Hey
I've been meaning to upgrade my graphics card for a while now and was waiting for the RX 480 to be released. It looks pretty decent for the price but the price wasn't exactly my only deciding factor and I guess I was expecting the 480 to be a bit nippier. I'm willing to spend around £250 if it gives better bang for buck and longevity, a free game is always nice too, but if the gains aren't massive then something for around £200 is nice.
Current specs:
- HD 7870
- i5 ~4.5GHz
- 8GB 2666MHz
I game at 1080p and probably will for the foreseeable future. I also won't be upgrading to Windows 10 for a while but no doubt I eventually will.
What would you guys go for in my situation? I'm actually leaning towards a 970 as it seems to slightly edge it but comparing the 4GB 480 price I just wonder if it's worth it.
