Everywhere I check the RX 480 is out of stock and I need it ASAP cause I don't live in the US and my relatives are bringing me the parts... By any chance do you know where I can find one? (Preferably the 4GB $100 Variant)

Contact this forum member, they insist the RX 480 is easy to find.

Hey guys. I have to chose between these 2 cards. Which of these GTX 960s is better suited for a casual gamer? (Call of Duty, Minecraft and Battlefield)

Does it make a noticeable difference between the 2GB and 4GB varients?

Just Get The EVGA SSC 4.0gb, yes it makes a difference between 4 and 2 gb of vram, in fact now we start so see some games go over 4gb in vram usage. It will definatly make a difference in Battlefield 4 +. Unless you are rendering HD texturepacks for minecraft and Call of Duty You may not see a difference. OR If You have a few more pretty pennies get a Gtx 970 For better overall gpu preformance.

If you really want a 960, buy a used one. I'm seeing 4GB versions pop up on Craigslist for $100-115 here. There's absolutely no reason to buy a 4GB 960 when a 4GB 480 is the same price. Signed, 960 Owner.

The 960 will bottleneck your CPU, get a 970 at least

In any properly built system, the GPU SHOULD be the bottleneck. no sense buying a titan if you're running a pentium.

4GB $100 variant of what? The 4GB 960s I've seen are all used, secondhand cards. If a 480's out of the question, look into something like this.

Bull. I'm running a 4GB 960 on a 4790K and it's not bottlenecking anything.

$199.99 Budget ???

[AndyKala]

Dude buy a 480, or a 970. 960 isn't gonna be enough. Or, use your integrated APU until 1060 is released.

Fine, but he should still get a 970 as he won't reach the full potential of the i5 with a 960

I'm not using the i5 primarily for gaming, but more so for editing and rendering

Go with the half length EVGA 4GB card, then.

Everywhere I check the RX 480 is out of stock and I need it ASAP cause I don't live in the US and my relatives are bringing me the parts... By any chance do you know where I can find one? (Preferably the 4GB $200 Variant)

And dyu know around how much the 1060 will cost? I'm on a $200 budget for the GPU

If you got $200 GPU budget, I guess 4GB 960 is your best choice. Don't be expecting much. 1060 Should be like $260 BTW.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the GPU being the bottleneck, which would be true.

Your best bet is to purchase an RX 480 4GB. It will give you performance on par with the GTX 970 (~$260) and R9 390 (~$290), and it will do it at $200, which is your budget. It's also newer than the other two cards and has better directX 12 performance. The power delivery issue will not affect you if you're running an LGA1151 board. A GTX 960 at $200 was always and still is a relatively poor buy. And with the RX 480, the R9 380 ($200) and 380X ($240) are now completely obsolete. 

Even if you are unable to buy an RX 480 ASAP, it would be a stupid decision to buy something else because of time. Wait another few weeks if you must for them to come back into stock, it would better than waiting a few years for a GPU upgrade. 

The 1060 is a bit of a wild card, because it has yet to be released. However, all the evidence points to it being outside of your price range, which makes it illogical to wait for its release.

See, it's that kind of attitude that isn't going to get you anywhere in life.

 

Tell you guys what, just to prove that not everyone on the internet is a bad person; I will sell both of my 8GB Powercolor RX 480's for MSRP ($239.99) right now. First person to message me gets one, while the other is reserved for the OP of this thread unless he doesn't want it. No scalping, no bullshit. All I ask is that you let me run a couple benchmarks when they come in tomorrow. After that, it will go back in the box and out to you.

 

If you are in the US I'll cover shipping. Elsewhere: we can talk.

 

@Adisaur: message me.

Actually my attitude has gotten me everything. You assume I care if people like me  

 

Excellent response though. You made the argument that the RX 480 was easy to find. When proven wrong, you made it available to someone who needed it.

<3 lol thanks! Do you by any chance know when the Rx 480 4gb will be properly and fully released/restocked?
