Which GPU is best?

[Nick_120]

GTX 970 4GB vs Sapphire RX 480 nitro 4GB vs Palit GTX 1060 3GB to go along side i5 4690k? Want whichever will 1) last longest and 2) get best performance on games like Star wars battlefront and battlefield 1 etc

1060

Bare in mind though that's a 6gb card and I am looking for £200 budget for the card, so 6gb version is atleast £250 seen a 970 for £180 and 1060 *3gb* model for £188 and RX 480 nitro for £199

with that pricing i would grab the rx 480

Yeah I think I will, on overclockersuk there's a 4690k for £218 and an xfx 480 rs edition for £199. Right now I have a Pentium g3258 and a GTX 750 ti, which part should I buy first? I'll buy one then 4 weeks later buy the other one, or just buy one and not put it in my PC til I have both parts

If your gaming at 1080p I'd take the 480 over the 3gb 1060. I have a 780 3gb and at 1080p have found 3 games that use all 3gb and cause stuttering. It's easy to fix by dropping settings but 3gb is clearly a limiting factor at 1080p in some modern games and this will most likely only get worse.

Just in the stages of planning my next upgrade but its delayed while I get a new car.

Yeah, that's what other people said, I'm hoping this GPU will last me 2 years or so at least, I don't always play on the highest settings I just prefer smoothness overall
