wait 7 days, the RX 480 will be out and it performs better than a GTX 970.
A GTX 970 cost $450.
An AMD RX 480 will cont $200.
So you getting better performance than the GTX 970 for a much better price.
I know im going to get it.
And it should work fine with your CPU. you can play BATTLEFIELD 4 at around 50 fps all settings maxed out.
if you had a better CPU u could get around 70fps on battlefield.
but really think about it you can get a new CPU next year.
So i really suggest you get a AMD RX 480 when it comes out in 7 days.
Have seen the OP's budget for the upgrade or you intentionally ignore it ?
Bro its worth the Extra $100. Cause if you look at it, if he gets a 750ti, he will have to upgrade that like in a year, so he will go with something abit more expensive.
so is it not better to spend $100 extra and get Crazy good performance, and not have to upgrade for 3 Years.
You gotta Admit its performance is very similar to the 980, so its a beast card for the Price.
So he will be getting $500 performance in Just $200.
or he can spend even less and buy a RX 470. Only $150, the Rx 470 performs closer to a 960. which is $200.
So i still say he cant go wrong with the RX 480 or 470.
