hi /g/, I've been thinking about selling my old 290 (should still get me 100+ € on ebay easily) and getting something with a little more power but I really don't want to spend more than 300€ on the new card.
I don't think I'll be upgrading the rest of my hardware soon and i'm mostly looking for 1080p 60 FPS with pretty graphics but I can make compromises.
>4096MB Sapphire Radeon R9 FURY Nitro
>8192MB Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC
>6144MB Palit GeForce GTX 1060 Super Jetstream
is pretty much what I could get for those 300. I'm gravitating towards the Fury since it should still have more power than the 480 even with its smaller (HBM) memory.
8192MB Sapphire Radeon RX 480 Nitro+ OC has loud fans, go with another rx480.
mfw they raised the price back while it was in my cart, then lowered it again
>1080p 60fps
>already has a 290
why the fuck would you upgrade?

That's a good point, I don't think I really need to but it just seemed like a good time. It's ahrd to get a significant improvement without paying a lot more than what I originally paid for my 290/ these magic 300 but I'd take 10% extra for ~150 (new card - selling old card) to be reasonably equipped for at least another year.
I wish there was a 490 or something to throw into the mix but I'm definitely not willing to spend 1070 money or buy a 480 just because it's newer.
Also games like Witcher 3 or the BF 1 beta did dip below 60 every now and then (even though auto-detect recommended ultra, lel).

Also Fallout 4, that shit is only going to get worse if I ever install mods.

How are you going to impress your friends, broseph?
Alright, I bit the bullet and ordered the Fury. This should see me through 2017 I hope, it's not like I could significantly improve my system now without spending way too much.
I could have bought a PS4 for this money but I already have way too many paperweights as it is.

yeah but with fallout 4 you could just do some heavy tweaking with the .ini because gamebyro engine and people get dips in certain places no matter what their set up is unless you do some wack $3000+ build.

maybe he's already planning ahead for the inevitable, even less optimized obsidian installment?

You're honestly fucking retarded. There's no card besides a 1070 that will be a significant performance upgrade for you. Not sure about europoo prices, but hopefully you can get a 1070 for 350€ at some point in the not too distant future
If you're looking for a sidegrade that doesn't put out as many watts, get a 480 or a 1060.
You're only at 1080p numbnuts
