GPU Upgrade recommendations

[linwelin]

Hi my spec is in my sig, GPU really starting to struggle with newer games aka AC4 BF4 Titanfall etc, i only game at 1080p i only have £80-90 to spend, don't mind second hand but no idea what would give best value. I am not bothered AMD/Nvidia


Thanks.

Either up your budget to £110 and get a R7 265 (essentially a HD7850 rebranded), or a 2nd hand 7850 2GB for around £70.

Ok have upped my budget to £170 what is best bang for buck guys ?

i have been looking at this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-245-MS but i am unsure.

also MSI GTX 760 @175£ http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-206-MS

still 760 or r9 270x you will have to concede a lot of options to have playable fps.

better to grab a 2nd hand 280X at least for the extra 1Go of ram, next gen games will start coming soon, and probably memory usage along with it. and a single card still holds well fps at maxed settings

I use to have the Thermalright Silver Arrow in my CM-690 II, which is one of the biggest air cooler around...(though it was a tight fit with probably only around 5mm clearance from the panel).

I saw this video (as well as measured the length from the CPU socket to the edge of the case) to make sure I bought the Silver Arrow:
