Hi,
I am in a bit of a dilemma choosing between Rx 470 Sapphire OC 4Gb or Rx 470 Powercolor Red Dragon 4Gb, in one hand, rx 470 Sapphire seems to has slightly better base clock and boosted clock at 932 MHz and 1216 MHz respectively, compared to Red Dragon 926 MHz and 1210 MHz, on the other hand, Red Dragon seems to have better cooling system since they got 2 fans on the vga compared to only 1 in Sapphire OC. In addition, Sapphire seems to have a backplate on its vga unlike the Red Dragon ( not sure if it is going to be helpful though performance-wise, p.s. : i do not really care about aesthetics design )
For your information, both price are quite similar to each other in my country and are the only designs that i can stretch to afford at the moment (i cannot afford better rx 470 design and rx 480 too)
Furthermore, i also am confused to choose a new PSU for my setup, my budget is around $45, the options that are within my price range in my country are Antec VP500P V2 or Thermaltake Litepower 550W ( LT-550P ) or Xigmatek X-Calibre 500W XCP-A500 or Enermax NAXN 500W 80+ ENP500AGT.
My current setup is :
- CPU : i7-2600K 3,4GHz Sandy bridge
- Mobo : ECS H67H2-M3
- Memory : 2x4Gb DDR3 Kingston
- Casing with 2 14cm fan
- my monitor is LG HD Plus the screen resolution is 1600x900
I am hoping that my new setup will last around 2-3 years in the future and to play new games such as Witcher, Civilization, Far Cry on high or ultra setting if possible.
