Better than a GTX 1060 and almost as good as a GTX 1070ti in every benchmark but it's ALOT cheaper. We're talking 1/2 the price of a GTX 1070ti and damn near the same performance. $200-$250 for an RX 580 4g-8g card https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=Radeon+RX+580&N=-1&isNodeId=1 Now that the whole Mining thing has finally started to go fuck it's self,there are 100s of used RX 480 and RX 580 cards on Ebay for $100-$150. I recently bought a used RX 480 4g for $90 + shipping off of Ebay. A RX 580 is a overclocked version or the RX 480. That's the only difference between the 2 cards. These are used RX 580 8gb cards. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=RX+580+8gb&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3000 I upgraded from a ridiculously hot and noisy and power hungry ATI Radeon 7970 3gb reference card after playing the BF5 beta and realizing I needed a better card. Yep I'm spanking everyone asses in COD4 with a $100 video card hahahahaha Edited November 30, 2018 by J3st3rXI TheHammer and JohnnyDos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 2 to 4% that you are 'missing' out. if your motherboard is a OEM motherboard, it could be that you have to test it first. Some PCI-2.0 old motherboards, f.e. socket 1156(before the LGA1155) can not handle the 1080ti for example. Dell motherboards are crappy and the BIOS-es aren't updated. There is just about 5% bad luck if the card isn't recognized by an OEM motherboard. Over here, the Netherlands, we have 8 days to return something and not sure if you are able to do that?

Having a MacPro from 2009 is absolutely different as they were always a bit of a step forward, when it comes to technology. And that is great. Even today they have more options, but limiting on other parts and sections of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

There are several editions of them. Mainly if they require a PCIe Power cable or not. Those with, it can reach higher clocks(OC or not) and ones(second URL, I think I see) without a PCIe Power cable. Mainly used in HTPC systems/small builds. Nevertheless a great card with 4GB of VRAM at the Ti version. Still, check out if you can manage to get a GTX 1060 6GB and you won't regret it. I could do a Demo/Stream or videorecording with a (non-power cable) GTX 1050 Ti if you want. I have it at home as I had it reserved for someone.

I have it at a computer shop now, I will be researching some more cards until monday/tuesday, then pick one out so I get back to killing some mofo's.......

If that GTX 660 is good know find something similar new or the same card second hand other option would be to get a GTX 1050TI that would be the equivalent card to date to match or perform slightly better than that GTX 660 this would be my answer if you play games like Call Of Duty2 MW2 FT1 World at War all hosted by XI. For a game like BF5 at the moment probably a 1060 or a 1070 and you be good to play that with 80 frames or so on limited settings and yes a game like that on low looks way better then all the call of duty,s on ultra high. your system I7 -3770 processor, 16 gb DDR3 memory, 2 TB hard drive, 256 SSD. GTX 1060 or 1070 this will probably last you 2 gaming years playing the newer games that come out but on low settings for the older games with a GTX 1050TI this machine is pretty much future proof. Gr Dessy hope the info helps happy gaming. Edited December 2, 2018 by Dessy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
