Graphics card

[dev893]

Ok first off i know windows experience index (WEI) isnt buy any means a reliable benchmark tool but i want a video card that can beat my integrated graphics which is rating at 6.7 for desktop and gaming graphics. Im wanting to see how much im having to spend.

Am I wrong in thinking that any video card will beat onboard graphics? What graphics do you have on board?

I feel like the iris pro integrated graphics and perhaps the hd5000 outperform some ultra low end graphics cards but for the most part a dedicated card is better than integrated graphics. Just let us know what the integrated graphics chip is and we'll let you know.

Well If I think I understand this question right do you want a new graphics card for gaming or do you just want a card ?

If so I think the best one at the moment for price is the evga 650ti boost

I want a gaming card. The integrated graphics play my games on high but i want a dedicated card so i can upgrade my CPU/APU the integrated graphics are Radeon HD7540D

As said i want the graphics card to read either the same or higher on both gaming and desktop in WEI. It currently rates both at 6.7

What about a GeForce GTX 750? Its a good affordable graphics card.

Here's A link to one for $120 on Newegg.

Newegg.com - EVGA 01G-P4-2751-KR GeForce GTX 750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

yeah the 750 is pretty good. If you could stretch your budget a bit more to 150 you can get the r7 265, a true beast in the 100-200 range.

Both cards look nice. But from my motherboard specs it sounds like only fm2+ processors support pcie 3.0 i just rememberd this. Will the board automatically downgrade it to 2.1?
