Hello,
Sadly i realised that my old GTX 770 broke and i need to replace it. So i need your advice in choosing one. I dont really know what Graphics Cards are worth the money.
I want to buy the new Card within the next Week and i use it only for gaming.
The Games im currently playing are Witcher III, GTA V and CS:GO. The Card should be good enough to play these and new games on high or even the best graphic settings.
My budget is between 250 and 350 Euros.
These are my PC Specs:
CPU: Intel i5 3570K @ 3,40 GHz
GPU: GeForce GTX 770 2 GB (somehow it often says 4GB) Palit (broken)
Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Pro3
RAM: 2 x 4 GB
System: Windows 10 64-bit
Power Supply: 630 Watt be quiet! Pure Power L8 CM Modular 80+ Bronze
BIOS: American Megatrends Inc.
Version P1.60
I like to buy my things on mindfactory.de or alternate.de. Nice prices and in my country (germany).
Im using this monitor right now: BenQ GL2450H (1920 x 1080 px, 60 Hz)
I hope you can give me good advice :)
Sincerely,
Jonas

Oh my mistake I meant to link the 480. Here is a 480 below. The reference 480 is a bit loud under load, same for the reference 1060. The powercolor card I linked below shouldn't be very loud at all even under load. Here is a video comparing the 480 to the 1060 on newer amd and nvidia drivers, I bought the 1060 but I wonder all the time if the 480 would've been the better choice, it performs better in dx12 games and has caught up and then some in dx11 titles where the 1060 used to pull ahead. I would take the 480 especially if its cheaper, up to you.

Thanks for the fast answers. I often hear about the Radeon RX being very loud in some cases. Is that true?
And you linked be the Radeon 470 actually and mentioned the 480. Was that a mistake ? Because the 480 is as expensive as the 1060. If the perfomance and price is the same, i usually prefer Nvidia...
So now. GTX 1060 6 GB or the Saphire RX 480 8 GB? or the 470?

And my power supply is good enough for both of these? The Price difference is only 10 Euros right now. I like Nvidia more Software wise but i think i will go with AMD this time as the results speak for themselves in the tests. But i red somewhere that my Power Supply isnt working well with the 480 and the suppy entrance is on the wrong site (i dont think it fits into my Case well). Is that right?

Yes that power supply is more than enough for either, a decent 500watt psu would be plenty. What case do you have? If your palit gtx 770 fits I would think that 480 would, Isn't the palit 770 that huge triple fan thing?

A disclaimer before finalizing your decision OP, GTA V prefers Nvidia cards so a 1060 will certainly outperform the 480 in that. Neither card should have trouble with CS:GO, and I think they perform similarly on the Witcher III, so really just throwing out the information on GTA V if it matters that much to you. The 1060 6GB is a tiny bit (about 4%) faster than the 480 but also costs a bit more and the 3GB is a even smaller amount (2%) slower and a bit cheaper, ultimately up to you what you are comfortable with. :)
