Help with choice of video card

[DimitarBG]

Hello.I decided to get a new video card but do not know which.I will play new games 1366x768 ultra and will hold around 3-4 years thought between rx 480 8gb or gtx 1060 6gb but I do not know can my PSU handle this +12v1 there 15A and at +12v2 has 16A.So can you help me in choosing a card for 1366x768 ultra new games and normal or ultra future.

At that resolution you'd be just fine with a 750 Ti, R7 360, or maybe an RX 460 if you want the newest technology for a little more money.

Well GTX 750 ti can not run everything on ultra even at that resolution i have GTX 650 ti boost which is slightly faster and i can not max out every game on 1280x1024. You definitely need something stronger if you want ultra but problem is your PSU for a stronger card you will need better PSU

1280x1024 is 25% more pixels than 1366x768.

1280x1024 is 25% more pixels than 1366x768.

Well i can not even if i reduce it to 1280x720 because problem is video memory new games for ultra require at least 4gb of video ram for example you can not max out Rise of the tomb raider on 2gb of video memory no matter how small resolution you have. He might be able if he goes with 4gb version but im sure that in some games he will have only like 25-30fps if he max out settings those cards are not able to handle new games very well anymore

My advice go with GTX 1060 if you have the money and if you want to be future proof but keep in mind that you will need some extra money for new PSU or you can go with RX480 also but same story for PSU you must buy a new one. If you don't want to change PSU go for GTX 750ti but buy 4gb version and don't expect it to run everything smooth on ultra,you will run games on high but question is for how long. And your performance will depend a lot from cpu especially on small resolution like yours because smaller resolution puts a bigger load on cpu

Well it's your choice,that is bad psu but rx 470 will probably work but question is for how long and you must understand that psu can burn your pc so you decide do you want to risk it or not

Well it depends from where you live and how much you want to pay for it but for example Seasonic s12 ii 620w is pretty good or xfx ts 550w. I have system that uses a bit more power than yours and i'm running it on EVGA 500w so you might want to buy that one they are not expensive and for me it works nice,cool and quiet

Will that work for me.

I don't think so,you need a better psu

Thanks for your answer but can you tell me how much risk in there and I am using Asus z97k mobo with Asus 5x protection will it help to reduce risk?

 

[DimitarBG]

Ty for all i decide to pick rx 460 4gb i hope i can play games with this for 2-3 years then i will finish school and start job and finally will build good pc ty for the final qustion is can my psu handle rx 460

nope i don't think that will help,risk is big because if psu dies it can kill your cpu,motherboard,ram,hard drive and your shiny new gpu

Rx 460 will give you decent performance on your resolution and it should work on your psu
