Best budget GPU for ?90?

Post by ForLibertyandFreedom »

Hi guys, I just bought a new pre-built tower - It has an i5 650 @3.2ghz/4gb DDR3 RAM/Win7
However, it has integrated graphics. Due to the fact I was on a budget, unless I had sold my bike (Which I've yet to do) I settled on this, then buying a GPU and just slotting that into it.

So, what's the best card? I'm not looking for absolutely amazing graphics, something that'll play PR:BF2/Arma smoothly (preferably on medium settings for Arma)

This will only be temporary, as I'm expecting a bonus from work in October, so would jump at a higher price, but for now. This is all I've got.

Cheers!

GTX 460 is best bang for buck GPU out there. And best option ever. Just make money for it and you will not regret it. ;)

But have you seen cost difference? With little bit of OC you have same GTX 560. And its not alot better, its just better. And he is on budget, so its best option.

Ha, cheers, Cossack. I'd knew you'd be here quickly :P

Unfortunately, I needed it quick as my PC arrives tomorrow. So I went into a shop to get it, but unfortunately they only had the GTS450 not amazing, but it's gonna do until I get my bonus :D

In here, the difference is hardly 20-30 euros. 460 costs much more than 90 in here
