Hey guys, I'm looking to upgrade my gpu in my computer, not anything too high end, around the 500-600$ mark, AMD. Currently I run on a R9 270X. What do you guys think is the best quality AMD gpu in my price range? I'm mostly looking to just game and use for everyday browsing, irc etc.

What kind of dollars are you using?

Current specs? Is your performance unsatisfactory?

You say not too high end and then give us a budget for the top end single GPU card, it's amazing. Well assuming you're using USD, if not you should have said :x

What are you system specs?  What games are you playing?  Intend to play?  Are you not satisfied with your current performance?

Current performance is decent, but I drop frames running games like Far Cry 3, Battlefield 4, even Minecraft on more developed worlds. This is on max settings obviously. I'm not unsatisfied, but obviously an upgrade would be nice and I've been saving up.
