[Bam_3]

Hi all,

I did a pc build some years ago, back on 2013,
Fractal Design Define R4
Asus Z87 Pro
Intel Core i7-4770
Seasonic Platinum SS-660XP2
32GB Ram
SSD Samsung 840 Pro 512GB

At the time i did not need a graphic card but lately been interested in playing some games,got a new monitor 4K.Budget is around 250€ max. What would you guys suggest?
Thanks for your time.

It definitely depends on WHAT games you're looking at, but, within your budget, you're NOT going to be able to play games at full 4K resolution.

That said, stepping down to a lower 16:9 aspect ratio resolution, such as 2560x1440, or 1920x1080, should be just fine. I'd probably suggest the latter, since it's exactly half the horizontal resolution by half the vertical resolution of the 4K screen.

At 1920x1080, it would take a relatively modest card to handle it. Typically something in the GTX 1660/1660 Super/RTX 2060/RX 5600 XT range.

Those are listed in order of performance. In the US, the RX 5600 XT is less expensive than the 2060, and sometimes goes as low as approaching the 1660 Super in price. However, I've noticed in the last few weeks that the prices have been running up pretty crazily.

Same here,looks like black freaking Friday got them power to raise prices..

Yeah, I suspect with the new generation stuff coming out, there's a rush on previous gen cards, and that's sending the prices up, especially with 3rd party sellers.

It sucks.
