Best graphics card 1080p60 fps

[Michael_S]

Hello there,

I am building my first PC and I really don't know what to pick for my graphics card. As stated in the title, I would like to achieve a steady 1080p 60fps. I'm going for a rather cheap built (600-700$) so please consider this. I've found this one: MSI GeForce GTX 750Ti Gaming. is this any good for this setup?

 

thanks for reading, 

have a wonderful day

r9 380 or gtx 950. r9 380 is better.

 

750ti is outdated since 950 came out.

i think something like r9 380 or gtx 960 would be more appropriate.

I don't know what the price ranges are, i am a noob...

I would recommend a I5-6400 and a GTX 960. Or if you want to stick with AMD; a 380.

 Why bother with the 380x/960 when you can still have a skylake i5 and a 390...(hell you can get a 6500 and a 390 and still be in budget as that sapphire 390 isn't the cheapest but I sapphire is the EVGA for AMD so...)

Build with a 6500 instead of a 6400, XFX 390 instead of a sapphire 390 (no big difference, XFX is actually my favorite brand after my great PSU RMA I've had with them) and a cheaper case but the point still remains there, you can get a 390 and a skylake i5 in a $700 budget

Manufacturer doesn't make a big difference unless you are planing some OC

It can make a difference especially if doesn't want to OC since many cards have a factory OC, and not a small one.

Yes, but many manufacturers have cards with factory OC, some have more oc than others

Very good list. Just throw in an SSD too.

Temps for the Sapphire Nitro are really impressive. Only 54 degrees under load and 28 degrees on idle as shown here:
I'm sure the XFX sits around 35-40 on idle and reaches 75 degrees under load

The Sapphire is a tiny bid better (10 mhz lol). Sapphire one has better cooler so in general that should overclock better. It all depends on your chip though.

You say that like it's a bad thing but the 380 can be up to 15% better and cost less.

No no! I think that the 380 is just as good as the 960, if not even better. (saw that my post had two dots at the end, which made it seem like i didn`t like the 380)

That's why I first linked the nitro as I heard how they run very cool...basically as cool as my OCed 290x with a h75
