Hello all,

I am currently entertaining upgrading my graphics cards to something a little more meaty in order to run ESO with recommended/max settings when it comes out.

My current graphic card is a AMD Radeon HD 7700 1GB, and while it's served me well, I'm starting the see the limitations now more and more with the recent/upcoming games.

Ideally I'm looking for a steady GPU that comes with 2GB of VRAM (or more if possible without risking using a dodgy card that'll die in 6 months) in order to make the jump to better graphics all around.

Here are my current specs for compatibility, etc :


CPU - AMD FX 8350

RAM - 16 GB

Graphic card - AMD Radeon HD 7700

HDD - 2TB seagate

Mobo - gigabyte 970a-ud3

PSC - CX600 corsair


That's the first PC I built, back last summer so most of the hardware should still be up to date I hope.

My budget for a new graphic card is £200 max ( roughly $320) so I'm ideally looking for a card that will perform well with the rest of my rig (i'm paralyzed in fear of incompatibility, haha) and that hopefully delivers the most punch for its price.
So basically a decent budget gaming graphic card to make the jump from 1GB VRAM to 2GB.

Those GTX cards sound nice though :p 

Thank you for reading, and already to anyone landing me a hand :)
