Best New Graphics Card £140
I recently returned my r9 270x toxic as it was defected, im now looking into getting a new gpu, but Im not too clued up on the new ones that will be coming to us this christmas time, so, any suggestions on a new gpu I can get for give or take £140(I may be able to go up to £150/£160)

i'd say asus 760 directcu ii. a little bit pricey but worth it in my opinion. but i have to remind you that i am extremely bias towards asus as all of my past cards including the one i am using now were either asus cards. just so you know :D 


to be honest, thats the only one i can afford, its dropping in price due to the new cards being annouced, so I'll probably grab myself one of those, thank you very much, also what is it like, do you have an examples for me where it does very well ?

even their r9 270 non X cards too? well that's a shame. you might as well go with a gtx 760 then.


I beleive so as they are focusing on their new cards now, and yeah, that was my first though, which model (evga,asus) of the 760 do you recomend?

i'd still take the r9 270x. one defective card shouldn't discourage you away from an otherwise great card.


Ive spoken to sapphire today and they say all there cards which are being sold now are either refurbished or a couple last batches of old ones, im not going to by knowing that and take a chance of getting a defected card

more or less if you buy one now its probably not going to be "brand" new
