21:9 Graphic Card

[JBJOP]

I just got the LG 34um68-p Ultrawide Monitor, and I noticed that the Freesync is only availible with the AMD GPU's. So I am considering getting a Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 4GB.

But my question is, would it do the job for me?
And If not, what would be a good alternative for around 250€?

My system:
I7 4770
16 GB Ram
LG 34um68-p

Should i choose that one or maybe this one and considering not to use the freesync?

1060 6gb > rx 480 > 1060 3gb



ahhh, looking at prices on gpu's in that website the best would be the 4gb nitro

Thanks! So that GPU could support the ultrawide monitor with high quality gaming?

I'm with maxalge - at 2560x1080 I would absolutely take a 4gb 480 over a 3gb 1060.

 

[helpstar]

Less than 6GB nowadays would be not that good

 

[madmatt30]

^ not a choice with a €250 budget.

 

[JBJOP]

Why is that?
Im new to choosing a GPU so please don't blame me haha

Would this one be the best choice than?
https://www.4launch.nl/product/372783/Sapphire-Videokaart-Radeon-RX-480-Nitro--8GB/tweakers

Or do you know any other that would be better with my system?

 

[helpstar]

Less than 6GB would be limiting the power. E.g. Rainbows Six siege can not be played in higher detailed textures, with just 4GB of vram. Especially with higher resolutions than standard 1920x1080.

This card would be great

if you increase to that budget then this becomes the best choice:

https://www.4launch.nl/product/375534/375534-MSI-GeForce-GTX-1060-6GT-OC-6GB



1060 6gb > 480 > 1060 3gb

Thanks, but should I give up the AMD freesync ability that my monitor has for the MSI-GeForce-GTX-1060-6GT-OC-6GB?

look up the games you want to play and see the fps difference, see if freesync would actually help

Seeing the 480 8gb winging it by a good 10fps on doom & gta V at 2560x1080

& thats a reference model 480 vs a g1 gaming 1060 at that.

Oh thanks, Interesting video. I think that after watching this im going for the:
https://www.4launch.nl/product/372783/372783-Sapphire-Radeon-RX-480-Nitro+-8GB
So I get the fps + the freesync ability
Hope its a good choice

75htz freesync monitor Id go for the 480 plain & simple myself.
Nvidia has adaptive vsync built in which does a decent job anyway , amd has a native adaptive vsync built into the drivers but its not as good as nvidia's.

choice is yours really , the fact is that on 95% of current titles both those cards will push more than 75fps anyway paired with your cpu.

On highish settings h1z1 & other arma engine based games will NOT push more than 60fps with either card , in that respect the 480 is going to look smoother on a freesync screen imo.

Its a pity the g1 rx 480 isnt in stock as it looks a good buy.

Could get this one:
https://www.cdromland.nl/product/941/976202/Gigabyte-Radeon-GV-RX480G1-GAMING-8GD

I can't find the difference between G1, Gaming X and the Nitro+, which one is the best?

 

[madmatt30]

In al lhonesty nothing between them performance wise,just look for the best priced one.
The nitro has nice programmable led lighting ,the gaming x has the quietest/coolest running fans,the g1 has a slightly higher clockspeed.

Thank you for your information man!
I've ordered the Radeon RX 480 8GB G1 for only 290€

 

[madmatt30]

Good buy mate IMO.
Happy gaming.
