Hello everyone,
I am looking to upgrade my GPU this Christmas and have a few questions I would love answers to before making a final decision.
Background info:
CPU (AMD FX 6350), PSU (500W) and monitor (AOC 34PQU77 (21:9 ultrawide at 3440*1440p)) are here to stay for the forseable future.
GPU (MSI RX 370X) has a hard time keeping up with the screen and randomly gives up mid-movies (but not games for some reasons)
Main games I play:
Heros of the storm (80%), Overwatch, Xcom2 and other steam stuff.
Future upgrades:
NZXT Kraker X52-62 for the CPU (to reduce noise for now and overclocking after CPU upgrade)
My questions are:
1) Will an RX 480 be good enough for a screen this size to run my most common games on high - ultra settings?
2) With performance and noise in mind, which should I get (looking at XFX, or Asus for now)?
3) With Waterclocking in mind does it matter which RX480 I get, if I intend to slap a watercooling block on it in the near future (maybe birthday in July)?
Thank you all for your help and don't hesitate to tell me your thoughts on the rest of my setup if you feel there are any large inconsistencies.
