Looking to upgrade my ancient Radeon HD 7700 video card to something a little more up to date for Legion. Ultra setting aren't looking to hot, and I can only assume it's the video card that needs an upgrade.
Curious on:
- what is current these days with Videocards in terms of specs, and wondering what is preferred or needed in terms of Memory Size (2/4/6/8GB?) Memory Interface (128 or 256-Bit or ?) and core clock/boost clock speeds.
- sure the card is compatible as well with my build and Windows 10, and make sure I don't cause any possible bottlenecking
- any features that are card specific? I read that some cards are better for streaming or have certain perks
The cards I am really considering are the GeForce GTX 1060 ($250), Radeon RX 470($200), Radeon RX 480 4GB or 8GB matter?($245), Radeon R9 380X ($220), but also curious how these GeForce GTX 960($170), GeForce GTX 970 ($250) differ from the others, because the GeForce GTX 960/70 test well against GeForce GTX 1060 on benchmark charts.
Any other cards I should be considering in the $170-250 USD range?
Current Setup:
OS - Windows 10 Pro
CPU - AMD FX-8350
Mboard - ASUS M5A97
RAM - Ripjaw 16GB DDR3
Videocard - AMD Radeon HD 7700
Storage - Corsair 480GB SSD, 1TB HDD
PSU - Corsair CX600M
Cooler - Corsair H60
Thanks a lot!
