I'm needing a new card as my Gigabyte 560TI OC seems to be dyeing. It crashes randomly when I play DX11 based games no "fix" has worked for me. Screen will flash black followed by it going back to normal a few second later or by just locking the entire computer and its consistent.

I am looking at these 3 cards and want to know what's best.

What resolution do you play with?


Because all I'm seeing is 4GB VRAM GPUs and you really won't see any benefits unless you play at 1440p or more.

And if you play at such resolutions, I really would go for a more powerful GPU.

But seeing how you used a GTX 560Ti until now, I guess you're more like 900p -1080p, in which case the difference between 2GB and 4GB VRAM is not really worth forty bucks imho.

Techless One here, so take this with salt. I have heard that 4GB is more for those that record; not really for general play. The advice above seems solid.

I just realized if you use smaller monitors you don't need to use the best Graphic Card out there. My cousin has a 4:3 monitor that runs 1280*1024 smoothly. It equals 1,310,720 pixels comparing to a 1920*1080 monitor that has 2,073,600 pixels... around 64% of the bigger monitor. So it consumes less power and graphic card abilities.
If you're not that obsessed with screen size you can save some money here and still enjoy the good graphic and high frame rate.

But there is another point I want to share. Many old games don't support 16:9 or 16:10 resolutions, so they use their own 4:3 resolutions: 640*480, 800*600, 1024*768 and 1280*1024 (rarely 1600*1200).
If your monitor limit is 1600*900 (like my monitor) you can't enjoy 1280*1024 resolution because the highest resolution available is 1024*768. If I had waited more or spent more I would buy a 1920*1080 monitor that can can support the awesome 1280*1024 resolution.

I'd look at the GTX 660 ti.  The 760 is not much more powerful and you'll save a bit of money.

$350 is max budget. I would like to keep it below.

I have a 23 inch moniter that has a max resolution of 1920x1080.

I was also looking at these cards too.

The first MSI card looks good, but I know little of benchmarks.

I wouldn't pay more than $200 for a GTX 760 and you certainly don't need 4GB on a video card like that.

I'd rather get a 2GB GTX 770 like the ones you've listed. Those were going for as little as $288 after Christmas.
