Amd A6 3670 What Gfx to get?

oddsandmodsoddsandmods

Need abit of help as i`ve been out of the PC loop for a number of years as owning laptop.

I`m building a PC for my son, Got the CPU from a deal here a few weeks ago but looking at a Gfx card to add. I`ve been looking at the Different Radeon cards and it`s sending me loopy.

Every time I check the performance on Futuremarks site it says basically it can run the games but not on the reccomended game settings.

What can you guys suggest> I`m on a real budget as I was going to use the CPU`s internal Gfx but after watching Youtube vids it struggles.

The games my boy will play is MW3, Battlefield 3 and GTA 4 and possibly some new stuff in the future.

    so, what is the budget then?

    What sort of budget have you got?

    I've been using a 560ti since Christmas playing most of those games on high to full on my 2500k system, seen them on offer here recently.

    This will do nicely for hybrid crossfire and not blow the budget. You will have to dial Battlefield 3 back a bit because it's quite demanding on both GPU and CPU but the other games will play at good settings.

    The next logical step would be a HD6850 but will set you back £90 and requires one 6 pin pci-e power connector.

    My budget is about £70 Really. I will check out the card you reccomend Gavin. Last I saw I thought they were out of stock.

    ok.

    ebay for used HD6770 , that's within your budget or spend bit more on HD6850, ideally new one from that novatech deal. it's in stock now.
