Upgrading my GPU

[Baionoido]

So I'm starting to feel like my computer can't handle newer games at reasonable graphic settings/fps and I'm wondering what I should upgrade to, this is what I currently got: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/44xgFd

 

I'm thinking I should upgrade my graphics card first, and I've been looking at the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 4G (230€) and for 20 euros more I can get XFX Radeon RX 480 RS Triple X 8GB (250€).

 

NOTE: I am waiting until christmas before buying one.

If you can get one with more VRAM. How about GTX 1060?

Unless you have a freesync monitor, you'd probably be better with a 1060

[masterzpcz]

Yeah the better choice is probably a 1060

How come?

If you get a 1060, get the 6GB, otherwise a 4GB 480 would be better than the 3Gb.

because the 1060 is better. the hell do you mean by why. Its like theres a chance we tell you to get a 1060 because its worse. Think.

1060 6gb is better. If the price is the same or similar enough, definitely go green team.

1060 6GB is 50€ more than than 8GB 480.

dont bother with 8Gb unless u are going to use 1440p monitor or tons of mod from nexus.

and u can get free-sync monitor in the future which are cheaper than g-sync counterpart hell much more cheaper.

 

I am planning on modding a lot, that's one of the reasons why I want to upgrade.

What makes you say it'll have better support for DX 12 in the future?

If 6GB 1060 is not overpriced in your country then go for it

[Megah3rtz]

go for RX480 4GB if you're only playing 1080p. if you want to play 1440p get the GTX 1060 6GB

6GB 1060 = 300€, 8GB 480 = 250€.

Go with 8GB 480. 1060 ain't worth extra 50

They're about the same. That doesn't tell me anything about the future.
