Depends one what the 1060/70 and 490 look like.

The 480 is a tough proposition to pass up 2bh.

Has AMD got their act together with their drivers? My guess is no.

I would if I were in the market for a GPU. I have 980 ti and dont need to upgrade for years. It's not like games are graphically demanding these days anyway since all devs are so fucking shit

If it ends as cheap as they market it, I'll upgrade to it while Vega/1080Ti releases

how do you know what it is whatsoever when you haven't seen hard numbers on the silicon and you've only seen benchmarks for the game most favorable to AMD out of all existing games?

okay, if you want to get a rx 480 you are going to need a better power supply, around 600w to be safe knowing amd. don't cheap out on that either as it could brick your system, make sure to at a minimum get 80+ bronze 600w.
Your cpu should be fine and not gimp your performance at all, would be nice to have speccy to see exact motherboard to make sure you have a 16x pci slot or else its a no go

>>339674976
Obviously that means you have to choose Nvidia, because it's the way it's meant to be played™.

If you game on resolutions above 1080p you need them.

just remember to unplug that shit, keep yourself grounded as in hold a onto a large piece of metal or get a anti static wristband for a few bucks so you don't shock the thing and break it. try to hold everything by the edges or by the gpu cooler if you can, touching the board itself won't break it instantly but I wouldn't risk the chance of a static shock bricking the thing. PC parts are not as fragile as you would think, they are quite durable in fact but it is always good to treat them like glass regardless to have a margin of error. guides on changing out a gpu and psu should be easy as shit to find on youtube. good luck

What the fuck would I even play with these crazy graphics cards.

I have a 7870 from forever ago seems like and I can still play all the latest game, just not 60 fps max settings.

And besides those are just the latest games. I've been playing Diablo 3, Risk of Rain, Mountain Blade, Rocket League, and any indie bullshit I could ever want with 60 fps easy.

Then again I don't have a 144hz monitor so it would be pointless for me to want a top-of-the-line card, so I guess I've answered my own question.
>>
>>339677859
>What the fuck would I even play with these crazy graphics cards.
don't play new games so I guess just use them to push old games to extreme levels, stuff like 30k troop shogun 2 battles, I can kinda manage 20k on speed 1 but I would need a newer card to manage it well. Games past 2012 just don't seem as fun as games from earlier.
