XFX HD-685X-ZNBC Radeon HD 6850 Black Edition or XFX HD-687A-ZNFC Radeon HD 6870 1GB

Or neither of these above.

Basically what I am looking for is a high quality graphics Card.

I have Win 7 Home Premium, Amd Phenom2 X4 970 Black Edition, 8 gig of Ram, 680 psu, ASUS M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 AM3 AMD 890GX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard.

This is what I have above ^^^, Right now I want a dedicated memory for just Graphics, as of right now my OS is taking over 3 gigs, so I decided to get a graphics card so I can just have a dedicated memory for just video. I do game, but not intensely as time does not always permit, and I don't play alot of high demanding games either, (at least as of right now), right now I am looking at two cards here from newegg.com this is the first one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._cards_pci_express_x16-_-14-150-506-_-Product , the next one is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ..._cards_pci_express_x16-_-14-150-512-_-Product

Now I do like both of these, but I was wondering if this is the best thing for me, as I am not too keen on Graphics cards nor Audio cards, but am keen on other parts. So hence why I am asking. Is there possibly a better card out there for me? Oh and price range 100-200, or less than 100 would be nice, but don't see that happening!

Thanks for the help in advance!

If you don't game much and not crazy about high quality settings and just need something for dedicated memory, I would go with a 5770 if you really wanna save money.

That being said, those cards you posted are still excellent cards. Just depends if you wanna save an extra $60-80.

I looked at that one, and it has high remarks, which is good! I do like that one, another one I was checking out, bc I like its cooling setup, and what it has it this one here:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127576
Plus the free game is a nice addition as well!

After reading some reviews of the other ones that I have chosen, I started to do some checking on other ones, I hate doing RMA's, especially when the company wants you to send a high dollar part back to them, and it makes you have down time! Ridiculous imo! They should do a better job of testing, b4 sending it to their customer!
