9800GT

[Chrim Holmes]

Hello,

been a while since I upgraded, so I'm currently on a 9800GT green edition gfx card.

My new screen is 4k, so I'm looking for a graphics card that exceeds 9800gt in games performance, but will display 4k Video for movies. I'm not after playing games at 4k as I'm more of a retro gamer and programmer. The highest res I'm likely to game at is 1920x1080 at most.

My preference is AMD as the mobo supports crossfire in case I get another gfx card in future, but I could easily be convinced to go for an Nvidia.

I've seen the nvidia 1030GT recommended as it has the required HDMI version, but can anyone suggest an alternative? My new CPU is an i5-750 with 8GB RAM, just to give some context.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

C

Games like supreme commander, total annihilation, mafia, vietcong (as i said, retro). Occasionally might have a play on civ6 or mass effect but nothing too taxing. PSU is 700w.

Thanks

Think the 1050ti looks great, but id rather not spend more than £80 if possible.

Like i said, i just want 4k video display for movies and desktop. For games only want to improve on the 9800gt. Any card that does that fulfils my requirements. The 550 nails it.
