I will be buying a new card in the near future and I would like some opinions. I have in or around 250 euros. The prices of cards in Ireland are more expensive, so I'm looking at cards like:

if you won't overclock, the oem cooler won't be a problem

Does that store provide the free gaming bundle with Radeon cards?

 

Are you going to overclock your card?

 

 

If you answered "No" on these two questions, then there's no point in getting a more expensive 7950. The 7950 and GTX760 are pretty much equal unless you're aiming for overclocking. And not every store provides their Radeon cards with free games. That ASUS GTX760 or an MSI N760 card are perfect cards for 1080p gaming.

Case: Lian Li O11-dynamic mini | CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X | GPU: AMD Radeon RX6800 | Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B550 E-Gaming | Memory: 32Gb 3600Mhz G. SKILL Trident Z | PSU: Corsair SF750 Platinum | Cooling: Lian Li Galahad AIO 240 | Case fans: Lian Li Unifans

There is a point - 3GB VRAM means it'll last longer allowing him to wait longer before his next upgrade ^_^

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball
