Need a GPU upgrade.

[Stan_CR7]

So I've decided to upgrade my graphics card from the awful gt710 I currently have. My specs are:

 

core i5-4460

gt710

Gigabyte h81m-s

450W psu

1TB HDD

 

I'm looking for a decent performance, no more than 1080p resolution. I'm even fine with running games at 720p at medium settings, but I'd like that to happen after newer games come out. What I mean is, I'd like a card that has the potential to play games that comes out even a year or two later at least at 720p with medium settings. The games I would like to play are the big graphics demanding ones like the Witcher 3, Battlefield 1, Far Cry 4, Doom, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Resident evil 7, etc. I don't know if I've given the necessary info, if I'm doing this right or not, and it's my first time ever posting on a forum so please be kind. ^ω^

Also, the budget can be varied, it'd help better if you could recommend one from each price range. (Also, I prefer nvidia.)

15000 INR(Indian rupees) or below.

20000 INR or below.

25009 INR or below.

Get a GTX 1060, or a 960 or a 750ti.. Nvidia has a lot of budget options for you.. Stay on the gree side.. we have cookies

I've never understood why some of their cards have "ti" in their name. Is it just a naming thing or does it carry any special features?

[Cyndre1033]

15000 INR is about 225 dollars, so you could get an RX 480 4gb. I would go with Radeon for your use case, because the RX 480 does much better than the GTX 1060 in DX12 and Vulkan, and if you want to keep this card for a couple of years you would really like the longevity given by nice DX12 performance. I'll be back for the other price points.

ti = more superduper than non ti versions.

 

what you want is a 1060 or 1050 with ti behind the number if you can afford it.

which one? pick a color, all the same more or less. go for the highest number you can afford :-)

and stay green, because I hate red for no reasonable reason at all

Despite your preference a 480 is a very good option: https://in.pcpartpicker.com/product/7wgPxr/msi-radeon-rx-480-8gb-gaming-x-video-card-radeon-rx-480-gaming-x-8g

 

P.S. This is a great deal btw.

 

P.P.S. what model is that PSU?

[Cyndre1033]

Unfortunately spending 20000 Rupees or about 300 USD would only get you a more expensive GTX 1060/RX 480 so in my opinion not worth it, save 5000 rupees and stay at RX 480 4gb

what 450watt PS is it?

Alright dude I'm seeing more people saying the RX 480 so I guess I'll do that. Use the extra on some peripherals I guess. But won't the heating be a problem? Or is it, like some people say, a myth that AMD still heats up more than nvidia?

[Cyndre1033]

25000 Rupees is about 375 USD. You could get a nice deal on a GTX 1070 at that price point. On Newegg US there is a killer deal on the ASUS Strix 1070, but you would have to check Indian websites to find prices where you are.

Get a card to push you through to next summer - hopefully at that time Vega is not only out and optimized - but it in stock. 

I got my 1070 in December, if it was January - i'd have stuck with the 770 to Vega. 

 

Even a 1050ti is pretty ok.

Mostly when people talk about AMD heat they talk about CPUs, but even then it isn't a huge problem anymore. Just get a 480 with nice cooling from someone like MSI (just make sure it isn't a reference cooler) and you'll be fine.

Can't say man, I had my friend come over this afternoon to check and all he said was it's 450W and that's all I had to know.

In acceding order of price and with that performance: 1050, RX 470 or 1060 3GB, RX 480 or 1060 6GB, 1070, 1080.

 

The RX 470 is the sweet spot for 1080p gaming currently. You can usually find the RX 470 and RX 480 for cheaper than Nvidia's offerings. Make sure the GPU you get has a good cooler or you could be dealing with high temps and no OC potential.

Thanks, I just saw one in Amazon which is an ASUS model with 8GB VRAM at ~21k INR.
