Budget GPU Upgrade

[Luithian]

I will be upgrading my GPU soon. The use of the word "upgrading" is a slight understatement in that I don't technically have a GPU, Intel HD 4400 FTW!

There are 3 contenders in the ring, and all 3 are viable candidates.

 

In the Red Corner:

The R7 360, currently priced at around £75

 

In the Green Corner:

The GTX 750 ti, currently priced at around £98

 

In the other Green Corner:

The GTX 950, currently priced at around £120

 

EDIT: The card will need to be powered by the PCI slot only, as my awful power supply has NO outputs for 6 pin connectors.

 

The main reason for my post is for opinions on whether spending the extra money would be beneficial to me, and that Intel's graphics drivers are about as useful as a pile of horse $h!7. That and I kinda messed it up and I can't undo it.

 

The upgrade has been a long time coming since I spent £230 for the system total, brand new then stole 4GB of 1333mhz RAM from my Gran's PC, since she doesn't need 8GB anyway.

 

All useful opinions are appreciated, thanks

R7 360 and 750 Ti perform the same. 950 performs better but if you aren't doing anything demanding then it's not worth. Also, Maxwell is shit in DX12

Wait for RX 460, RX 470 or maybe even GTX 1050.

I'd say 950. otherwise wait for 1050 or RX 460/470
