Need Help

[Yuizzy Souji]

Hi Guys , im running on a I3 2120  and a gtx 630 , im planning on upgrading cuz urgh i just cant , i really want to play new games .. im going on a jump with a really low budget , planning on getting either rx 470 or 480 , in my country its just around 20$ different between those two , i dont play all games at ultra settings , imma medium - high person .. so , which one you guys think worth the bang ..

For $20 difference, definitively get the 480.  Should be more than enough for 1366x768.

At that resolution a 470 will easily hit 60+ fps, a 480 would be overkill unless you plan to upgrade your monitor later on too.

because im planning on doing full upgrade in the mean time , but only for now . i'd upgrade the gpu first to play new games but , im not gonna upgrade the gpu again even if im doing the full upgrade later , thats why im planning on taking it .

Grab the RX 470..its more proper for your monitor resolution and ur rig.

If u buy the RX 480 ur cpu will bottleneck the GPU if u are planning or maxing out all settings.

But if u dont care about graphic and want to save more money buy the RX 460.

is it gonna bottleneck that much , cuz im planning on doing full upgrades after upgrading my gpu which is only for temporary of gaming  , i dont want to waste money on buying twice a gpu , cuz i might gaming on 1080 p with i5 , so yeah

Just get the 480 (I guess the 4 gigs?), for 20$ difference you will be happier with a 480, even if you encounter a bottleneck. When you will upgrade your CPU you won't be having to also change your GC.

ur cpu is the old gen 2 core i3.. buying rx 480 will obviously bottleneck if u are planning on gaming at 1080p with maximum settings.

If u just cant wait to play some games and planning to upgrade like 5 month later buy the rx 460 or used gpu like gtx 660 or hd 7770 and use it for a while.

But i recommend to just save ur money until u can fully upgrade ur entire rig.

i see , thanks for the advice ! i'll look forward to it perhaps i'd go with the rx 460 , or even if i did go for the rx 480 , i wont use it for 1080 gaming yet , staying on that montior first and gaming at average settings , what do you think ?

thats what i think too , i dont want to upgrade my gpu and reupgrade .. its 8 gigs btw , the 4 gigs cost me the same price as 470 ~_~

If youre definitely going to upgrade to a 1080p monitor in the future, and upgrade the rest of your system, you may aswell get the 480 now.

No point buying a cheaper one now, upgrading other parts in a few months, then having to upgrade your gpu again because it cant keep up.
