hello comunity i would want to know which is the best AMD GPU compatible with my rig:
core i3 4150 3.50ghz
8gb ram ddr3 1600mhz(soon 16gb)
asus h 81(pci 2.0)
screen resolution of 1366x768
psu 600w corsair
 
Solution


Hi again - There is currently one R9 380 @ $151 (Newegg promo) otherwise you drop down to the 270 in your price range...


Hi Oscar - What's your budget for the GPU?
At 1366x768 a Fury X is overkill and over $600.

At that res a 380x @ < $230 would suffice, and if you have a higher budget the 390 is in the
$275 - $310 range.

Not fool proof, but gives you a good idea, your FPS will be better than the 1080p numbers because of
your Resolution.

60 FPS might be a reach in your budget range.

is there a Gpu i could find in amazon on my budget that gives me a good gaming experience?(because i live in latin america)


 


What country - because of shipping and customs duties, a better deal might be had in your country,
I'll try to find. But, you'll be looking at a less powerful card than the 380.

I live in El salvador( the smallest coutry in center america)
and i am ok with any GPU (unless i cant run new games)
 
How much do you need 16gb of ram?
I ask for two reasons:
1. Ram is sold in kits for a reason.
A motherboard must manage all the ram using the same specs of voltage, cas and speed.
Ram from the same vendor and part number can be made up of differing manufacturing components over time.
Some motherboards can be very sensitive to this.
That is why ram vendors will NOT support ram that is not bought in one kit.
The money you spend on added ram, particularly if it goes past two sticks may be wasted.
2. It is unlikely that a game requires more than 8gb of ram. Those funds would be more effective on a stronger graphics card.
 


OK - I'll see what I can find. BTW, Geo is correct, don't add RAM to what you have. Occasionally the
same specd RAM from the same mfg will work, but very often it doesn't. So his idea of using that money
on a stronger GPU is good.
 


Exactly what case do you have?
A case that is 16" wide(ancho) sounds to me like a horizontal HTPC case which might have space issues with some graphics cards.
Is there a reason for specifying a AMD gpu as opposed to a NVIDIA gpu?
IN general, current AMD graphics cards are less power efficient and generate more heat.
That requires larger and stronger coolers that might be an issue in a small case.
