Best PCI Express (PCIe) Card For $115:

Radeon HD 7770

$116.99On Amazon.com

Mainstream Card For Cheap

The Radeon HD 7770 can now be found for $115, which is significantly less than the over-ambitious $160 AMD wanted for the card when it launched. Almost as powerful as the end-of-lifed Radeon HD 6850, this newer board uses only half the power to get its job done. Now that we see a price we like, the Radeon HD 7770 receives a full recommendation.

Best PCI Express (PCIe) Card For $130:

Radeon HD 7790

$126.67On PROVANTAGE

Mainstream Performance Leader

The Radeon HD 7790 filled a gap in AMD's portfolio, but was quickly overshadowed by a more affordable GeForce GTX 650 Ti. AMD is responding the only way it can, really: by dropping the price on its 7790. As such, the Radeon earns a thumb-up from us at $130.
