I don't mean to doubt our u guys' computer knowledge, but it's for sure that those graphic cards suggested above can handle mw3 or bf3 smoothly at 1280x1024. They seems to be very out-of-par compare to others such as gtx460 or ati 5850. Again, this is my first time building so I dont know what I'm talking about.


1280x1024 is actually a low resolution by today's standards. 5770 and 4850 are very solid if not overkill for many modern games at that resolution. You could even get away with lower.
8/4/12 never forget, never forgive.

GTX 460 or cheaper HD4850 could work quite well

So anything around an ATI 5770 would work for me?
Yep, I have an 5700er card and run the same resolution as you require. Works fine.

don't waste your money on anything cheaper than a 5770

Both the 4850 and the 5670 are below Bad Company 2's recommended specs, BF3 will be much more GPU intensive. You'll also want DX11 support

1: Low resolution.
2: Lower end budget system.
3: Not worried about high end graphics, includes DX11.
4: 5770 isn't powerful enough for good quality and DX11.
5: High DX support when playing low quality is pointless.
6: Console port.

For the record, these are reasons your suggestion is silly.

You don't really need to worry about MW3 tbh. BF3 maybe a bit more. MW3 is a console port. If it can run on an Xbox360, it'll run on any vaguely modern PC with everything on high.

i think the best price for that resolution should be 5670, its small, cheap and powerfull, you should be able to run sc2 maxed at that resolution with that card! it slike $60, so you wont spend much, but will get good performance!

1. 5770 is a great card for low resolutions and not much else
2. price/performance is more important than buying the cheapest card, a 4850 may be $20 less expensive or whatever but the 5770 is 20% more powerful
3. DX11 has alternative, less system intensive AA options and optimizations for texture streaming. BF3 will be the first game to make use of them

He wants a cheap option. It's not the worst suggestion, but the 4850 will do fine for his needs.

Point 3 I concede. Point 6, even if it's PC first, it's coming out on 360. If a 360 will play it, he doesn't need high end hardware.

I ordered an MSI Radeon 5670 this morning, DX11, GDDR5
supposedly it runs cool and can handle games pretty well
It has been going in and out of stock at newegg for a while.
