The only "new" 2 games I plan on playing are MGSV and Overwatch, would a 8gb 480 be enough with the i5-6500?
rom the bench marks Ive seen, It is comparable to the 970 SSC. Everything was within a handful of frames between the two. I personally dont prefer the reference blowers and Im going to wait until non reference cards come out
It'll be enough.
>$199 for 8GB variant
holy fuck
This. Wait till nonreference cards come out. I run these games fine on a 970 with 120+fps at medium to high settings. The 480 should be comparable if not better
You probably won't need the 8GB version considering that this card isn't made to run at the type of resolutions where 8GBs is really needed, unless you want to be safe or plan holding on upgrading for 4+ years.
You're more than good, wait for nonreference if you have the patience though

Replace "480" with "970" and go google about the 970.
Basically yes
Yes, as a matter of fact that card would be overkill.
way more than enough.
i can play both of those with a g3258 dual core and 270x.

Yea you can pull this off with a 4GB but 8 would be nice if you expect to keep this card for 3 years or so.

Phantom pain will do 1080 60 on a toaster.
>MGSV
Easy 60 fps with a 750ti, 480 will do it easily with all maxed
>Overwatch
Yes.
It will max out those games easily.
Actually 8gb memory is rather overkill.
