graphic cards Buying new Gpu

[Poky22]

So Hello there I was thinking of buying a new gpu so I've looked something up and I still want to know what is the best gpu I can get for around 250-300$? I know you can get a good gpu for that money so thank you for your help.

Yes I was thinking of that too the gigabyte model looks nice, but a lot of people friends said to me that I need to go to nvidia and I dont know why theyre telling me that.

I wouldn't get the Gigabyte version of the 580 as the cooler is rubbish, I recommend the MSI Gaming X version.

It depends what you're going to be doing. If you want to try youtube then Shadowplay works great and has little-no impact on performance and also I don't think that AMD has something like Game Stream is you think about getting a second pc - maybe a living room tower at some point down the line.

ReLive works pretty good for streaming and recording, Shadowplay isn't a deviding factor anymore imo

Well as far as I know AMD has plays.tv which records fine as I had an AMD gpu before... so I know throw the video just on youtube if I want to do so. My GPU would ofc be focused on gaming.

At this price point it can be since if you're getting a mid-range card you're most likely on a budget so aren't buying i7s that can record without smashing your framerates.

[Poky22]

What about like the aorus or the Strix version.

RX 580 8GB for sure

Well you can get a nice i5 for gaming and so on which is a pretty good cpu for the budget.

580 could be a good option, but can also wait for Vega (If you are willing to push budget slightly, 1070s go for as low as $330 new).

Ryzen 5 disagrees with that. 

 

Anyway, if you're going nVidia you're paying heaps more for a nice G-Sync display which you kinda want these dats. You're paying the same price for an AMD GPU but FreeSync displays are waaaaay cheaper bringing the overall price down.

So that means? lol

That means get the RX580 so when you upgrade your display you won't pay the grand price for a GSync display.

Yet ironically AMD do not currently have a proper high-end GPU to pair with that (Not much point worrying about that for a 580), hopefully Vega will change that (not that I am that hopeful for it). 

[Poky22]

Yes thank you for your help of course, well im probably gonna get 2yrs warranty if not more, and Ill wait to see what the vega has to offer and the price point of it. Cause im not getting this Gpu like in a month.

So if I wanted to buy a rx580 which version should I go with the MSI or the Red Devil or Asus?

XFX RX580 GTS or GTR-S too.

MSI IMO . Don't know about the red devil , but ASUS doesn't make great coolers on AMD gpus.

But that gpu looks disgusting tho, does it perform well like I cant find any video for it.

The GTS is kinda between the RX480 RS and RX480 GTR (way better than the RX480 RX with if I have to believe Buildzoid 50A power stages meaning its VRM can push 300A to the GPU which it will never ever go to) and the RX580 GTR-S basically re-uses the RX480 GTR PCB meaning 360A or something. 

 

In the RX480 lineup, the GTR pretty much was the go-to card for the high-end RX480 and people got 1400+ mHz on them sustained. Same applies to the GTS and GTR-S. They're pretty much the best boards for an RX580.

[Poky22]

Ok like when I saw that GPU I thought it was really poorly built and not durable.
