best graphics card for £400?

[MrViper]

My ATI R9 280X 3GB has broken and my dad is buying me a replacement for an early birthday present

I have this in my basket and I'm just checking if I can do better for the budget

I'm still running an overclocked 2500k that played borderlands 3 OK

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 OC 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £379.99
• 2 x OcUK Value 1m White LED HDMI v2.0 Braided Cable (99HD4-01WT)= £2.99

Total: £403.37 (includes shipping: £17.40)
​

Do not buy a 1660, it's one of the worst price/perf out there, even in this market. I'd say wait for RTX 3050 to re-stock that should be <400.

Otherwise https://www.overclockers.co.uk/sapp...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-39r-sp.html or https://www.overclockers.co.uk/giga...ddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-1dn-gi.html

Gibbo's deal is probably the best you'll get for that money.

This, grab it tomorrow for £350.

It's not nVidia but at that price it's hard to say no esp with OPs budget.

Sapphire 6600 for £349 is cracking in the current climate, and these days they have 3yr warranty so all good

For info note that they usually take 1.5/2hrs from order time to pick the order ready for collect. Sometimes a little longer but out of about 10/15 collections during the pandemic this is the usual thing I've experienced. Morrisons with cafe across the road if you're a little early though

The shop is no longer open, you can collect but a member of warehouse will bring it to your car as per the instructions emailed to yourself when ordering with the collection option.

Deal will be live 9am onwards on the homepage and in the 6600 section.

Likely never I am afraid, I think it is generally thought it does not give a ROI, but its not a set in concrete decision but it does look unlikely to re-open I am afraid.

RiP OcUK Shop, great shop that was

 

[Tired9]

350 for a 6600 is a sweet deal.

 

[Uriel]

£350 for a RX 6600 is just about the best deal I can think of on the price-performance curve that's actually available at the moment.

Well lined up @Gibbo .

That’s a real shame, although I can understand the ROI perspective.

I’ve always enjoyed the excellent service from Simon and others…

Hopefully it’ll resurrect….
