[Teddy07]

Isnt the rx 480 $200 in the US? If yes then its an easy choice over the three listet above

Gtx 770 would be the best bang for your buck.

I'm in Canada though where the cheapest RX 480 in stock ATM is $365+tax+shipping.

I have the 1070 770, and it cant run new titles on 1080p

assassins creed syndicate runs under 60fps at minimum settings.

 

edit: i have the 770

I brainfarted because i am buying a 1070 soon

770 by a land slide, faster than all.

 

Though RX 480 4GB is only 200.... way faster yet.

OP Is talking about Canadian Dollars

There is also a R9 390 nitro for $300 but I would have to drive 30mins and get a 6pin to 8pin adapter for it.

What will you be playing?

Verdun, BF1, Rocket League, Arma 3, GTA V, and Civ V. I bought a i3 6100 and Gigabyte Z170-HD3 DDR3 mobo, but the mobo came DOA so I'm just RMAing it right now. The i3 6100 overclocked or stock shouldn't bottleneck the r9 390 too badly.

Don't worry about the CPU bottlenecking your GPU, get the best card you can afford. The new low level API's will rely more on GPU power than CPU power so you should be good in the long run. Check benchmarks for those games specifically and see which GPU vendor they are better optimized for if more games favor one over the other I think you will have your answer.

RX 480 or GTX 1060.

Whichever is cheaper where you live is the better option.

Performance wise, the 1060 is ahead now, but within 6 months, the RX 480 will be equal or faster. This is how it always go with AMD vs Nvidia cards.

So essentially, pick whichever one you want based on price.

BF1 will be AMD title.

Civ games tend to enjoy AMD more.

Rocket league, i dunno. It can run off a potatoe

Arma 3 and GTA V prefer Nvidia.

Dunno about Verdun.

Hello Hex4/LokiFire. If you have something productive to add, please do so. If not, please stop evading your ban.

I have a username under Recon-UK actually, and that's not banned.

 

I am Tom Hanks how may i help you.

 

FYI CIV was never better on AMD, it was mostly CPU limited, unless it changed in the latest iteration.

Civ 5 got patched for AMD cards. Never played the games, going off by online reports.

Civ 6 will be an AMD title. It was officially announced by AMD/Roy Taylor on twitter a few days back.

Bad news the card doesn't fit in my case it 308mm (12.1") and my case is 290mm (11.4") and if I tried to cut the drive bays it would have to be both, as the card sits in between the two bays. So I'll probably just buy the Asus GTX 770 unless the r9 380 has better dx12 support.

have you looked at the R9 380 ITX from Sapphire? that one is super tiny. But performs the same as a normal 380.

AMD cards, ever since the HD 7000 series has MUCH better DX12 performance then nvidias 700 series. Extremely much better.

 

Here is link to ITX

its super tiny.

 

EDIT:

you should also consider the GTX 1060 from EVGA, or the GTX 1060 Mini from ZOTAC. Both are very small, but will perform damn well. Although atm, very pricy.

[h3ll0]

So I'm getting the XFX r9 380 OC tommorow for $200CAD because it has 4GB RAM,better DX12 support, and fits in my case. I would have bought the r9 390 but it didn't fit in my case :(. I could have waited for the RX 480 or GTX 1060 however neither of them are in stock and would be $370+ once back in stock in Canada and I need an upgrade now. Also since most of the games I play are CPU bound (Arma 3, Civ V, Men Of War, Call to Arms, CoH 2) with only a few being gpu bound (BF:BC2. BF4, BF1, and Verdun) I don't need a card that can play most games at 40fps in 2560X1440 as I play at high settings at 1920X1200. Thanks for all your help everyone!

If you're buying older graphic card then I would go with AMD because it scales good with time.
