    HELP SWTOR Graphic Dual Graphics cards. HELP

     
    Hey everyone i need some help with finding out a graphics card to buy. I have about 80$ and i want to get a card for SWTOR so i can run it in 1920x1080p with medium-high graphics, at around 40+ FPS at all times. I'll link my specs below. Let me know if i'd be better of buying just a single card due to my power supply or anything else.

    First things first, your motherboard only supports one pci-e slot and only one gpu. You don't have sli or crossfire support so running two cards wouldn't happen. Second if all you can afford is $80 for the upgrade then you wouldn't run to run two $40 cards anyways. You'd get much better performance out of a single $80 card that you would two really low end $40 cards.

    That said I'm not really familiar with SWTOR or how demanding it is but I would kind of doubt you'll get the performance you are looking for out of an $80 card. You might though. Here are a couple options

    Newegg.com - XFX HD-657X-ZNFQ Radeon HD 6570 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
    Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
    Newegg.com - XFX HD-667X-ZHF3 Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

    for $80-ish in price, this is about as good as you can get, its refurbished, but its even more powerful than any of the "New" in box cards rich listed:

    PowerColor Radeon HD 5770 512MB DDR5 PCI Express (PCIe) DVI/VGA Video Card w/HDMI & HDCP Support PowerColor AX5770-512MD5-H Radeon HD 5770

    Any of the suggested GPUs will run the game just fine. Really doesn't take much to run and keep it in the high 90s...
    I7 920 @ 4.2Ghz/6GB//GTX480 SLI/M4 64 GB + 1.5 TB + 2x 640 GB/Corsair TX950/ASUS blu-ray/ASUS P6X58D-E + X-Fi /LC PCK62
