Hello everyone,

I'd like to replace my R7 250 1gb DDR5 GPU with a stronger one but I'm not sure what is the best choice for an X6 1035T CPU.

Thanks in advance!

I run an 1100T which is a little faster than your CPU. Right now I have 2 R9 280's in crossfire and to be honest the processor is somewhat of a bottleneck in many games. 1 R9 280 is mostly fine. That said the R9 280 is no longer in production.

However the new R9 380 is a good value and will match well with the processor. Its faster than the 280 but not that much faster, and should you decide to upgrade your motherboard and processor its a good card at almost any level for 1080p gaming.

It depends a lot on your budget. I'm guessing you're running 1080p. Assuming budget wasn't a variable you can get anything up to the 980 I'd say. The 10 series will be bottlenecked by your CPU id say. Not because your CPU is so slow but because the 10 series is so fast :p I can recommend the 950,960 and 970 as solid cards. Those 3 cards will have something in most price brackets and I think it would suit your system :)
