Looking for a card that works well with the Ryzen 7 1700

[Good Ole Spens]

Hello all,

Currently, I've got an MSI Gaming X RX 480 working with my Ryzen 7 1700, but I'm not satisfied with the performance I'm getting in more than a few titles. I'm planning on overclocking my Ryzen in the near future(I bring this up because I feel like the stock speed of 3.0GHz is partially to blame for the lack of performance), but I'm looking for an upgrade over the RX 480 either way. The RX 580 came out recently, but I'm not sold on it at all. I prefer AMD products overall, but I think as far as AMD gpu's go, I'm near the end of the line in terms of performance.

I'm not quite willing to spend 450+ for a 1070/1080, so if there a slightly cheaper option, I'd love to know what it is 🙂

I'm not sure what you are asking. you don't want to reach upgrade to a 580, but you don't want to go to a 1070. You pretty much have the highest card if you throw out the previous factors. What performance are you expecting? What are you getting What games and settings are you playing? What monitor are you playing on?

Simply put, I'm wanting to know if there's a decent upgrade from the RX 480(and 580), but for not quite the price of a 1070/1080. Been playing titles such as Dishonored 2(runs like poop even on medium settings, but likely poorly optimized anyway) and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The only titles I've been able to run the way I want them to run so far are Rainbow Six: Siege and Witcher 3, both on max settings. Battlefield 4 and Assassins Creed IV both are spotty on maximum settings as well. On second though, the phantom card I am hopelessly searching for likely does not exist, lol.

You can probably get a nice aftermarket card with a higher boost clock, but you are not going to find the better "reference" card that allows you to get amazing graphics without upping to the 580 or 1070. I suppose the R9 FURY X, but I honestly don't think it's worth it. http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-RX-480-vs-Radeon-R9-FURY-X

That's just my three cents.

580 is basically an overclocked 480, so no point there.

Upgrades available:
GTX 1070
GTX 1080
GTX 1080 Ti

GTX 1070 with Ryzen overclock to 3.9/4ghz

You guys do realize that he said he didn't want to upgrade to the GTX 1070. So again, this is a moot point.

Doesnt really matter. Until Vega based GPUs are released there arent really any alternatives. Cant really recommend any of the Fury line.
