Need Help With Gpu Choice

Recommended Posts

I got a brand new build this June for about 400$ and the specs are:

Intel i5-4460 3.2GHz 6MB cache

8GB DDR3 RAM

Asus H81M-R motherboard

1TB SATA III HDD

ASUS GeForce GTX 750Ti 2GB OC Edition

500W PSU, not sure of the brand, will open up the case to have a look soon

 

The PC as it is is quite fast, although the GPU is getting a bit old for the new games. 2 gigs isn't really a standard anymore and the clock speed is too low.

 

I was considering buying either a GTX 1060, AMD RX 470 or the GTX 970. Has anyone in HG had any experience with either of these 3 GPUs? If so, how have they aided you in gaming and such? Where did you buy it (pre-owned, used or brand new from a retailer)?

My budget isn't really that much of an importance here.

 

Also, I was thinking of buying over eBay, since the prices there are a lot lower when buying pre-owned or used cards. Has anyone bought any GPUs like this and if so, how were your experiences?

 

Anyways, thanks for your time to answer and help me a little bit.

I was thinking of the RX 480, but I wasn't sure since the power consumption is quite high. The 470 is a bit better in that aspect. The 1060 is great, also smaller and more power efficient and less power hungry... However it is more expensive too... Thanks for the tip though :)
