Poorfag here trying to figure out whats the best card for playing all or most games at-at least 1366x768 resolution >= 30fps. Was thinking the r7 250x. Thoughts?

RX 460

>>56031460
Used 7850/7870. Can pick them up for $60-70 on a good day. The 265 was a rebranded 7850. 270X a 7870.
>>
If you're a poorfag, you shouldn't be wasting your money on electronic games. sort your life out. Come back when you can't decide which good card you want.
>>
>>56031460
You should shoot a little higher imo. Ive seen a used gtx 950 for $95 on Craigslist.

If OP can't buy a 480 then he needs to kill himself for even trying to get into gayming.
>>
Check ebay for dank deals. I just saw a gtx770 go for about 95 after shipping the other day because nobody else bid on it. Just bid low and don't go too high.

> best card for poorfag
used card, if extremely poor go for a 750ti.
>>
>>56031585
some people just want to chill playing games, not necessarily play crysis battlefield witcher on ultra.
no need for a 1080 if you want to play older total war games, elder scrolls, dota, csgo mount & blade etc...
>>

at that price range just buy used dawg. you'll get so much more bang for your buck
otherwise get a 460

>>56031702
Fine, of you're that poor and have no plans on upgrading from that shitty resolution, look for r9 270 / gtx770. Of you really want to, Rx 460 for the new poorfag shit.
>>
>>56031494
I'm not OP but I'm in the same situation. I just need a temporary card until I get a 490 next year. Should I get a R9 270 if I find one for the same price as a 7870? Or will 7870 be enough for The Witcher 3 at high settings? Someone answer me quick because I'll buy it today.
>>
>>56031780
Wow, you have nothing.

Yeah, RX 460
>>
Gtx 750ti. Low power usage. Decent OC headroom.
>>
>>56031861
Alright thanks anon!
>>
>>56031841
>Should I get a R9 270 if I find one for the same price as a 7870?
Yes. The 270/270X weren't complete rebrands, they came with faster memory. The 270 is 100MHz lower core clock than a 7870/270X but it's the same chip so you should have a 100% success rate at overclocking it to the same frequency.
>>
>>56031884
>recommending an older generation card when the RX 460 matches that
>>
>>56031659
Sapphire one. Its just better. Also moar fans
>>
>>56031903
I was figuring pure price point. I mean a brand new 750ti usually goes for $130. Used could easily be $85-$100. And at 1366x768, even a 750ti overkill.
>>
>>56031905
What PSU wattage would you recommend for this card? Don't want my shit to shit.
>>
>>56032003
600- 650 watt psu should do fine.
>>
>>56032003
The RX 460 uses under 75w, so it doesn't need power connectors, the psu wattage really depends on the rest of your system.
>>56032026
Unless he will upgrade in the future, no.
>>
>>56032041
My build is super simple low wattage. Its an a4-5000 cpu . I figured 400 Watt PSU would be enough.
>>
Not card but APU

A build with an A8-7600 can be done for ~$200

You can actually play many new games on low 1080p settings and get 30+ FPS. Just make sure to buy 2 sticks of 1866 MHz DDR3 RAM and put them in dual channel mode and make sure the motherboard is actually using them at 1866 MHz.
>>
>>56031780
>Puerto Rico
>Expecting to find used gpus in classificados online or craiglist

Your shit out of luck everyone here is a fucking peasent.

And i already sold my old gpus so I can't cut you a deal fellow puertobro. Unless you wanna pay $200 for a 970 memecard, but might as well buy a new 480.
>>
>>56032026

With a 460? Fuck no, even a 400w will be enough and still have power to spare.

