Hello

 

So i am looking at 3 graphic cards that i wish to purchase and all of these are around my budget (i seriously don't have to money to buy anything better)

And im just thinking is there a "best" version? I obviously want the best performance and value for money so i would appreciate anyone's experience with the cards or even if you know (in your own personal opinion) what one of these cards is the best. Thank you, the cards are as follows:

When the NDA lifts for RX 480 benchmarks. It's always worth to look at other options. For all we know, it could be better.

ToT is not the most reliable source as his older reviews have been shoddy. Wait for PC perspective later today.
