Upgrading from R7 240

[Roopjeet Singh]

I am currently having R7 240 1gb gddr5 card .... As i am turning into a gamer .. and playing better games ... i am strugling to run games on 1920x1080 on medium settings with good FPS

Sooo I decided to upgrade my Gpu to R7 260x OC 1gb gddr5 and it has 3 years warranty too thats pretty nice


Soo is It a good card ? Is 1gb enough .. I am getting it for 9000rs thats around 133 USA $

That's an older card, also it will require a 6 pin power connector. And NO 1GB really isn't enough. My suggestion is to wait for the new generation cards, the RX 460 should be cheaper and give far better performance.

you got a limited budget? i guess the 260x is your best bet at that price point.. but it surely won't run games at ultra 1080p 60 fps but around 30

RX 460 is outa my budget ..

also I am having http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/index.php?pid=794&cpu=Core%20i3-2125%203.3GHz This Cpu .. Is it good for the GPU
i cant afford to upgrade my Cpu now .. I bought this custom PC just recently

And i am having 4gigs of ram ... Will another 4gig ddr3 ram be enough ?

Wait a month or two, and then buy an AMD RX 480 ($199@4GB, $239@8GB) or a RX 470 ($149@4GB, $179@8GB).

Release date is June 29th, but as normal with any new video card that offers a great deal of power for a low price, there will be lota more demand than there will be stock for while.

Be patient. Wait for one of the RX cards. And if at all possible, get the RX 480. You will not regret the wait once you get it into your system.

Soo i have decided To wait for the rx470 thats in my budget ... But will it be released in India at that price ??

Now you let the elephant out of the closet...

Last I heard, you guys use something called a rupee instead of a dollar. I guess all can say is to wait and see what happens. And beware of early on prices. The tend to go up right at the beginning, and then come back down as supply begins to catch up with demand.

Best thing you can do is compare existing cards in India vs what they cost over in the US. Maybe establish a price index from that to give you a feel for what an RX 470 might cost you.
