need help choosing a graphics card

Cameron6399 · Jun 25, 2016

Hi, i'm building a new computer and cant decide on a graphics card. i've been looking at the 970 4gb but got told that there was no point as the 1070 coming out. However, there is a pretty big price difference... Need it to be red/black, so basically MSI. My budget for the graphics card is around £300 to £350.

Thanks

have you thought of waiting and seeing what the AMD RX 400 brings to the table ? They are doing 4GB versions and 8GB versions.

i dont have any knowledge of AMD GPU's and how good they are or how they compare to nvidia, could you explain?

Well the AMD RX 480 is in between the 970/980 GPU from Nvidia performance wise. I assume you are from the UK ? There are no real pricing for the uk yet as the card comes out on the 29th but the 4GB edition is $199 and 8GB $229 which would save you some money , but if you wanted nvidia then go for the GTX 1080

The new AMD Radeon RX480 is supposed to be priced at 199$ for 4GB and 229$ for 8GB models, and be faster than GTX 980 atleast. Release date is 29.6, which day the revies should pop up aswell. So I'd recommend waiting a few days to see what happens with them.

GTX 1080 is out of his budget.

Well the 1070 can be preordered for £370 or £390 in stock so could go under your £350 budget when theres more in stock could be days weeks or months, when the RX480 comes out on Wednesday it will be a great card for its price but how good we will find out on Wednesday when the benchmarks are out.
At the moment I would not even consider any other cards.
