need help with graphics card

hi guys

i need some help for making best choice regarding my gfx card.

so here it begins:
last summer i bought new pc:
-i5 3450 3.10 quadcore ivy bridge
-8gb ddr3 corsair
-500W Raidmax PSU
-2tb
-random intel motherboard

my budget is around 200-220euros max
i've been thinking of this :

note: 1 euro=4,5 lei

thanks in advance for the support

Ce de bani au parintii tai ...
was a gift , and i had my pc last for over 7 years, and it is still running good
but i gave that one to my father

so now , i'm going to make this one run everything possible for at least as much as the old one did.

tried using intel hd graphics but my cpu gets 25% ussage and laggs(Intel hd is integrated in cpu), and if im going to buy a graphics card, i want to get smth rly good
it is not necessarly to use the entire budget :S

btw: did u enjoy the song ?

HD 7770 is enough
it has no 256 bits :(
and btw , the one from asus ??

can u explain me this difference between
Sapphire AMD Radeon
and
Asus AMD Radeon ?
Parent
Asus is faster in general
especially in this GPU are some faster specs atm
anyway if your low limit is 256, then go for GTX 560 Ti
Parent
thanks , can u make a ranking
between
AMD, ASUS,Sapphire,MSI ???

for power ?
Parent
AMD HD 7770

AMD is producer
ASUS, Sapphire, MSI are just distributors

For producers its nVidia, AMD, Intel
AMD - cheap but powerfull graphic cards
Intel - making mostly intergrated graphic cards
nVidia - pretty decent graphic cards for appropriate prize

Asus and MSI are making best components, laptops atm for gaming, sapphire is just regular distributor :)
Parent
dunno, 7850 is a bit better but I would go for 7770 since its cheaper and not that far different from 7850. You will be able to play new games on high details anyway
Parent
i want to say that, if you want a decent videocard, you wont have enough with a 500 w power supply
i was runing my gtx 550ti on 330 rofl 500 is more then enough
Parent
well im running a gtx 560 ti and i cant even play on my pc with full capacity cuz my power supply cant handle it, and mine is 750, enjoy
Parent
its ur cpu that cand handle the gfx not ur power supply rofl
Parent
well i have the 2 gyg version of the gtx 560 ti, and pls dont try to say that my i7 2600k cant handle it cuz that would be ridiculous
Parent
something is wrong with ur pc then

PSU only provides power, not enough power = problems at boot up or even system crash eventauly ur Hardware goes FUBAR
Parent
i dunno i googled the specs of the 2 gyg version and it says the video card requires 500 w by itself, and also i have alot of vans ofc that all take power.
Parent
was using 330w for a month or two with noprobs, if u use lower PSU u can risk ur whole pc not the performance tho
Parent
:D :D smth. wrong there. I am running my GTX 680 with a 650w PSU. 450 would even be more than enough.
Parent
idd PSU has nothing to do with the computers performance ROFL
Parent
tbh a pc barely uses more than 250W :\
never understood the 600+W hype shit lol
Parent
more = better and faster PC + its more quiet since the fan is pretty strong
Parent
gtx 550ti or 560
nice hf with 40 fps max at bf3 with low settings
Parent
got 40fps on ultrasuperhigh same on low, its my outdated cpu that is not able to catchup with my gfx dual core ftw with i5 or i7 i could get 100% more out of it
