Dear Digit brothers,

I have a Gigabyte GA-880GM-USB3L motherboard, I would love to put a nice graphics card below 8k, do certain brands work better than others with Gigabyte? or maybe better, can anyone advice me a card please?

All the best

Your PSU? Try to post your complete specs. That'll be better.

Put 600 More and get a HD6850 and there is no such thing as X brand works best with Y Company Mobo.

^^ that's the best solution provided Op has a suitable PSU.

For a blow 8k gfx card look for HD6790 though - even this needs a god PSu.

yes +1 for 6850.op just increase you budget a bit and you will never regret.it is worth the extra money you will pay but before that please post your entire system config mainly the PSU or SMPS.

Oeps, sorry, was a few days offline,

processor: AMD Athalon X4 645
psu: Corsair 450 which I will upgrade to 650W

It looks like HD6850 is the one to go for unless somebody would now state that my cpu/psu is not ok for that.

Thank you all so much for your time! I was into assembly more than 20 years ago, times where absolutely not all graphics cards would behave properly into a specific motherboard. These times seem to be over now and that's why I didn't get the required google results I suppose.

Thanks again and love to you all

VX450 will handle HD6850, if thats the PSU you have.

pick any of those ..
Flipkart: MSI AMD/ATI R6850 Cyclone 1GD5 Power Edition/OC 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Graphics Card

or

Flipkart: Sapphire AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6770 1 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card: Graphics Card

both cards are capable of handle anything with decent fps.

no need for a new PSu unless you are going to OC the CPU/GPU - at stock speed the PSU will serve you really good for many upcoming years.
