Since you gave no parameters in what you want or pricing an Nvidia 690.> Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 Review & Rating | PCMag.com

hahahaha ok you got me there.Yea i need one not exceeding 200-250$.

You can see what card i have right now,so i kinda need one thats at the same state(gamewise) as the card i have was 4years ago.

Okay that helps. If your not in the US you will need to find local pricing.

Your 650 watt power supply will handle most anything you want to run.

Since the 600 series Nvidias have come on the market the Nvidia 560, 570, 580 pricing has dropped considerably.
EVGA has been excellent in performance and reliability with many forum members.
EVGA has an excellent reputation for service if you do have a problem.

I am using ASUS with no problems.

So I would be looking for a Nvidia 560, 570 or 580.
If you prefer ATI/AMD I have no ideas.

I hope that helps.

Yea it has been really helpfull,i can see 560 is in my price range,so i ll try goin for that,as to what manufacturer,i dont think i ll find any evga products at local stores.

Edit:Hmm so my local stores seem to have only msi and palit versions , are those any good ?
Edit:Only asus i could find:Asus Radeon HD 7770 V2

If I had to choose it would be MSI brand.

That is an educated response to MSI overall. Palit I can't say good or bad.

Without more info and I only had those two choices it would be MSI.

Radeon is widely used but I have no experience with them good or bad.
I'm not going to bad mouth Radeon.
I have always found Nvidias meet my needs and price when I look for a new video card.

Ok so I found one that i can order :
ASUS-GeForce-GTX-560-Ti-1024-MB-ENGTX560TIDC2DI1GD5-Graphics-Card but the price with shipping will reach 250euros.Isnt that a bit too much ?

What is that US approximately? Remember you probably have VAT. We don't.

Will post a USD price if I can find one. Back in a few minutes.

Walmart US has the 560 TI. $222.99 USD

Newegg is 232.99 USD

Amazon is 214.99 USD

Maybe that will help.

nice i found it in my country for 225 euros.
Thats the card right ? nVidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II 1GB DDR5 PCI-E Dual DVI HDMI (Asus) (ENGTX560 Ti DCII/2DI/1GD5).

Edit:i checked around the internet and a lot ppl say that 560ti isnt really that much better than 560,so whats your opinion? because i could spend those 50 more euros for 2 ram sticks.Also a friend referred me to this one as well ATI Radeon HD7850 DirectCU 1GB DDR5 PCI-E Dual DVI HDMI DP (Asus)
Edit2:I am also thinking going for 7870 twin froz by msi,but will my hardware bottleneck the card?

I recommend the brand new Nvidia GTX 660 Ti. It should be within your price range, it's got kepler architecture (brand new design, low power usage etc), runs most games very well on high, and it's a decent price (Under $320 as i recall).

Sweetsaintg, regarding the bottleneck, 2.85 should be fine for a 7870, but what model of processor do you have? You can find it by going to: My Computer > System Properties > System. It should be under your system rating.

damn thought i wrote that in my specs,well anyway its q9550 at 2.83
I might as well write the prices i found for those. Gtx560ti asus is at 225 euros,gtx560 at 175 and hd7870 at 245 euros.
Edit:the cheaper gtx660ti i found by gigabyte is at 310 euros.I also have found nonTi ones by asus and gainward at 254 and 256.
Edit:i am also starting considering hd7950 by xfx at 314 euros.
Hmmm i think i overdid this, i m staying in the 250 range after so its down to these
ASUS RADEON HD7870 HD7870-DC2-2GD5-V2 - 255
(R7870 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC)msi - 245
ENGTX560 Ti DCII/2DI/1GD5(ASUS) - 225

Get the Twin Frozr I have one in the HD6870 form and it is a great running card

also if you were about to pay for a 7950 you can get a refrence 7970 for almost 20 dollars more I went that route because they work the same and it depends on your airflow and how cool you can keep refrence cards from getting to hot

This sums it up then i m getting the frozr,hope its low on heat,have to upgrade because my current one is overheating and causing bsods.. .
Can you also check if my psu has the 2 6pin connectors the hd7870 wants?I cant seem to figure out what it has the way they have written those specs.
Thanks mate.

Im almost sure that the HX650 by Corsair is more then enough I use there AX850 series and it puts out more then it actually has written on the package

This should sum it up you have 4 of them +2 if you want to turn it into a 8-pin connector

Nice, i am gonna order it tomorrow.
Thanks again. Cya.
