[SOLVED] GPU Upgrade

[PandaChef]

Hi there

My power went a few weeks ago while I was playing Warzone and since then whenever I play my game lags so much. It used to lag infrequently but now it is all the time. Consequently it seems like it is a good time to upgrade my GPU which is 5 years old.

Here is my build:

WD 1TB Blue Desktop Drive 3.5" SATA-III 7200RPM 64MB
Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DIMM 288-Pin Memory - BLS8G4D240FSE (Red)
Corsair CX 600W
Intel Core Skylake Processor i5-6500/3.2 GHz Processor CPU
MSI R9 280X GAMING 3GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
ViewSonic VX2363SMHL 23-Inch FHD SuperClear IPS LED Monitor (Black) - (2 ms, HDMI/VGA, MHL)

I have a 1080p monitor. Budget is not really a problem, but preferably not over £500. What would be a good GPU for me?

Thanks

If your Going to always play warzone then the best Budget GPU would be a 1660 Super or a Ti. It depends on what games you will play but here is FPS Averages for the 1660 Super @ 1080p:
GTA V: 95 FPS Very High Settings
Minecraft: 567 Custom Settings
Warzone: 87 Max Settings
Overwatch: 106 Ultra Preset
Fortnite: 81 Max Settings
Rainbow Six: 157 Max Settings
Cost of 1660 super: around 165.57 Pounds

Thank you much for that.

I would like it to hold up for the next few years and am going to play games like cyberpunk.

Is there a big difference between 1080p and 4k?

It would last a good 4 years and Cyberpunk will get released in November this year I think. I would not recommend playing at 4k unless you want to turn down the settings. I would just leave it on 1080p but Cyberpunk is going to be pretty demanding so turn down to medium or low settings @1080p.

That will work just fine then but it is a little overpriced for a super. But its your choice super versions of the 1660 are usually around 250.
