Hi Guys,
My Friend is looking for a latest graphics card
His budget is 7k max but he might make it to 8k :wink:
this is surely big upgrade for him as he was on geforce 7300gt 256mb :shock:

cards we are looking for are

HD 6770
HD 7750 or HD 7770 - need help here with 7 series as they are getting mix reviews
or Only if he gets 8k nvidia 550ti :mrgreen:
Please help in choosing better card
is it good to take 7750 instead of 6770 6-6.5k ? coz 7770and 550ti are having 8k price tag on them
Thank you
A

HD 7750 or HD 7770.

GTX 550 Ti sucks.

Get the MSI HD 6770 @ 6.5K. It is available in SMC. Performance wise it stands between HD 7750 and 7770.

+1 .. Either pick 6770 or pick 7770.

@ OP - if your friend's budget is not a penny more than 8k then consider getting HD6790 @ 7.95k ;-)

6770 or 6790 should be your choice.

HD 7750 or HD 6770 would be a better choice for your budget

HD6770 is better. it needs external power but cause of that, you can overclock more. also in case of HD7750, overclock is almost useless. hardly any performance gain.

OP's friend has Seasonic S12II 520w - so OCing even a HD6790 won't be an issue.

Yep. That PSU is more than enough and 6790 > 6770 anyway.
