Best nvidia GPU for £200-£230

[Jel]

What is the best nvidia GPU for 200-230 GBP?

 

(Or is it even worth upgrading?)

My current setup:

just stick with this...

you can add a few more for a 970, but then u can get a 390 for better performance than a 970 in games

but its just not worth the upgrade

[Becausei'mBatman]

if u are dying to upgrade, wait for the new gpu's and see which is better

(geez, dat setup.......)

 

Don't get anything. Wait for Pascal / Polaris. Once it comes out, wait a few weeks for benchmarks, sell your 380 and then get the best card available.

really with that setup, you are ahead of most people. i would go for a few new games over a upgrade unless the games you want to play just dont have the frame-rate you. want.

you wont get a team green gpu thats better than the r9 380 for that budget

you could sell your gpu and get a brand new gpu from the upcoming nvidia/amd generation

whats your display? you might have to spend some money on a better visual experience like a nice IPS panel for better colors etc

I don't believe Polaris or Pascal will be that much better than the current generation. At least, not Pascal.

[Bl00dgod]

imo i think they'll have a few % better performance for less watt, and as you could imagine MORE RAM .... HBM RAM

imagine a new titan whatever with 30gb of ram, so 4k resolutions wont be a problem in perspective of the ram usage

 

sure they improve as the time passes

how do you know we know nothing yet of polaris or pascal how can you make a decision that pascal is going to be bad

I would say someone is more of a fan boy saying pascal is going to be bad before we have seen anything.

Well for example Nvidia hasn't mentioned anything about gaming performance. Only blabbing on about how their new GPU has better performance when using deep learning apps, nothing there about games. AMD has only shown us a very small amount of information their new stuff... doesn't really interest me. Again I could be proven wrong but i'm not holding anything to it.

Agreed.

 

We're getting a node shrink along withe the possibility of new VRAM (GDDR5X and HBM2), I can't imagine neither of the new GPUs to be any bad. I'm really hoping they'll blow our socks off, both Nvidia and AMD.

AMD might be showcasing some Polaris today:

 

You might want to check that out.

not a fanboy i just refuse to have someone make a decision based on information that is not currently known 

[danrey84]

Either way there are going to be improvements on both sides. AMD always offer great bang for buck and Nvidia do what they do really well but are a little more costly. Just ordered a 980Ti today as we here in the UK just had a price drop on the 980Ti too below 500 pound. FTW

I didn't word that right :c I meant the guy who said Pascal would be bad is a fanboy.

1080 is GDDR5X - guess Nvidia are skipping HBM for now

I'm a fanboy for saying Pascal would be bad? I didn't say it was bad, I just said it wouldn't be worth the upgrade. Plus I have a 980 Ti so what are you getting at?

i think they are using hbm for titan but again we know little about it
