Best AMD Graphics card for under £150

zeroimpulse · Oct 14, 2015

Hello everyone, I am an AMD fanboy, and I'm look for a graphics card that fits this build. Has to be around £150 ($230) but no higher than £160 http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/6VHtGX

I think the SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 380 for £137.99 is the closest match for what you are looking for:

You might get a bit of a bottleneck with this card because your FX-6300 is on the lower-spectrum of CPU for this GPU. If you wanted to be sure you wouldn't bottleneck you could probably use the SAPPHIRE DUAL-X Radeon R9 280 for £131.99...though since the price is so close I'd still go with the 380 if I were you.

Any stretch you can make to get 4Gb or RAM would be worth it:

Just a touch more gets you to a 380, which is more power efficient for the performance too:

If Black Friday/Cyber Monday can be waited for, then it should be a cinch to find a bit more of a deal on a 380 in the budget.

I'd definitely go either r9 380 or r9 290. R9 290 is way better but takes a lot of power to run, and is older. I believe you can find them for $200 (181 Euro)
I also am a huge AMD fan, but I wish their CPU'S would come out soon. I'm going to make a build soon and I may have to go Intel. The FX processors are good, but Intel has better single core performance, and since games don't use all the cores, Intel is better. I hope games start using more cores, so AMD cards perform a lot better. They still preform pretty good though.
