GPU Recommendation

[Zippin96]

I am looking to get a decent GPU. I want something that will run most sandbox type games with decent graphic settings, and good FPS, but I want to to do that without breaking the bank. Any advice?

 

Thanks,

Jacob

We need a bit more than that, I'm afraid. What's your price range for the card? A GTX 1070Ti is a pretty good performer for the money, and certainly a lot less expensive than a 2080Ti, but still a lot more expensive than an RX580, for example. 

What games specifically do you care about? What's "good FPS" for you? What resolution?

I am looking to play games like Skyrim, Far Cry 5, Just Cause 3/4, PUBG. At least 50 frames, looking to run at 1080p. I am no sure of a price range yet, but it will most likely be around $400 at the max. I don't have an exact price range yet, because I am saving to upgrade my processor. I am just wondering about a GPU so that I can keep my eyes and ears out for deals.

This is the RTX 2060, the best GPU under 400$. It will do 1080p and 1440p no problem and pretty good frame rates.

a gtx1660ti / $280 will suite you best at 1080P , very solid fps and perform same as gtx 1070, 

so you have more budget on other stuff

Have a look at the 1660(Ti)

 

perfect 1080p card

Pretty much. If you want to save about a hundred bucks, an RX590 will also push 60+ fps at 1080p High or Ultra in the games you mentioned. If you can spare the budget, the 2060 will be a better card. A 1660 Ti will perform somewhere in the middle, while being a lot cheaper than the 2060, but a bit more expensive than the RX 590. 

Make sure you get 6GB of VRAM, though. 3GB is probably fine for 1080 for now, but it'll hurt in the future for sure.

Yeah and make sure to have a look at the RX580 8GB good card and handles 1080p well . It is a good option if you want to have more leftover for the CPU

not that good of a 2060, it's a little loud

 

but outside of that i won't complain

Also, if the most CPU intensive thing you'll do is gaming, anything faster than a current gen i5 won't do you much good.

Well it is good enough,he can get a better one for a bit more but keep in mind he wants to upgrade his CPU so savin some money for that is a good idea

with something like a pro4 there's better for the money... that's why
