What graphics card should i get? For $220

[jake10095]

So i was planing on going to best buy today... I only have $280 but planing on buying BattleField 1. So thats an instant $60 less, brings me to $220. I was planing on getting the RX 460 4GB for $130 or should i get the RX 470 for $220?

Definitely get the RX 470 if you can afford it.

For Battlefield 1 you're going to need all the GPU muscle you can get.

Yes, an RX 470 or better. Don't buy it at Best Buy though. Buy it here.

Why should i not buy it from Best Buy?

Actually i see why.... I can get some one Newegg for 200 or Amazon for 200. Any way what brand should i get it from? MSI or any other recomendations?

This has almost double the clockspeed of an RX 470... http://pcpartpicker.com/product/zZQRsY/msi-geforce-gtx-1060-3gb-3gb-armor-ocv1-video-card-geforce-gtx-1060-armor-3g-ocv1 and 1gb less RAM which does limit it. But not much more than 4gb does with the 470. Ideally a 6gb 1060 would be the best choice as the price threshold is just above $220 for BF1 type quality cards.

GTX 1060 > RX 470, from my own personal testing.

It can overclock higher also. But with a good processor you won't need to.

How many Gb of vram did both have? Did the 1060 have 3 or 6? And the 470 was it a 4 or 8?

Hey
Was comparing EVGA's GTX 1060 3GB vs. MSI's 470 4GB
GTX 1060 performed better from my testing

Ok thanks! I'll most likely be getting the 1060 now. I'm not sure if I'm gonna wait until cyber Monday or not.
