Two unrelated questions: the GTX 1070 and video game console

oddaaron00 · Jun 16, 2016

First question: I don't want to save up all my money for a GTX 1070 as I'd like to buy some retro rubbish so what's the best graphics card to buy for under £150 and is better than Intel HD Graphics 4600?

Second question: Old Nintendo products yellow over time due to fire retardants in the plastic. If I was to bathe it it some hydrogen peroxide to whiten it again (this is the correct method), would it devalue the item?

Thanks!

First question -- Wait for the AMD RX480 to come out. Should be really good bang for the buck.

Second question -- No Idea.

burdenbound :

The 480 might be a bit pricey, but the 470 should come in at that budget and also looks pretty powerful for the money.

burdenbound :

I'll probably get that, then. I'm not a huge dearest comrade of AMD but if they create a good graphics card for my budget, I might as well.
Thanks.

cdrkf :

I'll probably get the AMD one but if I'm impatient and can't be bothered to wait, I'll get this one instead.
Thanks for your help (on the first question, that is - I'd be better off asking a dedicated forum instead of Toms Hardware)

The 470 is another AMD card- they are releasing 3 on the 29th of June the RX 460, RX 470 and RX 480. The RX470 is likely to be around the £150, the 480 probably more like £200 although both cards are offering last gen £400+ card performance so look to be good value.

If you don't want to wait, best option for that kind of price is either a GTX 960 or an R9 380. The two perform similar although the 380 is slightly more powerful, also make sure to buy a card with 4gb of memory rather than 2gb as looking at prices they are around the same and modern games often need a bit more vram these days.

Well it seems I didn't think when I thought you were recommending the Nvidia 470. Anyway, the 470 will be the best option, I think. It's not that I can't go above £150, it's just I don't want to (I want to spend it on other useless ****) so if I have to go £10 over, I'll do that.
