| Arkaign said: I can't and won't deny that newer and better cards are just plain better, but old cards can still work well with sane settings unless they're super outdated (460 768mb for example is a tough one these days at 1080p, but works well at 720p). I run SLI 770 4GB FTW Edition cards, with an eye on a pair of 970OC 4GBs on BF. But I am the guy that ends up building everyone else's PCs, and many guys have super limited budgets, so used 6850 at $40 is hard to pass up for those wanting a dirt cheap gaming box. I've helped a lot of people build capable units for $200-250 :) |
R9 270's are not too hard to find at a pretty cheap price, especially used. Unless the budget is really, really limited I'd go with that and a cheapo CPU like the Athlon or Pentium. You'd get the most out of the card for the CPU power given, and the CPUs are like 60-70$, and the cards aren't impossible to find below 100$. At that point you're already past what the consoles can do on a good day.
