Graphics Card Needed!

[Terabyte_Joe]

Okay, so i'm doing a PC build in a couple months and i'm looking for a card that can run some good quality games on 1080p high settings. My price range is around 180-240 USD (since I live in the United States). Since I am an active watcher on the linustectips channel, I turned to the forums. So, What graphics card should I get.

The R9-380 is a great card for that price.

You should consider an R9 290 with an aftermarket cooler.

They usually go for 200-250ish used on eBay.

 

But for Brand new, R9 380 with 4GB.

try to get a used 290x (or even a 7990) or something like that if you don't mind temperature

Ok, so the r9 290 or r9 290x both take a lot of power. Like 750w to 1000w. An with the r9 380 there are two of them on amazon. The first one is the Sapphire Radeon nitro r9 380 and then there is msi r9 380.

What? The last I checked, the r9 290/x uses only 250-300w.

R9 290 is fine on a mediocre 450W. R9 290X is fine on a decent 500W - stock of course.

A good 550W PSU will allow you to OC either of those.

R9 290 uses about 290-320W

R9 290X uses about 300-350W

A R9 380 only uses about 190W

oh cause on the product details it said 750-1000w, so thx for clearing that, I thought I had to get like two power supplies.

R9 380 is a solid choice. but want more oomph? might consider an used (if you prefer) R9 290...

 

and I'm sorry, but nvidia simply has no competitor right now at your price point.
