Is it worth it for me to buy an AMD Radeon RX 480?

Cole_9 · Jul 24, 2016

I currently have a GTX 960. I am looking to buy the 8 GB Radeon RX 480. I have some questions.
1. Which will perform better when playing grade A titles?
2. What will deliver me more price to performance?
3. Is it even worth upgrading if I don't have any immediate plans to utilize 4k or VR?

Define 'grade A titles'.

Also, which resolution? RX 480 is far away for 4k usage, i mean, yes, you can use it on 4k monitor, but no for gaming.

I'm talking about the latest and greatest titles on the market. I hear the RX 490 outperforms the GTX 1060 on DirectX 12. Also, I may want to be concerned about a bottleneck, so Here are my specs
AMD FX 8350 4.0 GHZ CPU
8 GB HyperX
Samsung Evo 250 GB SSD
Seagate 1 TB SSHD
Cooler Master Hyper 212x
preety sure that's it.

The RX 490 isn't released yet, and there is no info about it so, i can't confirm that.

About the GPU. Are you playing @ 1080p?

sorry I meant to type RX 480. yes I am doing 1080p and my monitor uses VGA and DVI, No HDMI (I got the monitor for dirt cheap at Walmart... so yeah...)

Yes, the RX 480 8gb is a huge upgrade. I recommend you get an HDMI to VGA or DVI adapter!
