Hello, looking for a decent GPU to play on medium/low settings on the latest games.

I have a typical budget gaming PC:

  • AMD A8-6600k APU 3.90ghz
  • 8 GB RAM
  • 1 TB HDD

What's your budget? Low $100s?

R7 265, R9 270/270x (depending on your budget). You can get R9 270s for pretty darn cheap if you watch for deals - like, comparably cheap to an R7 without a deal.

Use pcpartpicker.com and any of the r7 or r9 series listed above me will do. So will the 750ti but you get more bang for your buck with those AMD cards

What is your budget and what is your power supply?

If you have a shitty power supply then you are limited to gtx750 for around $100 and even better for Gtx 750Ti for around $130-140 ( and those extra $30 goes along way when comes performance wise

If you have a decent power supply then AMD 260x is a bit more than $100 and is almost on par with 750ti or even better you can get an r9 270 for $150-160

GTX 660 is also worth a look, it sits between 750Ti and 270X, and most versions need one 6-pin power connector.

@PfizersaurusRex: I game on a 660 at the moment and besides some newer games like dying light i run at 60fps on bf4 bf hardline skyrim and games like that on ultra dying light run 30 to 60 on medium.
