So my old one a r9 290 has a problem it randomly crashes the computer when not under load ( never happens while playing video games)
the question is what to buy for 250-300€ is the xfx 480 8gb worth it or is it better to buy a gtx 970. Thanks

For you budget, get the new AMD RX480. $199 for 4gb and $239 for 8gb.
If you want more power, I suspect the GTX1060 (when it is released) mightbe a bit better similar price (which is based purely on nothing). If you aren't bothered at all by tech and just want to play games, then get a 970.Last edited by willtron; 2016-06-30 at 10:34 AM.
1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
2) Unrack
3) Crank out 15 reps
4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

lots of people selling their old cards atm so you can probably get a used 970 at amazing price. you might want to check that out first.

There was a lot of concern that the 480 is drawing more power from the PCIE slot than the specifications allow (>150 watt). This risks poor performance or even damaging the motherboard. Originally Posted by willtron

Yeah just read about that. Damn, that's bad. Reports of ~200W peak in Witcher 3 with no OC. AMD done goofed. Originally Posted by mrgummage