I believe peasant is an understatement.
>>
>>56032003
If you have any reasonable intel cpu you can get 400 watt psu no problem look for a good brand theres a 430 watt evga with good warranty for like $30. Honestly though the 470 is a better value way more perf per dollar i would hold off and make $40 more dollars for it.
>>
>>56032064
400w is definitely enough. For a quality PSU get one from EVGA, Flower Power, or Seasonic. (Corsair is okay, not the best)
>>
Since this thread is kind of relevant to my interests. You lads think the AMD Rx 460 could work in a Dell Optiplex 790 SFF? I know the 750 ti can run fine with no added PSU at all. The machine has a 250 W PSU.
>>
>>56032122
>Flower Power

Don't you mean Super Flower?
>>
>>56032108
I know, why you think they closed down literally every PC part selling place in this forsaken island and now we have to pay shipping up the ass.
>>
>>56032150
Yes, you know what I mean.
>>
Hey, I have a 1366x768 monitor too, but unlike OP, I have a bit more money to spend.
I want all slides cranked up >=60fps. What card would that be?
>>
>>56032174
R9 480 is basically overkill for 768p and should be able to completely max out every game at 60fps plus headroom for vsync so no tearing.

I wouldn't be susprised if even the 460 can handle it.
>>
>>56032212
Use amazon man, at least you pay like $11 the only downside is that it's USPS so enjoy getting packages in 2 weeks.
>>
>>56032237
Half the shit I want on there isn't available to be shipped to Puerto Rico.
>>
>>56032174
I have a GTX 950 which is a little better than the RX 460, and I play on 1080p medium and get 60fps on all my games (skyrim, fallout 4, etc.). At 768p the RX 460 is enough, even on ultra.

O shit. Awesome, thanks!
>>
>>56032256
>>56032308
imo unless you are in a position you cannot save another $100, the R9 460 plain sucks and the used market sucks here. Try to save for a 480.
>>
Seriously, don't buy 460, it's shit.
470 is the way to go for poorfag
>>
>>56032357
The way the poorfag is meant to play
>>
>>56031460
Low end cards are pretty shit, go second hand if nobody already said.

Save money and get NVIDIA™ 1080. It's only like going to cost you about 2weeks of work. Don't worry you don't need food or to pay bills when you get the skills to pay the bills with NVIDIA™ GeForce experience®.

Why not just buy a 750ti for the same price and not worry about the CPU overhead?
>>
>>56032683
hope you enjoy it OP. I'll be buying one as well to use for a few months until I get my windfall in october. I've been researching all day. You will 100% be able to play shit at 768p as I can play everything I want at 1080p with it.
>>
>>56032683
Good luck, faggot
>>
>>56031460
just stop being a fag and get a rx 470
>>
>>56032106
>Rx460
it should run on 350 or 300 watt PSU
I had GTX630 and R7 250 OC run on that and it did really well.

clearly people are thick as fuck here on /g/
>>
Ok, unfortunately this is the only graphics cards thread up.

Should I get the Gigabyte G1 RX470, or the ASUS STRIX RX470?

Gigabyte
>1230mhz boost
>3x DP
>3 yr warrant
>Looks better
>My other shit is Gigabyte

ASUS
>1270mhz
>1x DP
>3 yr warranty
>Looks worse

I'm thinking I might be able to squeeze a few extra mhz out of the ASUS, but is it worth it?
>>
>>56034205
Both are the same price

Bought a new 750ti last year for $80. Feels good!

>>56031903
See

>>56033433

Paragraph 5 of OP
>>
Buy a used card if you're so poor. All of the new low end cards are trash.
>>
>>56032064
>Its an A4-5000 apu
sorry OP that 1.5ghz ancient lump will bottleneck almost anything.
>>56032070
is probably the cheapest option to game and the igpu is essentially the same as a r7 250 with a lower clock that can be increased in bios of A78+ mobo to almost match at stock or near stock voltage. check some reviews, this apu is pretty damn awesome for $70


Seriously start buying in increments but use the highest mhz the board can handle 2400mhz+ is best. just use your current build for half life era games, retro emulation and shitposting. or sell when the new pc is built

>>
>>56035022
Alright so I took a look at their pricier APU's and I'm actually really fucking impressed! I think I might get a a10-7700k and call it a day. It seems to work just well with all the games on my list

>Total War
>TF2
>CS:GO
>Mount and Blade
>Borderlands 2

I believe i'll pick this up instead.
