My ZOTAC GTS 450 1GB GDDR5 gave up on me a couple of months back. So, now I require the best card my PSU can handle. (Within my budget, of course)

Sapphire HD 7790 1GB is best for your budget.

Hm, I was thinking the R7 260X.

R7 260 not worth the price, instead get Gtx 650ti boost @ 12k with eyes closed

this is a better choice than the R7 260X.

I agree, but won't the mantle api come into play in future games?

How so?

7790 performs better/almost equally good compared to the other card at a lower price.

mantle, is almost dead.

none of the devs apart from a very few took it for development.

Ok, let's forget about mantle for now but won't the 1gb vram on the 7790 fall short in future games? How much extra would a 2gb version cost me?

1GB more is enough for 1600X900 gaming,2GB or more vram is required to play at resolution higher than 1080p

If you wish to crank the settings to Very high, you may need more than 1gb else its' sufficient. Some games like Crysis 3, GTA IV, BF4 might use more Vram, but you can lower your details a bit.

PS : Someone deleting my posts ? I advise moderators to inform me before doing so. Thanks

nope some database errors i think most of the recent post are gone :\

I usually aim for atleast 30+ fps while gaming. If that can be achieved at ultra settings in any particular game then I'd want to crank the settings all the way up, and if 1gb vram restricts me from doing so, then I'd rather go for 2gb. But for that I may have to increase my budget by ~2k which is gonna be a problem. What should I do?

get 650ti boost 2gb. worth the money spent.

1600x900 requires at most 1GB ram on ultra. i am playing SplinterCellBlacklist on ultra. uses ~800MB at max.

i use the 7770

AC 4 and COD block ops 2 utilized 1 gb ram fully on my 7770. getting 2gb is a wise decision imo.

 

[anirbandd]

blackops2??

you sure? coz it sure didnt take up that much on mine..

anyway.. if the OP has the money, he is free to pick.

as it is, its logically better to get the 2gb for only some more money.

i remember so. most shooting games eat up more vram.

 

[saswat23]

Go for GTX-650Ti 2GB. Best option at 12k.
