Specs in sig.
Just sold the RX550 I had running this and want something thats ideally VR compatible for the future. I'm running a 3480x1440 34" display with freesync support so thought best to stick with AMD.
I have a PS4 Pro and Xbone One S for gaming. Not really got much time for gaming these days especially on PC but would like to leave the option available for later (i.e. not get too pants a card!).
Got a STRIX Motherboard with a Corsair 540X tempered glass case so Ideally want a matching STRIX AURA type card (potential to watercool later when I get time).
Problem I've got is do I go all out for a stock VEGA 56 card (top end of my budget and on offer this week @ OCUK) - then leave it till later to waterblock it all up OR just get something like the STRIX 580?
STRIX 1070 is slightly out of my budget and was probably ideal but I'll lose freesync support. Also read Nvidia are better for VR.....
thanks in advance.
Alternative is to just plump for a 570 or 1060 STRIX and wait it out until new cards arrive - for so late in 2017 it all seems a tad disaapointing!
oh and I refuse to spend more than £300 on a gfx card unless its got super powers.
