New graphics card

[JonoB]

I upgraded my system about a year ago to the following:

• Gigabyte B360M-D3H Intel B360 (Socket 1151) DDR4 Micro-ATX Motherboard
• be quiet! Pure Power 11 400W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
• Intel Core i7-8700

I need a new graphics card, as I've been running off the motherboard's graphics. I run linux and my gaming needs are relatively simple - mostly steam games. I'm guessing a budget of £100 to £150 should be fine?

Most importantly, it must be as quiet as possible, because this is my work PC. Its already almost completely silent, and I don't want that to be impacted under normal load.

What res, 1080p? What card were you using before on-board graphics?

I beieve it was a 750Ti.

My res is currently 1080p, but I'd like to future proof a bit if possible. I am considering a 4k at some point.

I'd consider raising your budget if you're planning on running a higher resolution.

Well form AMD you can nearly get a 570 or a 580 for £168/£170 or a rx5500xt on preorder for £170
or from NVidia for £160 you can get a 1650 super, but at the moment they are out of stock.

The 1650 supper is a little faster overall but there is not a lot in it either way.
