| 1198321 | 2011-04-29 05:16:00 | Hi All, Looking at getting a graphics card for my PC. Will be used for gaming, video editing and general purpose use. Doesn't have to be anything to full-on. My budget is $150. Is the Sapphire Radeon HD6670 (512MB GDDR5 PCI-E HDMI / DVI-D / VGA ) any good? Cheers. |

| 1198322 | 2011-04-29 05:19:00 | Ummm, not really!, in fact its probably a waste of time.....you certain wont be gaming on it!! www.anandtech.com Save up a bit more money, you need at least a AMD5770 or better yet HD6850, the latter is around $300.... |

| 1198323 | 2011-04-29 05:24:00 | Thanks SolMiester. That's the feedback I'm looking for... I'm guessing "gaming" and "$150" shouldn't be used in the same sentence! |

| 1198324 | 2011-04-29 06:25:00 | My HD5770 runs pretty well, was about $300 when I got it, I think they should be cheaper now. Obviously the newer (HD6000 series) cards will be better |

| 1198325 | 2011-04-29 06:31:00 | there was an Nvidia chip listed as the $150 GPU that can run crysis 2 (and pretty well at that too), have a look on the nvidia site. idk what it would retail for in NZ though | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1198326 | 2011-04-29 06:44:00 | I'd go with ASUS or Gigabyte. If budget is an issue sometimes last years card can be the way to go. Depends on what games exactly. Take a look at the VGA charts on tomshardware and see what suits. |

According to some sources HD6750 and HD6770 are almost identical to HD5750 and HD5770, respectively (except for the name, and perhaps a slight OC; but that's it). Also, NVIDIA's 550Ti is nearly identical to GTS 450, but with 192bits of memory bandwidth instead of 128bit bandwidth. (In fact GTX460 is probably the best nvidia card around to buy) Nevertheless, when it comes to gaming HD5770 or GTS450 is the entry-level. But HD5770 beats GTS450, just to let you know :) |

| 1198328 | 2011-04-30 15:18:00 | Well, maybe not faster but maybe better as they are newer - new features etc... (maybe) | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1198329 | 2011-04-30 22:44:00 | Save up $20 more. Get a 5770. www.computerlounge.co.nz | icow (15313) | ||
| 1198330 | 2011-05-01 06:01:00 | Yeah +1 for a 5770 (or 6770). Have a look here (www.anandtech.com) for a comparison... :D |
