Good 1080p Card?

[Firebirdss]

I am looking for a card that I could buy for under 200 USD. That can push 1080p @ 60<FPS for under 200$. That has a low power draw. As I don't have a PSU that has a 6 or 8 Pin connector. And the most demanding game that I play is Ark Survival Evolved. And that doesn't half to be at Ultra settings I can deal with any game on medium to low. But I want to be able to immerse my self in games and see good graphics.

Rx 470/Rx 480 4gb if you can get it, although what cpu you got?

[Guest]

1060 3gb can go as low as that

480 4gb / 480 8gb also

I would get 470 if that's your last choice but 1060 3gb beats it anyway

if you don't have a PSU with a PCIe power connector, I think you're going to have to go 1050ti as anything with more performance above that will require PCIe power from your PSU.

the best 1080P card for under 200 USD is the RX 480 4GB card

 

like @Zyndo says

 

if your PSU is a low wattage unit

 

the GTX 1050Ti is the contendor

[Firebirdss]

I have been looking at the 1050Ti but I only have i believe 325 Watt PSU.

My GTX 960 4GB rocks at 1080p high settings GTAV. 60FPS vsync locked at 60hz, 80+ unlocked.

It should still work, recommended wattage is 350, 25 watts isn't much. Really unless there's some rx 470 with no pcie plug, the 1050ti is going to be your best bet.

Ok thank you. My next question then would be how does it hold up to recording, with the Nvidia Codec?

What cpu do you have? Your PSU will be fine using a 1050 ti as long as the card does not have a pcie power connector. it will do great recording games with Nvidia shadow play or bandicam using Nvidia hardware acceleration

I use OBS Studio which comes with Nvidia's encoder. And I have a Q8300 but I am gonna buy a whole new board. With a A10 7700K CPU so I am not worried about that the. GPU will allow me to get into games. Once I can afford the new board and CPU ill buy it. And I am not getting the K series because I want to overclock I am getting it because its 10$ more then an A8 that runs at a slower clock speed. And I am getting just a 40$ board as I do not have the money to buy expensive stuff.
