My friend needs GPU help. Advice.

[centurion_08]

I'm taking the shorcut:

I need THE BEST PERFORMANCE PER BUCK GPU for up to: 130 pounds/260dollars.

 

Cards like 970 or 390X are out of question because budget.

 

The man is playing strictly in 1080p and he desires the best bang for the buck.

 

There's many hotheaded mofos here who can help. Please advice.

 

PS: Also, give couple of examples for different budget tiers if available.

Try and get a 960, 280, 285, 380 or 280x

£130 get a GTX 950, but if you could stretch that to £150, an R9 380 would be a LOT better.

if you don't mind paying a extra £2 this seems to be the best considering amd has a better price to performance ratio and the performance advantage of 4gb to 2gb.

pretty sure he can bump it up to £150... its not that much.

really depends on how strict of a budget, also 4gb will be more beneficial in the long-turn and even now.

Last minute advice.

 

After a short debate we came into conclusion.

 

960STRIX or R9 380

 

It's all about psu now. He has a OCZ 600w semi modular 80+.

 

Is he good to go?

the wattage should be more than enough and considering the good reputation of hardware companies (besides cheap £12 psu's) you are good to go
