Hi guys,

About 4 years ago now I ordered my entire pc from OCUK, it has served me well until now, which is a really impressive lifespan :) however my 560ti can no longer run games at ultra (fallout 4 for example)
I spent about £250 on my 560ti those years ago and am looking for a modern day replacement.

So my budget is around £250, which card should I get? Nvidia please :)
Thanks
Joe

What CPU do you have? PSU up to scratch?

Any 390 or 970 should do you nicely.

Cheers for the replies guys, ok I'll wait until Friday,
CPU is an i5 2500k , PSU was upgraded to an aerocool strike-x 800w modular silver rated. 12gb ram.

Thanks for the links

Oh and the 560ti was more accurately around £230 I think. It is the twin frozr MSI overclocked 2gb card though. Has served me well :)

Have a feeling it's the same model as what I got my son 4 ish years ago, He too has a 560ti with same CPU as yours, Not a corsair case by any chance is it with a z68 gigabyte board ;)

Been eyeing up a 390 for him this year + a monitor. Damn Xmass can be expensive :(

Haha yes gigabyte z68 board and last year went for a corsair 540 case :)
 
980 isn't worth it over 970. If you are going 980 you're better waiting a bit longer and going 980ti. I say that as someone owning 2x 980s but that was before 980ti existed.
 
They are both just as good but the Gigabyte has got a UK RMA service if you have issues.

Should have got on yesterday as there was a 390 @ £205.
