the used ones

1060 is best value for 'avg joe gamer', and used GPU is a meme. Previous generation cards are overvalued on the used market and no warranty.

Depends on your budget. 1070bwould be pushing it but I'd say it's probably the best sweetspot for it to last a couple of years.

GTX 1060

>>56362277
AMD 480 8gb hands down

>>56362323
This. HD 7850 or 7950, well at least for used parts.

>>56362277
GeForce4 Ti AGP 8x

1060 if you upgrade every 2 or 3 years, 480 if you are going to hang onto it for longer.

Maybe you should ask the appropriate board for this kind of questions.

Fury Nitro, anything else a shit.
>better than the 480/1060 shits
>same price roughly

Geforce FX 5200

Don't they all perform at around the same level?

My fury can 1440p at about the same framerates as the new cards on the block do at 1080p

I'm trying to find a mother board with 8 slots. I'm having a hard time finding one.

In my observation the best value for money if you are not chasing the highest graphical fidelity at all times comes from the upper mid-range cards.

Generally if you buy the current-generation midrange card such as the RX 470/RX 480 or GTX 1060/1070 you will max out current games fine. When the next generation hits, you will still push good FPS if you selectively reduce certain graphically intensive settings like anti-aliasing, most occlusions, more complex shadows.

What's more, buy AMD cards for longevity. The current architecture is proving to be robust for newer titles and with only little driver improvements the cards improve their performance over time (see how 7970 used to compete with GTX 6xx cards but is still competitive even today). Nvidia on the other hand heavily rely on driver optimisations for specific titles, so cards' performance drops as soon as a new generation hits and Nvidia stops optimising their old cards.

buy amd if you need yours for a long time
but their software is garbage. id reccomend you get one that can use vr since you are probably an anime child.

RX 470 if tight budget, GTX 1060 otherwise.

Wtf I hate 480 and 1060 now

>>56367258
virtual reality?

I've never tried it before.

i can only think of one porn game I'd like to play on vr and it's not out yet. (monster girl island)

Stop advertising your shitty site here, retard. Only idiot would use it.

I own a 970

Both cards would be showing their age in 4 years time.

Well OP here, I'm running a GT 220 that my dad got for me when I couldn't run a 3D lego racers.

So being tip top 1440 or 1080 isnt a huge deal.

I don't even know if my monitor is 1080...

I might get a new monitor and setup though.
