Good graphics card for i5-4460?

[Kinglouie99]

Can someone suggest a card for this CPU? I've been looking at the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590. Is this good for this or could I definitely can something better for around the same price? Thanks.

GTX960, R9 270X, GTX670, R9 280/X, GTX970, R9 290 - all would be fine. What price?

GTX590 is old and drawers a lot of power.

What exact psu do you have? Your CPU would support any GPU, it might hold back on the top end but only in CPU intensive games

Corsair CX600

Then GTX960, R9 270X, GTX670, GTX970 would be fine. You'd need 700W for the 590.

The GTX590 was £100 or around about that. I wouldn't mind spending more, I just want the best option.

590 is old, 1.5gb vram, not recommended. I would say something like R9 280 3GB at 200$ would be best choice. Or you can just be green and get gtx960 2GB for 200$ as well.

Which is the better option? The NVIDIA GeForce Kepler GTX 670 2GB or the ATI Radeon R9 280 3GB?

You're not going to find anything new good for 100 quid and that a cx600 can handle. Maybe a GTX670 from eBay or Gumtree.

 

[Undying89]

i7Baby is right, CX600 isnt very good and it wont handle 280 but it can handle 960.

 

[Kinglouie99]

So is 670 or 960 the best option? I don't mind spending a little more.

 

[i7Baby]

Yep - either of those.

They will perform around the same. 960 is newer, using less power so...

 

[Kinglouie99]

Thanks for your help.

Depending on budget you could even go to a 970 but the 960 is still a good card
