How to choose a cheap video card with good performance to run Modern War 3?

[jammywinslet]

Hi all,

I have a computer with is assembled in 2009 with HD4670, I play COD Modern War 3 under 1680x1050 high seetting, but 4670 is week now as Modern War 3 required a powerful card. I think at least 50fps is nice for enjoying war game.

I do not have much budget. I prefer ATI card, can any one suggest some ideas. thanks :)

More information would be helpful, like the CPU model, amount of RAM you have.

OP needs to list the major components of his/her system especially the power supply's brand/model and wattage if possible. Budget? $100?

This shows the fps for different graphics cards under Modern Warfare 3 at 1680x1050:

Looks like 6770 does 50 fps at 1680x1050. 6770 is priced as low as $85. http://pcpartpicker.com/ca/parts/video-card/#c=60,53,42,41,37,38&sort=a5

If you can get the 6850 which does 73 fps and is priced as low as $119 (was as cheap as $99 after MIR recently). Somebody here posted that he bought a 560Ti for under $100.

Probably the bottom, I can run MW3 on an E8400 @ 3.6 with a GTX 260.
