Graphic Card! Need suggestions

[Skarm1337]

Hello! I have saved enough money for a graphic card (around 700$) and I need to know which graphic card would fit for shaders/shadows etc., The ones I know are:
ATI Raedon
Nvidia GeForce Series
-End-

That's all.
Feel free to give me suggestions,criticism or anything else about graphic cards.
Thanks!
P.s I have a and e-300 APU with Raedon(tm) HD Graphics 1.30 GHz(this is all when I bought the computer [aka:default])

Do you want to spend a lot or just enough on a graphics card? I personally wouldn't spend more than around $300 for a graphics card. What are your other PC specs, Processor, and power supply?

Right now I have an AMD 7950 3GB and its doing me pretty good with shaders and 4x AA. Here are my suggestions for cards, in order of performance and price from low to high

HIS AMD 7770 $135
SAPPHIRE AMD 7950 $300
GIGABYTE GTX 670 $400 (Comes with Borderlands 2 for free)

Again I wouldn't go higher than the AMD 7950 but if you play other games besides Blockland or are just a hardcore gamer then go ahead an spend a bit more.

You can play Blockland well on cards in the $100-$200 range. At your budget its impossible to go wrong.

Blockland shaders aren't some amazing new top-of-the-line graphical feature. They can run on any modern dedicated gaming card.

I agree with Altiris in that you should buy what you need. Unless you are a hard core gamer who demands the most recent FPS games in ultra details, you aren't gonna need anything more than $200 or $400 in budget probably.

I concur with Altiris on this. Don't throw the whole amount on a graphics card; I've built entire gaming computers for around that price!

[quadilious]

yea bl doesnt really require much of a graphics card so dont sweat it out and waste all your money

[Alkan]

Radeon 6670 worked just fine with Blockland, when I had that card. I now have Intel i5 3450 and GTX 660. Never lag.

Holy forgetstuff where did you come from

Anyway, what Icy and Altris said - You don't need much for Blockland. I ran it on a Radeon XPRESS 200 Series back in good ol' 08, followed by a Nvidia 9500GS - and eventually a GTX 460 and now a GTX 670, soon to be SLI. Blockland doesn't need anything more than a 460 though.

1 dont go amd unless your poor
also why 670 go 680 and overclock or 675 in laptops

[Muzzles56]

I have a Radeon 7770 and I can run max settings fine

[Ipquarx]

I have a GTX 560 and can run on max settings on basically every single game out there, and it's well under your budget.

Save up $100 more and get dual Radeon 7970s so you can be the coolest person on the face of the planet.

[Zeblote]

around 700$

entire gaming computers for around that price!

Uh
Impossibru!

Worst advice I've ever heard lol.

Lolo

What is the OP's current rig anyway? I'd lol if it had a poverty CPU or something ridiculous.

Uh
Impossibru!

Most games don't require "a lot" to run, you can get a smooth enough FPS at average details on a single screen with a cheaper card. You don't need an enthusiast card unless you want ultra settings with new releases.

[skill4life]

Uh
Impossibru!

uh
very possible

But then it's not a high end gaming computer
