So, heres my current specs.

CPU: i5 3330 at 3.0ghz
PSU: 850watt C-Tech I think?
RAM: 8GBs

I'd like a gpu that can at least support dx9 graphics in tf2 that wont cause me to stutter, since my current gpu, which is a AMD6570 sucks.

Anybody know a good GPU that would support my request above? ^, I'd like to stick with AMD, but if NVIDIA is the only way, than so be it.

Thanks, my budget would be at most $100.

For 20$ more you can get the GTX 750 which is pretty much the best card in that pricerange and its a beast, even for high end games.

A $100 budget is right at the cusp of getting decent price/performance, but you can get some pretty good deals. If your really strapped for cash get a GT 640 although I wouldn't recommend it. It will play tf2 perfectly though. There is no reason to get a gtx 750, it is a bad fit for you since you have a 850watt PSU, totally negating the benefit you get for paying more for it- low power consumption and no external power needed.

The best deals here are AMD solutions so you should be happy about that. A 7770 or r5 250x are great options and will play any new games at medium-low settings with very good framerates. A 7750 would work here too. To be honest any $100 dedicated GPU solution will be leaps and bounds better than what you have currently.

Well, I want to be able to run my native res and DX9 without any stuttering, right now, if I ran native and dx9, itd be 60-90 fps compared to 150-200 when not running dx9.

Would a 7750 be a good option for that? or a GT640?
