My nephew probably games the most out of all of our crew, yet he has the shittiest video card (560 Ti) out of everyone.
We are pitching in to get him an upgrade. Initially, we were going to go with a 970, until the RX480 came out. However, that was when the budget was $250-$300. Now, we are looking to top out at $350. We want this to be a card that the kid will be able to game on for a while. What would you choose?
His specs:
CPU - i7 2600k
Mobo - Asus P8P67 Pro
Ram - 8GB DDR3
He games at 1080p and I doubt that is going to be changing any time soon.
So, what card would you go with? Are the 980 (non-ti) 4GB cards good? I can land one for about $315 but I don't know if an 8GB 480 or 6GB 970 would be better suited.
Thanks!
