Budget 4K GPU

[Vertikull]

Hey everyone!

I'm moving to 4K gaming and I need your help. As you can tell from my signature, I have a GTX 1060 3gb. I know this can game at 4K on Low Settings but I want something decent at 4K.

 

I'm not the most knowledgeable for 4K stuff but here is what I was thinking for budget 4K gpu's (Yes, I know that ultra settings will be impossible and I don't mind playing on Medium or turning down settings(My board can support Crossfire but not SLI))

- GTX 1070(got a deal for $350 if i accept)

- RX480 Crossfire (will only do this if I can get both cards for a combined $500)

- 980ti - Not sure though if this is better or worse then my current

 

Anyway, would very much appreciate some help . . .

save money for a 1070ti

i would say it is the minimum. with my 1070 with anti-aliasing off i get about 70-85 fps on 1440p. mind you my 1070 is clocked to 2177mhz so a bit lower for the stock one

for reference:

2x 480s=>gtx 1080(in games that support crossfire)

gtx 980ti = gtx 1070

350 dollars for a 1070 is a steal atm, unless you can get the 980ti for cheaper, get the 1070

Sell your 1060 3 GB and try to look for GTX 1070 Ti/1080

If you live anywhere near civilization, you will find out the prices for new graphics cards shot up like mad, even old ones see inflations (GTX 1080 costs $800 each, most of the time out of stock). Your graphics card upgrade will need to be postponed unless you can spend more.

 

The good thing is, Youtuber 2kliksphilip seems to enjoy his time with a GTX 670 on 4K with carefully adjusted graphics settings back in the past, so it's possible you dont need the upgrade at all.

I would go for 1080 or 980 ti if you oc. Most 980 ti´s go up to 1500mhz no problem ;).
