?
Or are we speaking hypothetically?

Actually it is mentioned in the description of the amazon link up there... But I guess it is a mistake then... :/
