Which GPU currently has the best price:performance ratio at this time, jokes about the five finger discount aside?
A GTX 285 cost just over £300 years back, I paid a similar price for a 770 in 2013, but currently the 1070 is £400 with a stock blower.

I'm willing to try a Radeon. This really is just about price:performance ratio. A reasonably-priced upgrade is still a reasonably-priced upgrade.
It seems to be a combination of inflation, greed, or even that the lower end of the market is advancing faster than before, making the higher end of things relatively more high end than before. Please pardon my clumsy phrasing.
Context: this replacement is on account of hardware failure caused by medication-induced spaghetti in 2013. (Mostly) mixed my head since, now I want to fix my computer.
Help a guy out? Free discussion on the topic aside from directy recs/advice is entirely welcome, just please keep it civil.

RX 480 4gb has the current best price to performance ratio. However it is a very new card and is not in stock at the moment, I would wait a ,month or two for general availability.

Any iGPU.

No, the gtx 1060 now

There's kinda nothing to get from AMD right now tbqh. They've been too busy rereleasing old cards. As for me, 970 is looking really good price and performance wise if you're using 1080p.

970 is so old why would you get that when the 1060 is better and pretty much in the same price range?

Ah, sorry, I missed the release of 1060 due to vacation and I couldn't say much about it. Though, buying used 970 would still be best bang for buck solution imo.

price performance ratio is a shit measure, some 5 years old GPU you pretty much get for free will always win over modern GPUs.

Not an upgrade unless my highest priority is SFF, which I never gave any indication of in the OP.

If you arbitrarily remove a variable from an equation it's only your own fault if it's no longer valid/relevant. Being an upgrade was stated as a factor.

The 980ti is very close there to the 1070 and cheaper. 384bit 6gb vs 256 8gb.
>>55722520
The 1060 seems fairly close in both price and performance to the 480 but the 480 has better bus width and more memory.
So right now the 1060 is probably the best option, later probably the 480 for entry. 980ti now and 1070 later for mid.
This is for UK prices. For what it's worth I'm probably never going to bother with SLI.
