Hi all
I'm looking to replace my aging Gigabyte 7970 OC Windforce edition (GV-R797OC-3GD) with something that runs cooler, quieter, maybe with a smaller power consumption and that gives a substantial performance increase to warrant the actual change.
I'm a casual gamer and don't have a freesync monitor. I have the an IPS Acer ET241Y.
I'm interested more in longevity and value for money.
My budget is around the £200 mark (+/- £20) and I'm looking to get it from UK site.
Any recommendations would be appreciated! I don't have any 'allegiance' to Nvidia/AMD. My only loyalty is towards value for money!
Thank you in advance!
ps. the rest of my rig is:
[AMD FX-8320]
[2x4GBs DDR3 Kingston HyperX Blue 1866]
[Corsair HX750W]
ps. I recently replaced my motherboard so i have an entry level Asrock one so no overclocking or anything like that in mind. I might be upgrading to a Ryzen in April or around that time.
