What do you mean by budget? For roughly $200-$250 I would heavily recommend the RX 480.

What is your budget OP?

[DrMacintosh]

$200-250: RX 480

$250-300: 1060

$350+: 1070/1080

R9 290x, R9 390, RX 480, GTX 1060 are all good choices, the 1060 is the fastest out of the ones listed. 

 

That said, you can probably go up to a 1070 or 1080 with no problem.

But those dont really qualify as budget anything though.

Did you read my post? And what classifies as a budget gaming GPU? Budget means you have X money to spend and depending on the context it can mean multiple things. 

 

Don't try and be a post stalker trying to correct people who are NOT wrong.

Calm down dude, most people dont refer to a $300+ GPU as being budget.

Go either RX 480 or the GTX 1060. Pro for RX 480 is that it performs better in VR and DX 12, however the 1060 performs better in every other benchmark, and there are no games that really use direct x 12 unless your doing a 4k rig, which your not.
