Best gpu for 1440p on AAA games at high settings for less than £400

Guest · Jul 8, 2016

I was looking for a new gpu and need to know what the best gpu for 1440p on AAA games at high settings for less than £400.

Thanks!

AMD R9-390x is sub 400 or GTX 1070 but just over 400
A GTX970 will play but 4GB vram will hold it back in new AAA games on 1440p rez

Why not wait for the gtx1060. According to Nvidia it has better performance than the the gtx980, and it will hit stores after July 19th.

Ok thanks, would a 980 be able to run new AAA games on 1440p at high settings?

Jester Maroc · Jul 8, 2016

Yes, it can run most games at high settings on 1440p.

Thanks for quick response!

You can pick up a GTX 980ti for around £350 if you shop around.

Jester Maroc · Jul 8, 2016

The 1060 will be selling for $250, so I believe that to be a better value option come July 19th.

Hi I have looked around at various different shops but none have come even close to the price of £350, could you recommend a place to get it from?

Thanks

I would strongly advise against buying a 980ti as £400 can get you a https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-Nvidia-GeForce-Gaming-Graphic/dp/B01GVHNWUK/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1468069128&sr=1-3&keywords=1070 This card will be a way better option than the 980ti. In most benchmarks at 1440p the 1070 comes out on top by 5-10%, and the gap will continue to grow as Nvidia drivers mature for the 10xx range. Plus it gives better thermals and way lower TDP.

that is only 10% in 1080p in 1440p it is 1-3%. Overclocked the 980ti performs better until we get modded firmware for the 1070 and see the results. That being said the 980ti uses 100watts more which means more db's when overclocked. So unless your buying used or getting a sale I would stick to the 1070.

Interesting, most of the benchmarks (non-overclocked) I saw the performance gap at 1440 was bigger than at 1080. Anyway, the point remains that at stock clocks the 1070 comes out on top most of the time and it is a newer card with new architecture, definitely a better buy if the price is very similar.

GTX 1070 £380 inc. VAT and delivery http://www.ebuyer.com/750762-msi-geforce-gtx-1070-aero-8g-oc-8gb-gddr5-dual-link-dvi-d-hdmi-gtx-1070-aero-8g-oc Its way better than any other option.

IDK, I prefer not to get a blower style GPU in order to keep noise and thermals down.

simon12 · Jul 9, 2016

There are 3 other GTX 1070s on the same site under £400 and 4 more under £410 all in stock with free delivery
