Graphic card upgrade

[Joe2as]

My N460-GTX got spoiled, and i need an upgrade to that graphic card. I do not know what to get and my budget is £400 max, also i want to play games and I am a 3D animator. please let me know what graphic card to buy thanks

This what I was told by someone and i just want to make sure (MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GAMING X Video Card)

my mother board is: Gigabyte - GA-H55M-UD2H Micro ATX LGA1156 Motherboard

thanks

I'd jump up to a 1070 or if you can go 25 quid over budget get https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-348-ms.html

Big boost in performance over a 1060

1070 aint massively faster so i wouldn't.
See if you can run the budget out a bit more to get a 1080 or a vega 56 which has the added judos of being unicorn poop and just having one is an amazing achievement

1070ti a lot cheaper then 1080

Nvidia 1070 for £400: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/zota...ddr5-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-103-zt.html

AMD might be a better prospect for DX12 and beyond with the Vega 56 but it's over budget at £450 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/powe...hbm2-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-191-pc.html

What rendering software do you use? Vega usually puts up a good showing there too.

thanks for the feedback everyone, @Pants i use the new Arnold render in Maya, but i'm not big on renders cause i mostly animate, but i would love to have a good agreement on which will be better i don't mind putting (a little) extra money on it but i do want good performance.

i think most things are going to be a huge upgrade compare to you N460-GTX

There are some 1070ti for just under £400 which will do you absolutely fine for a long while

Simply overclock the GTX 1070ti to give yourself GTX 1080 performance.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 1070Ti EX 8192MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £398.99

Total: £408.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)



Although, many are expecting Nvidia to release their next-gen cards within 2 months - so waiting could be a good idea if you're not desperate.​

thanks everyone i really appreciate the advice

I would buy a used EVGA GTX 1080 over a new 1070/ti if you can stretch your budget by £20 or so.

if you look around you can get a 1070ti for under £400. if you need to buy right now and £400 is you top budget, that is what i would get.

that said.... hmmm, that is a gen 1 i3/5/7 mobo isnt it? if so the rest of your rig may be a big bottleneck

 

[koooowweeee]

What PSU do you have? You might not be able to power a 1070 (or whatever you get)

I had the 1080 Armor and as much as I wanted to loath it it was actually a very nice card.
