Hello people ! I am new around this forum; with the new RX 470 launch I was wondering if upgrading from my R7 370 2Gb wil worth it ! What do you guys think ? :question:
The 4GB version is just fine (if you play in 1080p with Ultra/High/Med combination of settings) for You.
Yup, that's what I have in mind ! Full HD Gaming and to cranck up the settings as much as I can. My current GPU isn't good for Ultra or sometimes even High settings ! Thank you for your prompt response :cheers:
Maby consider something more Powerfull and Pick some: PowerColour Devil 480 or 470 up to 300€ And maby you'll find some good Fury Offers they should be around 350€ now ! Im so Happy with my Fiji HBM GPU, What can i say, today i've tested Witcher III and after some Godd Tweaking (you got this on my Thread in 2nd Post) Ive crank every setting on Ultra (sometimes above that in .ini ) And then i Hit the UberSampling to =1 lol Gues what? still 60FPS Solid as f.unk :cyclone: Hmm i tried that long time ago (when i finished base game ~150h !!) on my XFX 280X 1050/1575 and then i went from solid 60 to 28 lol :bang: (not all ultra tho, some Ultra/Hgh, Shadows on Med etc.) But now? he he its Easy as goblin pie :hatty: Side note: That HBM is Really something BIG on That Chip in 2.5D configuration.
I would not consider anything higher than rx 470 with that current CPU you have. It will get bottlenecked at some points tho, depending on the game. Still, rx470 4gb seems like a decent choice at that price point. Cant go wrong there.
Indeed OnnA the HBM represents something BIG ! You are right ! Indeed Undying ! I 2 think that the RX 480 would be bottlenecked by my current CPU . I am planning next year a CPU upgrade with the new Zen arhitecture but that I think will be in late 2017. Still my current CPU is holding preety good for what I am playng ! I hope that AMD will get back on track with theyr future CPU's ! Back to the GPU topic : I am considering Asus (altough I don't like it's downclocking bug that I read about on guru3d.com) , Sapphire and Gigabyte ! I am considering a non OC version because I like to tweak it myself on the OC side ! What do you guys think ? Go for a non OC version or a factory OC version ?
I was thinking the same (from this 3 producers I've mentioned) ! I am pleased with my current Sapphire version of R7 370 ! No issues untill now with it ! The only thing it struggles to do is to cool the chipset ! It's the 1 fan version of the card !
Yeah good to go is: XFX/Sapphire or Powercolor these 3 making only Radeons ;-) And Big upgrade for GPU is nothing wrong (my PII x6 also bottleneck my Kraken) But the bright thing is -> I have it So Now its only of matter when Zen arrive into my RIG and then -> It will unlock the Beast ! But 470 is great Value and good performer. UPD. You need to do some calculations in your head or paper: What do you do with your RIG? What games do you Play? Do i really need an Great PerformeR? If yes go for Fury; and after that Upgrade to ZEN; and done for many Years. If No then Stick with 470 4GB/8GB? and Play.
