Recently my R9 280X died leaving me to run off an old 1GB card ..... as much as I'd love to go buy some flash new card, funds are tight so that 2080RTX is on hold
Current system specs are :
Board Intel DH77KC
Chipset Ivy Bridge
Graphic Interface PCI-e x16
RAM 16GB DDR3 Dual Channel (2x 8) G.Skill
CPU Intel Core i5 3570K 1155LGA - not overclocked
PSU Corsair VS550 (2x 8 pin PCI-e connectors)
I've been offered good (?) deals (all around same price) on the following cards :
Max res would be 1920x1080
Games : CSGO, Overwatch, Unturned, Sims 3, Subnautica, Pulsar and a variety of other ones but nothing overly "flash" or new
So...option 1 or 2 or 3 ?
RX would be future proofed spec wise for a bit but because of mining use, lifespan could be diminished/questionable
GTX good solid card but getting on in age
1060 Fairly new tech etc but 3GB could hamper future use if I upgrade CPU etc.
Thanks!
