Need help picking videocard

HackSlipp · Jan 24, 2015

Hey, I need some help picking a videocard for my gaming pc. Here are my other specs:
Fx6300
mobo:78lmt-usb3
psu:cx600m
ram:8Gb
Hhd:1000Gb

I don't play a lot of AAA games honestly. I mostly play games like World of Warcraft, The Binding of Isaac, All of the elder scrolls, A lot of Valve games, A lot of other MMO's and a lot of Indie games. I'll be grateful for any advice

thanks

R9 270x - if it'll fit in your case.

The R9 270 is a solid choice as it can play any game at medium settings. If you want more eyecandy consider a R9 290 which will enable you to play about anything on ultra settings. The GTX 970 is a bit more expensive but is also a very good price/performance card, though from the R9 290 and up you should be overclocking your cpu to get the most performance out of the videocard. Also if you are playing at 1080p the GTX 970 is a bit overkill already, a slightly cheaper card will get you solid 60+fps also on any game.
Depending on your budget and resolution you play at anything between a R9 270 and a GTX 970 would fit nice with your cpu.

I wanna spend around $275-$300 CDN, the gtx 960 is around 275 after taxes where I live.

That'd be OK.

gtx 960 is good.

GTX 960 is a solid card, to compare it performs about the same as a R9 280/285.

I know I might sound crazy but should I buy a GTX750Ti right now and start saving for a 970? I just can't afford a 970 right now. Also one more question, does the 750Ti support down scaled 4k like the 960 does?

750ti is not a bad card, though not a great performer. It will play games though at medium settings. I don't know about the 4k downscaling.

Seeing the recently discovered memory performance issues on the GTX970, I wouldn't recommend it anymore until it has been resolved.
