Hello,
Please I need Helo choosing the right GC for my new rig.
As my budget is tight - 240€ absolute maximum, the best card I can get for exactly that is RX 470 4gb as I am gonna use 2560x1080 freesync monitor - LG 29um68.
I am torn between XFX GTR Black edition and Sapphire Nitro+ OC. I like the full black metal backplate used on the XFX but I am kinda scared of the 6pin connector and I've heard it is quite noisy. Sapphire has .. well not so bad looking backplate but it is plastic and I've read that at least on the 480 it is the worst cooler of all.
I care about aesthetics a lot btw as my case nzxt s340. Otherwise I would never pick anything else but MSI as they make the best cards. Unfortunately no backplate ..
In reviews I've seen rx 470 draw around 220 in peak gaming and above 300 when overclocked. It seems rx 470 are good overclockers reaching above 1400mhz.
So .. do you have personal experience? What would you recommend. I have rx 460 right now, thought it could handle the games I play but I am not gonna play WoW on medium/high to stay at 60fps when it is 10 yo. Gonna return that crap
My build is:
I5 6600k 4.7ghz at 1.35V
Nzxt kraken x41
Corsair LPX using 15-15-15-28 3200mhz ddr4 16gb
Asrock fatality gaming k6
Evga supernova 650 GS plus gold
Samsung EVO ssd 240gb
Thanks a lot.
