Yeah, budgets cards aren't that expensive too. You should look around for a $150-200 card.

nvidia very good for gaming, i use nvidia has long  Smiley
For gaming purpose i will vote nvidia, for mining i will vote amd

can u give me recomendation NVIDIA card with budget around 50$
i want to build a gaming PC, or is that 50$ not enought??

$50 for a graphics card for gaming is not enough Undecided You need a bigger budget.
If you want to game, your graphics card is probably the most expensive component in your pc.

Correct. If you're gaming then you want to $400.00 cards, maybe two of them. The cheapo cards will work but you'll be at a disadvantage compared to players that have faster graphics.


or you can get one from the RX series.

I choose Nvidia cause it's so much better than AMD for gaming but if you're not a gamer i think AMD is a better choice

^^ Wow, relevant and useful information on BCT, who would have thought it?! That thread is exactly what he needed!

But yeah, you want to be spending a fair amount on your GPU - most gaming PCs I've built, the GPU has cost more than the rest of the computer. I would save up for a month or two and get the best Nvidia gpu you can buy. I would recommend a gtx 960 (but if you have cheap electricity and don't mind some fan noise, then you could get an old gtx 480 or something, cheap off ebay,  but sounds like an oil rig in your room).

so! what budget do I need to get vga for gaming??
right now I only play Dota on my PC, at least pls recomend me what VGA do I need to play it well Huh coz I am so clueless about VGA, never have one myself


To properly answer your question you need to include a bit more information:

  • What CPU do you have, or are looking to buy?
  • What resolution do you want to game in?
  • Will your monitor support this resolution, or are you upgrading this to support your new GPU?
  • Where in the world are you located?



1. i used an old PC with Core 2 duo CPU 3 ghz
2. 1366x768, this is my monitor resolution
3. I dont plan to upgrade monitor
4. I am indonesia



This thread will give you some ideas:

http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2559863/desktop-build-dota-max-settings-60fps-1366x768-resolution.html

From that thread, I'd be looking to purchase a Nvidia GT 730 or equivalent. They can be picked up for around $85 AUD.

If you're going to upgrade your PC in the near future though, I'd recommend buying something mid tier like a Nvidia GTX 1050 / 1060 or an AMD RX 460 / 470 to get better longevity from the card.

I'm hoping amd might actually encourage intel to do something by bringing out something that eats their market share with zen

I usually go with AMD to support the underdog.

 Smiley

That can't be the only reason right?
in the not so distant future, nvidia will be the underdog.

I would wait before doing any new builds. Am hoping myself to do some form of Zen + Vega build this year

I've been building my own PCs since the 90s and I've always been a fan of AMD CPUs due to their bang-for-buck. My first PC actually used a Cyrix CPU.

Currently I have an AMD FX-8350 which I have running at 4.8 GHz and on occasion I pump it up to 5.0 GHz. I've had this CPU for about five years now and Ryzen will be my next upgrade when it releases this year. I think Ryzen will surprise quite a few people, including Intel.

I also have an Intel 3570K system which is my first ever Intel based PC. I built this solely because I was able to pick up a motherboard and CPU cheaply. I would never pay full price on an Intel system purely because AMD represents better value. Yes, Intel has had the performance edge on AMD for a while now, but when it comes to real world performance the extra dollars you need to drop on the Intel system are not worth it for the average home PC user.

Regarding GPUs, currently I run both a tri-SLI GTX 670 and a CrossFire R9-280X configuration. I've probably had more Nvidia cards than AMD but when Vega releases this year I will also look at upgrading to this.

Like you I have been building PCs for a while. I find that the intel CPUs are superior to the AMD. With AMD I always had cooling problems, the standard fan was never enough. My FX-8350 needed a liquid cooler to prevent that. With Intel I just use the cooling fan that comes with the cpu. For regular computing/playing games it runs cooler and never throttles compared the the AMD without a liquid cooler.



I can't say that I've ever experienced a cooling problem with any PC I've ever built with the stock cooling solution. Even when pushing slight over-clocks I've found the cooling sufficient. I do make sure that the case has adequate air flow though, by ensuring it has adequate case fans and is not sitting in an area that restricts air flow to the case.

With my current FX-8350 setup I've moved to water cooling, primarily because I've been pushing higher over-clocks that required the extra cooling.

For the record I'm also based in Australia, so its not like my PC never sees the odd 40 degree ambient day.  Grin

In my country AMD is way cheaper than Nvidia cards, and when it comes to CPU AMD is also cheaper but Intel is way faster, so it depends on what you are looking price vs performance.
