Reccomendation on a Graphics Card?

[Stalkerkain]

So recently, my friend informed me that my graphics card is a potato and proceeded to hurt my feelings.

I know practically nothing when it comes to computers, so I decided it was time to consult some strangers on teh interwebs.

Really, the only game I play is Vindictus, and preferably I'd like to max out the graphics on that (unless the rest of my comp can't support it then welp).

My budget is $300 CAD (more, if you really think it's worth the investment).

The following is my specs:

And in case the above tells you nothing, hopefully my full dxdiag report will.

If someone could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated!

(or you could laugh at me).

Well, being an AMD fanboy to death, I can't really tell you much about other graphic cards, however, if you really want something other than AMD, try Nvidia whatever their latest version is. Or just upgrade your AMD card. You have the processor to do it, so why not?

Tl;Dr try looking up Nvidia and AMD brands.

im from RSA,
so pricing is a bit different, but..

from what I can find

http://www.shopbot.ca/graphics-cards/components/canada/83#tab_offers

you are looking at a R9 380 and nvidea 960 cards in your price range,

just make sure your PSU would support the card you choose.

the cards perform similar so I would say its all up to personal preference

I use a 960, it works great. I'd recommend it.

I second that.
