I don't know too much about graphics cards, I found three so far that are in my price range please tell me which one is the best.

1.Point Of View GTS250 PCI-E 1GB GDDR3 256BIT Memory clock speed 1800Mhz, Processor clock speed 648Mhz

2.Sparkle PCI-E GTS250 1024MB DDR3 256BIT - Core Clcok:738Mhz - Shader Clock:1836Mhz - RamDAC:400Mhz - Stream Pro:128

3.Powercolor PCI-E ATI Radeon AX5770 1GB GDDR5

P.S. Just need it for gaming.
 
Could you give your exact budget? There may be better alternatives depending on what you are paying for those cards. Out of those 3 however I'd choose the 5770.
 
Yeah definitely the 5770. It's not even a difficult choice.
 
yup 5770 it is. Theres a reason it wields DDR5 and not 3.

About R2000.
 
Thanks for the help if I can't find something better, I'll try and get the 5770.

If you have a 1920x1080/1200 monitor, then I'd rather pay the little extra for this.

That is actually an awesome buy.. Thats the kind of pricing the 1GB cards should be at. Makes me wanna SLi now... Who wants to sponsor me :D only need to upgrade mobo and buy 2 of those cards :p

Yeah you can take my GTS 250 1gb for R1000 if you want! It's actually quite a decent performer. However the 5770 is faster, and supports DX11 which is cool.
 
Again thanks for the help and links, looks like I'm going for the gtx 460 now :)
