Best GPU for around £130

[krustykobb]

I am looking for a graphics card for around £130 to do some light gaming, photoshop work and a little bit of video editing.

Any recommendations are appreciated, thanks

These are a bit over budget, but a fair bit better than what you'd get below £130. They also come with free games: the Nvidia card comes with Assassin's Creed 4 and Splinter Cell Blacklist, and the AMD card comes with Battlefield 4. Sell them (or factor in not having to buy yourself) and you'll be around your budget:

YOUR BASKET
1 x his radeon r9 270x iceq boost 2048mb gddr5 pci-express graphics card £149.99
1 x msi geforce gtx 660 gaming edition 2048mb gddr5 pci-express graphics card £136.99
total : £296.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).



below £130 you're looking at amd's 260x or nvidia's 650ti. there are gaming benchmarks for all these card available here: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/radeon_r7_260x_r9_270x_280x_review_benchmarks,17.html

Are Photoshop and video editing the kind of thing that benefit from CUDA? If so, I suppose Nvidia would be your best bet.

I might be better going with Nvidia, as I have just read that CUDA works in the Adobe Master Collection Suite, which is what I would want to be using, so I will most likely go with the Nvidia card
