What GFX Card for these games?

DomBruv · 9 Nov 2017 at 09:56

Before you ask for my full spec it will be a Ryzen 5 1600 set up with at least a 550w psu and 16GB RAM

I mainly play Paladins, Warframe and thinking about maybe GTA and PUBG.

Should I buy Nvidia or AMD Card for these games?

I always stuck with AMD and I always will when it comes to CPU but I'm maybe thinking otherwise for the GFX Card

Many thanks as always for all your help guys

I think PUBG and GTA are better on Nvidia. Not sure of the other two. Anyone?

Gtx 1060 6GB is probablly your best choice for your budget but if your gaming at 1440p you may be better off saving a few more pounds and getting a gtx 1070.

Are they better than the 580's? I really like them but i guess if Nvidia perform better I'm better off getting that

The 580 and gtx 1060 performs simallarly but depending on game can swing one way or the other, as mentioned above GTA V performs slightly better on Nvidia.

I would sugest you read some reviews and see what price you can get either card for.

Below is one of the latest reviews of the 580 but has bemnchmarks of the 1060 which would acount for driver updates of both cards..

THe other option is to save up a bit more and get a gtx 1070 which is suited at 1440p gaming.

This review shows a GTX 1060 getting 65fps on GTA V at 1440p on max detail. As long as you don't mind dropping down to V.High or High in some games then it should be fine.

I was watching a YouTube video from one of those American pc builders you see(not Linus tech tips) playing PUBG fairly well on a ryzen 1200 and 1050ti though setting a had to be tweaked, was playable given how unfinished the game is, so you would want 1060 onwards or rx 570 onwards.
