R9 380. Upgraded 285.

 
 

You're kidding... right?

The 285 is an awkward card, it doesn't follow the same bigger number=better that the others do. Generally speaking it's 280<285<280x.

It's still uses less power and, more importantly, is MUCH better at tessellation than the 280X.

It means nothing. The 280x will perform better in games. Which is all that matters for you.

attachicon.gifmine.PNG         This is my GPU Gigabyte Gefurce gtx 650 1gb

 

attachicon.gifmine2.PNG       These are my options that no one decides whats better

 

None of the above. The GTX 960 is far and away the best match for an i3. The DirectX11 overhead on AMD cards causes them to lose huge performance when combined with Core i3 CPUs in many games. Specifically, the draw call overhead when there are a lot of objects on screen. Digital Foundry at Eurogamer.net have documented this extensively. They first found it in their GTX 960 review months ago and it shows up over and over in their benchmarks since. Almost no one else actually tests GPUs with Core i3s (most sites used overclocked i7s), but they do and their results say to steer clear of AMD cards with that CPU and instead go for a similarly priced Nvidia card.
