Need recommendation for gpu

[supergary]

Hi, so im looking to upgrade my very old, factory made hp pavilion p6-2018 es.

 

What im looking for is a decent gpu arround the 150-250 euro(270 dollars aprox) to play fallout, arma etc. Nvidia preferably. Motherboard has pciE 2.0 x16.

 

I will also purchase power supply (no need for recomendation but would not mind).

 

Thank you for your time.

He could get the 380 compact : http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-COMPACT-Version-Graphics-11242-00-20G/dp/B00ZGL8EBK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1449779603&sr=1-1&keywords=380+compact

Underpowered GPU much? The r9 285 is MUCH better than the 750 Ti, and the 380 is just a rebadge

The compact version was out of stock. And read above, didn't know there was a compact 380.

Thanks, if I go amd, I will look at those.

you have no other choice friend - either a 750 Ti that performs literally half as good as a 380 or a 970 which costs near double.

PS: Get a new PSU - pre-builts have awful fire hazard PSUs

[supergary]

Why do you want to upgrade?

I think a 8 year old gt 530 can no longer handle 1980p 60 fps swag

[supergary]

Is there something more beastly than 750ti. PCI x16(2.0), buying from spain, less than 270 us$(250 euro)?

The 750ti isn't beastly, it you want a GPU in that price range then get a 270 or 370.

I found this.

Thoughts/improvements, more bang for buck?

The 960 is worthless since the 380 is much better for the same price. get this instead: http://www.amazon.es/Sapphire-11242-07-20G-AMD-Radeon-380/dp/B00YXSL3YW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449919453&sr=8-1&keywords=380

15% slower than a 380, bad customer support, mediocre cooler, noisy fans

your PSU cannot handle anything above a 750 Ti as is

One more thing: Some cheap cpu fan paste? (mine is 5 years old)

[Senzelian]

I'm sorry, I didn't see that you wanted to game on it.

I guess your question has already been answered by now, but I highly recommend the GTX 950, R9 380 and GTX 960.
