need a new GPU recommendation

[Kaitlin Kaschak]

ok so im looking to replace my current GPU the NVIDIA GTX 750 TI with something better. id prefer to stay with nvidia since my current card is already an nvidia card which makes drivers upgrades easier plus i just like nvidia cards better, but i am open to an AMD GPU if the price to performance is right. also id prefer a used card if possible to save on price below is some basic info you guys will need to help me decide

budget:250$ usa might stretch it to 300 but 250 is kinda my max because im on fixed income so i only get paid once a month

specs
DESKTOP PC HP Z400
CPU XEON W3565 STOCK SPEEDS
CURRENT GPU 750 TI
RAM 16 GIG DDR3 ECC
POWER SUPPLY 475 WATT PSU 80% BRONZE HP OEM

will consider upgrading my psu if it is needed also keep in mind i need a high end GPU that will not cause my current cpu to be a bottleneck because i cant upgrade my CPU anytime soon

the games i want to buy and play that require a better card

the witcher 3
doom 2016
homefront revolution

i game at 1920x1080 on my led tv and would prefer a constant yet stable 60FPS on all three games on high settings i dont need ultra settings but at least high

edit if u recommend me a card please if possible tell me how many amps on the 12 volt rails i will need to power the card thanks

im currently using a G1 gaming 1070 and its a solid card, my last card was an EVGA GTX 960 2Gb, it was also a great card that had no trouble maxing out games. I dont know much about your CPU so you might want to make sure you wont run into any severe bottle necking issues, however i doubt that you will, just a precaution.

for a budget of $250 ide pick up an RX 470- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137024&cm_re=rx_470-_-14-137-024-_-Product

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125901 $275 Shipped for a dual fan cooler.

Watch for the $199 3GB versions, they didn't cut just the ram amount. The GPU is missing a block. Nvidia should have called the 3GB models a 1060SE

Why when you can get a GTX 1060 for the same price?

the 1060 wont work my cpu will be a bottleneck anything over a 780ti will cause my old 960 i7 to be a bottleneck

 

[Kaitlin Kaschak]

cant use anything over a 780 ti due to the fact that my cpu will cause a bottleneck

 

[Patton2121]

you're not getting anything better than a 1060 for 250 dollars.

i can get a 780ti which may not be a 1060 but its still a beast of a card

http://hwbench.com/vgas/geforce-gtx-1060-vs-geforce-gtx-780-ti

~30% faster than the 780 for half the power draw, 43 FPS 780 vs 59 FPS 1060 in Witcher 3. Do more with less I don't think the 1060 will be bottlenecked by your CPU.

Seems like other people like the combo.

no offense but i need a high end card a card that can give me non stop 60fps at 1080p medium to high settings i.e. i want 60fps all the time

I would look at upgrading your CPU before considering a GPU upgrade. A 780TI should be able to handle your demands fine on 1080P. But it needs a good CPU in order to get the most out of it.

 

[kraelic]

If 60FPS at 1080 is your goal, you can see in the top link I provided at 1080p the 1060 does 59 in witcher and 108 in doom, it didn't show your 3rd game. Vs your outdated 'high end' 780 ti doing 43 in witcher and 75 in doom.

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_1060_review,23.html

These two show the same frame rates and expand with the settings used, though they are using a x99 and haswell E overclocked. So if your cpu does bottleneck significantly, the 780ti will still be worse than the 1060. I cannot find info on how bad the bottleneck is.

what power supply would i need and how many amps on the 12 volt rails

 

[kraelic]

1060 is a single 6 pin card, if you have a 6 pin on the stock PSU you should be good. 475 watt delta should be able to as long as the system isn't packed to the gills. But age of components or future expansion may warrant an upgrade.

all i have is the 16 gigs of ram a 250 gig SSD a 2TB HDD and a closed loop liquid cpu cooler as well as the 750 ti nothing else

also heres a link to the specs for my stock PSU

The 780TI isn't really that outdated though. If you're trying to run a 4K monitor it is, but for 1080P it shouldn't be.

i run my pc on a 25 inch led tv with a screen res of 1920x1080P and from what i read playing the witcher 3 at anything under 60fps is unplayable and slugish

 

[logainofhades]

The 780ti is just a bit faster, than a GTX 970, which nobody would argue is bad for 1080p gaming.

well what would you recommend i dont need ultra high setting in games just medium to high and 1080p 60fps constant

 

[logainofhades]

The GTX 1060 isn't a horrible card, even with the bit of a bottleneck. It is roughly even with a GTX 980, so not hugely superior to a 780ti/970. A used 970 is always an option. With all the people replacing them with 1070, there should be a fair amount of them available.

would a 970 or 1060 fit well with my stock PSU or would i need a psu upgrade?

 

[logainofhades]

Given your PSU, the 1060 would probably be the better choice.
