Or the 7750 instead of the 6770. It is new and performs quite well without needing any power.

IMO, its the HD 7750 as it requires no external power so you will not have to change your PSU but if you want to, go for Corsair VS 500W v2 at 2.1k and a HD6770 @ ~6.4k. as suggested by Topgear

Seriously? I won't put the HD7750 on a El Crappo 250 W psu.

@OP Go with TopGear's suggestion.

Any good brand like sapphire, msi, h.i.s.. But avoid brands like xfx. If you can find go for msi hawk version. Also you are getting a new psu right?

Dude, it doesn't even need external power support but sorry I didn't look at that El Cheapo PSU :p..

@OP - Nice buy, those two things are best for the price and you will see that HD 6770 is a really nice card..AFAIK You should have bought from MSI but you can also go for Sapphire.

@Serpent16 - Gigabyte HD 7750 OC can compete with the HD 6770, But HD 6770 OCed ?? Any Question upon that ??

It certainly cannot compete clocks of HD 6770 OCed.. So OP, buy the ^770.. :)

@ OP - just to inform you - you can get a HD6770 for as low as 6.1k which makes it a great deal

MSI R6770-MD1GD5

for the PSU you can try theitwares.

Better buy a GTX 460 or a 6850 and you will be able to max out games at 1600x900. Look up for these cards on forums. They might be up for sale.a

^^ getting such deal is good but they need to have proper warranty as most of the new gpus comes with 3 years warranty.

you should be able to get the msi 6850 power edition around 8.7k and its an amazing gpu

^^ if he spends 8.7k on GPU, then he will not be able to buy his PSU. So, HD 6770 OC is the way to go...

oops! my bad didn't see that he had a 250w psu.....
i guess a corsair CX430 V2 (2k)
and 6670/6770 might be a good solution not sure about the Nvidia line up though...

Corsair VS 450W at 2.1k and a HD6770 @ ~6.4k.

you go for this one

For Nvidia the only GPU OP can opt for is GTS 450 but HD6770 offers better performance.

Unless you are comparing AMDs something normal to nVidia's Kepler, AMD wins..

Shortly answered, get HD 6770, much better choice for gaming that GTS 450..

HD 7750 consumes less watts but my friend want performance.

so HD 6770 or HD 7750 which one give best performance while playing game like assassin's creed 3,modern warfare3,battlefield 3 etc

performance matter :cool:

both performs almost same. grab the cheaper one and overclock it a bit.

I would still recommend HD 6770 as it requires external power source and thus can be Overclocked more than the HD 7750.

Also you will get 6770 cheaper than 7750.

So, go for 6770

performance matter :cool:

the power consumption difference of HD7750 and HD6770 is 40W - so HD7750 generates less heat as well

at stock the performance difference is neck to neck - also keep in mind that HD6770 has 50Mhz and 100 Mhz GPU and memory clock speed advantage

AnandTech - Bench - GPU12

but as HD6770 needs additional power ( through a pci-e power cnnector ) it can offer and can be OCed more compared to HD7750 and HD5770 both - so if you are only looking for performance only then HD6770 is what you need but you may need to OC the gpu to feel the difference with a HD7750.
