That would be a great idea.

 

Though it may not do 60 FPS at 1080p on ultra settings for really demanding games.

Would an upgrade from a Amd 7870 Sapphire ghz edition 2gb to a Amd sapphire 480 nitro at 1306 ghz 8gb a good idea,or is there a better card in that price range to consider?

 

PS,i am manly looking for a card for 1080p gaming that can achieve a stable 60 fps in modern games on high to ultra settings.

It depends on how much you're able to overclock and how much of a bottleneck the CPU was really causing to the GPU.

 

But I wouldn't set expectations very high.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

480 is good or a 1060 does the job aswell for what you want(3GB is ok but 6GB is a better 1060, what is a better option with also comming years in mind). It depends on budget, availability and price.

The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.
