Best 1080p 60 Fps GPU

Charlie Dunn · Oct 13, 2016

Hey guys, I'm wanting to upgrade my current system's GPU. I struggle to get 60 fps on most newer games. I also want to be sure that my current CPU isn't going to bottleneck my PC. I record locally/stream with OBS. My end goal is to have high quality recordings, as well as minimal 60 fps while recording on ONE single PC. I stream/record games like H1Z1, CS:GO, and other shooters. My current build: AMD 8350, Sapphire R9-270 Vapor-X, Asus M5A97 LE, 16 GB DD3 RAM, WD 1TB HDD, 550w power supply. I will also be upgrading to an SSD soon. Thanks for your time!

I suggest a XFX 480 4GB. Its a very good 1080p GPU. for $229.

You could save some money and go with the RX 470.

Here's a video that shows a comparison at maximum game settings, 1080p resolution. The slightly lower specs of the RX 470 definitely lower its compute performance compared to the RX 480, but its gaming performance doesn't appear to be affected much at all.

GTX 1060 6GB

weberdarren97 :

I would agree but currently the price of the 470 is right on the 480 4GB. They run about $219 so there isn't much savings. Now AMD is going to reduce the 470's price to compete against the 1050ti so I would wait to buy a 470 till then.

I suggest the GTX 1060 6GB with a good cooler.
Get this, features 10% faster performance than the RX 480 and better optimization.

If that's out of your budget range get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/product/7bL7YJ/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-windforce-oc-video-card-gv-n1060wf2oc-3gd

Anything higher will be bottlenecked somewhat by your CPU, so I wouldn't suggest going above a 1060.

I appreciate all your answers! I'll pick a solution when I look into these cards.

I'm gonna have to cast another vote for the GTX 1060.
