Greetings to all gamers.
Before putting this question to you guys, i have gone through many posts, articles, reviews etc. but were not able to reach any conclusion.
I recently purchased a 900p (MAX Resolution) monitor and will be continuing to game on that.
I am not very frequent to upgrade my rig. My current graphics card which just got dead 2 days back was 8600GT 256MB 😀 and AMD 550 Dual core which i guess i have purchased in back in 2007 or 2008. I guess this will give you a hint that i am not replacing hardware soon.
So thing is my card is dead now and needed to replace with another, but now found that my current dual core stands no where for new games.
OK, cut to the point i am upgrading my rig to below specs:
At 900p, will 3GB gtx 1060 will be good or RX 470 ?. I am planning to play CS:GO, Mortal Kombat X, Batman Arkham Knight, and may be Gear of War 4 when it will be out. I know for CS:GO, both those two cards will be overkill but i would like to have other games with decent settings as well. But honestly i am more of Counter Strike 1.6 player but CS:GO is now keeps yelling me to upgrade 😛
On other thoughts, i am also considering RX 460 2GB which is exactly half the price of 1060 or 470 available here in India (But i doubt that it will be no useful for 900p for modern games). Or i should wait for GTX 1050.
I will not be going to 6GB for 1060 or 8GB for 470 as those are totally costly affair in India. (Pricing of graphics cards here are crazy). So which one would be a good choice for 900p gaming. Will 3GB GTX be obsolete for coming years when DX12 will took over all the games or still be good at mid settings at 900p. Will 1 GB extra at 470 make any difference in future with DX12. I am tending towards to nvidia and this one have better performance at this time.
1 more thing, i live in desert where average room temperature is 35 Celsius. This is another major concern for me and also for tending towards nvidia as it has lower temperature.
Thanks to all of you guys for helping me out here.
Request, please not to start AMD vs Nvidia War, they both have their own goodies.
