Replace faulty rx480

[dtsrules]

My son has had no joy the last 18 months with graphics cards

He bought a r9 280x oc iceq version that went faulty, he then bought a bad batch asus dual rx480.

He's after another card in the 1060 range, value upto about £280

I have no idea what to get

HELP!!

I like Gigabyte - great quality and UK RMA which seems particularly relevant with your poor sons luck of late:

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £239.99

Total: £249.89
(includes shipping: £9.90)

How come he didn't just RMA the faulty RX 480 and get a replacement?

Indeed good question.

He is RMA'ing it, they are giving him his money back. Just doesnt want another AMD card

Get a 1060 then

As mentioned G1 should do him well, Wind force version. £10 cheaper if he hasn't got the room for the longer G1

Thanks guys, will get him to sort one when he gets his refund.

I'd go second hand 1070 for that sort of money personally, evga or gigabyte for warranty
