A graphic card to play at 1080p

[moeali]

hi everyone
i need a recommendation for a graphic card that can play games on 1080p for this year and the next year (high settings would be fine)
i intend to change this card at the end of 2016 so i don't need anything fancy right now (the cheaper the better as long as it'll play high settings on 1080p till the end of 2016)
maximum budget is a 200$ but as i said the cheaper the better since i'm saving for a new card next year

R9 380

These would be very strong choices in the $200 range. The R9 380 is the stronger card between the two, though I personally favor Nvidia GPU's.

R9 380, GTX 960, r9 280x there are alot of good cards for 1080p gaming

The 380 is better than the 960 for the same price.

Asus builds the best cards. . . . . . 380 or 960 with 4GBs memory.

Best card that is within your budget is the R9 285. Available as cheap as $160, and almost identical performance to the R9 380 and GTX 960.

the r9 285 is one of the shittiest cards per dollar and just sucks period, recommending the 285 is garbage, I just bought a 960 strix 4gb and I love it, planning to sli them , if I can actually find out on here if a 600w or 650 w psu is enough =] oh and I used to be a die hard xfx amd fan, but things have changed

Nonsense, my R9 285 had no problems pushing high settings on 2560x1440. Considering OP is talking about only 1080p, that's easy.

I love how you say the 285 is a garbage recommendation and tell him to get the 960 when the r9 285:
1) Performs the same or better than a GTX 960 (depending on 1080p or 1440p)
2) Is a lot cheaper than the GTX 960

Logical.

thank you all for your answers, i'm wondering if there are any cheaper cards that'll also perform good on 1080p but are around 150$ OR LESS, for i only need it for less than a year before i receive a big budget for a High-End GPU (would gtx 750 ti for example perform well as it
Again Thank you all

Gtx 750ti will do a decent job for you but you wont be maxing out any games and may have to turn some setting down but it will be decent enough for you. imo

So it'll be sufficient for playing shadow of mordr or fallout 4 on high settings?

Here's the 750ti playing Shadows of Mordor on High: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1dL_xmo-Pc

Here's the 750ti playing Fallout 4 on High: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOckcWuKnY0

Looks like it will be fine. 😉

I said i was thinking about sli and i never said my card was better. I simply said the 285 is the wrong choice only 2gb vram. Its a waste. And probally 1440 worked great for this card . 3 years ago

Scoobi3, the card was released a year ago. And I was referring to it's performance earlier this year. Out of the box with 0 overclock.

OP: If you're looking under $150, then go with this card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131670
It will outperform the GTX 750 TI.

The only place GeForce cards are better price/performance choices right now are at the $650 range.

i can get this 750 ti oc for under 150 cad so it should at the most only cost you 110-120 new egg is one of "the" most expensive places on earth to buy parts, wait till this friday and get it cheaper from somewere else
