Hey guyz,
That's my first post although i read this forum many years now.
So my lil bro's old gtx 580 died a couple of days ago and since his birthday coming up i am gonna buy him an new gpu.my budget is around 170 euro including transport and at this price range i can get an r9 280x for 164euro and a r9 380 2gb for 158 euro.These prices might seem to you a bit low but thats because i will import them to my country (Greece) from Germany without paying VAT.
So my bro's rig has an i3-4160 sitting on an h97 asrock performance with 8gb of ram.All this powered by an 630 watt 80+ bronze thermaltake psu. he plays at 1080@60hz mostly LoL , CS:go , Aion ,n1z1 and GTA V. My first choice for his rig would be an r9 380 4gb cause he wants to start streaming and frapsing his gta V at ultra settings and cause he ll keep this card for minimum 2 years.But like i said before i can only afford the 2 cards i mention in the title.
So the real question is raw power and 3gb of ram vs newer tech and longer support with a bit less horse power and ram.
Thank you all in advance
