£200 1080p Card

Sirrel Squirrel · 30 Oct 2019 at 17:36

What would be the best card to buy with a £200 budget for gaming at 1920x1080?

Looking for an xmas present for my son to upgrade his PC, which is my old i5 4th gen office PC that has no GPU currently.

edit/ he particularly wants to play Rust.

you'll need to make sure the power supply is up to the job!

If your PSU is upto scratch I'd be grabbing a 1660 Super

As above.

You wouldn't be wrong if the budget was a tad lower, great cards for 1080p

Aye good timing, 1660 Super literally just came out

Defy Belief · 31 Oct 2019 at 07:05

1660 super makes the 1660ti so irrelevant, great for the price.

Mr G · 31 Oct 2019 at 09:04

Have to agree with the above recommendations, looks the best card for 1080p for the price.

Sirrel Squirrel · 31 Oct 2019 at 09:36

Thanks all, that makes the choice very straight forward with everyone in agreement!

Would you prefer to spend about £130? Because:

A) The 4 cores will probably bottleneck the GPU and
B)an RX 570 plays this game at 1080p

C) And RX 570 gave 62fps average over these games at 1080p (can be had for £130) compared to 74 with an RX 580 (can be had for £160 with Borderlands 3 so an extra prezzie for the lad) compared with 88 with a 1660 Super (£210 is best I can find)

YOU NEED TO CHECK YOUR PSU MODEL IS UPTO THE JOB - PLEASE OPEN YOUR CASE AND POST MODEL NUMBER

Ti might as well just be discontinued. Take some pressure off the AIB’s. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Nvidia’s SKU line up, so ridiculously stacked.

Rust is glorious. Im happy for him.

Did you see Jayz2cents video on it? He lays into Nvidia pretty hard. I hope the 5500xt can give the 1660 a good run for its money

amd cards with free borderlands 3 or tom clancy game make them a steal.
