Hello guys,
I am thinking about graphic upgrade finally as I have some issues with AMD driver stopping responding on my AMD HD 7850
my spec so you know what I am working with:
Proc: I7 6800k (not overclocked)
Mobo: Gigabyte X99 Ultra Gaming
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 7850 (not overclocked)
RAM: KINGSTON HyperX 16GB DDR4
HDD: Samsung 850 M.2 SSD + WD Black 2TB
PSU: Corsair 550W
now to the point. Was getting ready to get GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD as I only read good things about it:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01K7I7M00?ie=UTF8&tag=prie0f-21&linkCode=xm2&camp=1634&creativeASIN=B01K7I7M00 £242
but then I started researching and reading this forum for like 2 days. Was even thinking about 1050Ti as it would give me good savings gigabyte one for £150 but then I found this deal:
Asus Radeon DUAL RX 480 GDDR5 4GB OC VR Gaming Graphics Card £154
http://www.awd-it.co.uk/asus-radeon-dual-rx-480-gddr5-4gb-oc-vr-gaming-graphics-card.html
and 8GB model for £183
http://www.awd-it.co.uk/asus-radeon-dual-rx-480-gddr5-8gb-oc-vr-gaming-graphics-card.html
so I have no idea what to do now. I mean normally ASUS would be obvious choice due to savings but for 8GB version I cannot find any reviews anywhere. For 4GB I could find some and everyone says that the fan is loud like a jet engine (this statement is found in most of those reviews) Is it really that bad? I mostly use my PC at night when my kids sleep in next room, how loud is it? jet engine loud seems scary.
Anyway any other thoughts? ideas? I was really ready to get that 1060 but £90 pounds difference is so big. OH and ASUS needs 8pin PSU connection that I don't have but I have seen some 8pin adaptor cables like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wentronic-Express-Internal-Power-Supply/dp/B002E4V414/ref=sr_1_7?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1487954543&sr=1-7&keywords=8pin+pci-e+cable so I don't think it's a big issue, would have to research that bit more.
Thanks.
