Which graphic card is needed for 1080p esports gaming

[Kartikey Vashisht]

Guys need some help, i want to build a gaming pc for Esports like CS:GO and Dota2, i will get a 144hz monitor, wanted to know that will an RX 460 or 560 handle 144+ fps to utilise the 144 hz monitor. 
Cpu i chose :ryzen 5 1400
I am on a tight budget so cannot afford gtx 1060.
Resolution is primarily 1080p for esport titles

Can you afford an RX 570? That would be leagues ahead of the 560/460.

an RX 560 will be fine at 144Hz 1080p but not at max and possiably not even high. i would definatly get an RX 570 or higher if you want to do 144Hz

[manikyath]

470/570 sounds about right, certainly to get a bit of extra GPU headroom (which will totally come in handy at some point).

 

that said, if budget wont allow for a 470/570, get a 460/560, it'll be good enough after maybe tweaking some settings.

brand new rx570 or a second hand gtx 970

Just get a Titan Xp and call it a day.

terrible idea

even an i3 Kaby would be a better idea than that - those games are IPC dependent and Ryzen doesn't perform in that department; it will also hit your hi FPS capability

[ivan134]

Yes, a 560 will handle that.

You're not supposed to turn up any graphical quality settings anyway. If maximizing frame rate is your goal, those should be the first things to go.

 

I would argue resolution should be there, but I also can't think of why you'd want to do that. Yes frame rate goes up, but the amount of visual information goes down.

i was looking these up the other day, damn they have gotten cheap

The entire Maxwell line up has gotten considerably cheaper, there are some asking prices on 980ti's that makes me wonder how come brand new 1070's are even sold

Gotta be true Userbenchmark says the value & sentiment of a kaby lake i3 is INFINITELY better than the 1400

Spoiler

Jokes aside the 1400 is a really good CPU for more extended usage but if gaming at high fps on those e-sports is your sole purpose considering a locked kaby lake really isn't wrong idea.

mate .. what the shit?

 

I talking about reviews that showed the R5 1400 being a very poor performer

i actually looked over this one, yes, defenately get an i3

Hahahah I'm sure not one to mind it, I always tell my desktops to draw as much power as they have to from the wall as long as it provides me their best performance

Come on it was just a joke because it bugged out and shown the infinite thingy   I agreed with you on it [:

can we agree that userbenchmark should get rid of that value & sentiment thing like.. yesterday?

If you could really buy a brand new 980 Ti with a warranty for somewhat less than a 1070, that would be lovely. In reality, at least of what I can see in the U.S. market, your options for 980 Ti's are refurbished, Ebay, or $700+ from a third-party.

indeed it would, second hand alternatives from ebay and what not can sometimes still prove of very worthy deal nonetheless, hell I bought my Maxwell Titan X from second hand, a blind shoot since the asking price was significantly cheaper from an user account who had only sold a monitor once but he mentioned he was making a SLI 1080 to replace it and all... went with faith and end up with a super well cared card fully functional and gold silicon.

 

Gotta have faith in luck sometimes.

wanna hear something that will make people triggered, i have a gtx 1080, i play csgo at 1280x1024 at very low settings 

[bakidota]

Mate it doesn't matter if you get a 460, 560, 570, 580 or 1060 for those two games csgo and dota2. For those games all that matters is the cpu, for dota2 if u want good fps you must go with an i5 and if u want really really good fps a i7 is a must, for 144hz dota2 i would consider an i5 a bare minimum

why triggered? most people play at 1024x768, some a bit above like yours, and some a bit below like 800x600, thats very normal resolution for csgo

because people who dont play csgo will throw the usual, why get a graphics card like that to play on that res.

[AntonChigurh]

A 560/570 will do fine, but not on high settings. But let's be honest, if you're doing competitive esports you're probably at lowest settings anyway just to get max framerate.

In my country, even rx 460 sapphire nitro(4gb) model costs 171$USD, and the rx 470 costs around 280$USD on amazon(india)

Can barely fit in a card in 600$ budget
