Upgrading from a Rx480

[ChiefJedi]

I want to upgrade from my Amd Radeon Rx 480 and I don't know what to upgrade to. I have a i7 7700 cpu and about £450 budget. Thanks

I have a LG 27" 27UD58 4K IPS Gaming Monitor on 60hz but supports FreeSync. However I mainly want to upgrade for encoding with NVENC as AMD encoder is bad for obs recording. My laptops GPU does a better Job at recording than my Rx480 and that's a 960m haha. Anyways I will be looking to game in 4k too if it's possible on that kind of budget. But at the moment i've seen it's one of the worse times to buy a GPU right now

For 450 pounds if the market wasn't messed up you could've almostly gotten a 1080 but now you can be happy to actually get a 1070 if lucky.

yeah dam, the 1080 would have been nice. It's crazy the prices right now

4K = 1080Ti for good quality.
So i suggest you wait until you have a budget for one.
