I select the PC configuration for the farm.
On the processor Intel Core i7-3770K.
Memory 16 GB 2x Corsair 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)
I want to run on it 6-8 bots.
The processor i7-3770K has a built-in video.
Do I need a separate graphics card?
I was told that we need, but I decided to clarify.
Advised to take this:
Inno3D GeForce GTX560 2048 MB (N56M-3DDN-E5DW)
Inno3D
Interested in your opinion, based on your experience.
Which graphics card is needed, and whether it is necessary at all.
Maybe there will be enough Sapphire Radeon HD5450 512 MB ​​(11166-01)?

You got a good system there, why go cheap on the video card? Instead of the gtx560, you should get the newly released Kepler series gtx660. It's just a little more money, but it's worth it. Even might want to get a AMD 7850, with the recent price cuts, it's pretty good deal. If your on a tight budget, maybe a AMD 6850/6950. Also, on board graphics will not cut it, so best to get a dedicated graphics card.

Are you going to play other games on your computer?

How much money do you want to spend on a graphics card?

AMD 7850 = 228 $ ((
MSI GeForce GTX660 Ti N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC = $329 (((
I will not play on the computer in other games. Computer only for the farm.
If gtx560 enough, I'll take it.
AMD Radeon HD6850 & HD6950 = gtx560 = approximately 180 $
gtx560 I like more than the Radeon 6850.

thanks
Palit GeForce GTS450 1 GB (NE5S4500FHD01) = 75 – 96 $
I like the price. But do not like the video card.
Looks like I still choose GeForce GTX560, Inno3D GeForce GTX560 2048 MB (N56M-3DDN-E5DW) = 167 $
 
In all honesty, I would suggest you stay away from budget brands like Inno and Sapphire. Pay that tiny little bit more and get an EVGA, and you will have cards that will last for years without any issues, overclocked or stock.

Nice thing about EVGA has step up program, If you want to upgrade within 90 days to better video card, you can just pay the difference for better one.

I suppose GTX550Ti will work too.

There are some problems with shipping and discount. Because I live in Ukraine. But thanks for the information.

dont get the XX50 series from geforce, its their generic crap. a XX60/75/90 is the higher end cards.
a nicely overclocked GTX is a thing of beauty, but if your doing massive loads its going to get HOT,
so make sure if you plan to run it hardcore, that cooling is also in your mind.

hot GPU = Hot CPU/board/internals = long term not fun
 
I'm not going to play demanding video games. Video card is only required for the farm.
 
radeon HD 6850 costs just 100€, at least it was so when i bought mine (in Germany)
 
There is such a rating usefulness of video cards ixbt.com. Sorry that is in Russian, but everything is clear in the table without a word.

The second table - Rating utility (features / price).

With the recent price reduction accelerators Radeon HD 7750/7770 became the leader of our ratings.

ATI has always been cheaper, but Nvidia has been leading for a while now. If you're on a tight budget, I think a second hand EVGA is the way to go rather than new budget brand. Also, you can always get 2 GTX 400 series and run them in sli, you may be able to get them quite cheap and still achieve great quality. GTX 465s run great overclocked. I have 2 running in SLI and I can play any game at max driver settings above 60 FPS (running 16xQ CSAA).
 
computer is assembled, the video card score (GeForce GTX560 2048 MB) of 7.7
