What Graphics Card Should I Buy?

[Crowto]

Hello All.

 

I am currently in the market for a new graphics card, and am unsure on what card to get. There are lots of different people speaking about different specs of PCs. I understand most things about graphics cards, but am still unsure. I was wondering whether I should get a RX480 and then in the future (if needed) get another. Or, should I splash the cash and then spend the extra 100 pounds on a GTX1070, but in the future, having to buy a new motherboard if I want to SLI that thing.

 

My Current Specs Are:

-Intel Core i7 6700

-NVidia GTX 960

-Other misc. things that shouldn't really matter, at least I think they shouldn't.

 

So, what should I do, RX480 with the option of upgrading or should I get a 1070 without the option to upgrade?

 

I play games like DayZ and Arma, which I have heard run better on NVidia cards, but I don't know if that matters much in performance.

 

Thanks guys!

A single faster graphics card is always better than two weaker ones.

Agreed. And if you need more power in the future there is the option of sli-ing 2 1070's.

What resolution and settings would you like to play at?

Also, what PSU are you using?

1980x1080 at 144hz. Preferably mid-high settings. I have a 550w 80+ gold PSU also

Get the 1070

The thing is that by the time you feel like the rx 480 needs more power you would probably be better off buying a new card. Also the gtx 1070 would be better if you are going for a high refreshrate monitor
