Best GPU for budget of £100-£130

carterdarter · Aug 13, 2014

I am looking for a good GPU that can do me great on the latest games even at 1080p. I am still stuck on a 720p monitor, but I want to spend big on a GPU for when I go 1080p. I currently have a i3 2100, 4gb RAM, 60GB SSD, 1TB HDD and a AMD Radeon HD 5770 (which I am going to sell to get that £100)

Thank you for your help.

The R9-270X is for 130 pounds and is a very good card with a personal rating of 7.5/10

I think for a pound more he can get the 270X which will give him better performance

TopLuca :

I understand-- you can actually get the 270x (sapphire) for £139 with free shipping :

Well let Carterdarter (the asker decides that) He/she is the boss right now

The R9 270x or the GTX 750 would be your best choices.

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

Yeah thanks guys, I was stuck between the GTX 750 ti and the R9 270x

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

Also, I will be honest, I kind of want an nVidia card more because of the exclusives like Shadowplay but I really don't know yet.

LucoTF · Aug 14, 2014

carterdarter :

Shadowplay is meh, kinda lacking in features. amd have recording through Raptr btw

TopLuca · Aug 14, 2014

carterdarter :

The 270X is a much better card , the R7-265 beats the 750 ti , The only reason you'd want to conisder the 750ti is if you have a shitty psu as it doesn't draw much power and doesn't need a 6pin connection .

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

LucoTF :

I don't even know how to record through raptr and the streaming is shit.

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

TopLuca :

I don't have a 6 pin connecter but I bought an adapter so I can get either.

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

Also, I want a card which doesn't use much electricity as my parents can't really afford to spend more than they already are.

TopLuca · Aug 14, 2014

carterdarter :

The 750ti will be a good fit then

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

But I want one which really packs a punch... I really don't know :'(

LucoTF · Aug 14, 2014

It sounds like you know what you want, go buy it good sir

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

I think i will go for the R9 270x as the nVidia GTX 750 ti only seems to compare to the 260x thus, I get more for my money.

LucoTF · Aug 14, 2014

If you're serious about streaming you wouldn't use either gpu manufacturer's proprietary software - OBS seems to be popular among the streamer community

I think unless you can afford a PSU upgrade too then you have to go for the 750ti - the 270x needs two power connectors, not one.

carterdarter · Aug 14, 2014

LucoTF :

Nah, not really looking to upgrade the psu as I can't afford it. 750 ti it is.

LucoTF · Aug 14, 2014

Nothing wrong with a 750ti, it would be a nice upgrade for you
