New gpu ~£150

[Fluke?]

So my HD7970 died at exactly the wrong time and I need a new gpu!

I'm not gaming all the much atm and the only games coming out anytime soon that I might get chance to play will be the new Doom game and anything GTA or Fallout related.

My shortlist is:

GTX 1060 3GB @ £160
HD480 8GB @ £185
HD580 8GB @ £220
GTX 1060 6GB @ £220

Is there anything I'm missing? I'm sort of burdened to buying from a cetain high s retailer thanks to vouchers hence the specific prices.... (mod remove if necessary)

TIA chaps!

the RX480 is a good shout at that price. wouldn't spend the extra on the 580 and the 3gb 1060 is pointless.

rx570 as a middle man?

you will probably be better off with nvidia anyways for those games.

Secondhand 7970?

The 580 by far. Easily twice the performance of the 7970. Overclock well too.

If not that a second hand 980ti.

Unless you're extremely lucky you wont get a 980ti under £200

Yeah I can't see me getting a 980ti for that sort of money. In fact the place where I need to get it from is actually selling them for closer to £300.

I'm edging towards the 480 at the moment as I really don't want to be spending over £200 and for me I can't justify it.

Consensus being that the 480 is better than the 1060 3gb though yep?

Being the 8gb model, then definitely.
