Best Budget GPU

[Amiel]

Hello Guys! I'm planning to build a gaming PC but I do not know which budget GPU should I buy. Please tell me what is the best budget GPU for playing Total War: Attila set at 1080p.

1050 or 1060 probably if you want to play other games that require graphics more, Total war games are more cpu heavy than gpu.

1050ti if you wat to play on medium 1060 if you want to play on high

What is your recommended budget CPU for playing Total War: Attila at 1080p?

[Novalisk]

Just letting you know even with a budget build... well especially a budget build this game will not run well for you. It's one of the worst total war games in terms of optimization I've ever played. I would play it safe and go for a Intel CPU since it was made Total War games. There's a huge selection of CPU but I would go look for the best recommended one so I can't tell ya much on that.

I agree with an intel, personally a 6770k would be preferable but you could do a 4770 @ 3.4 ghz as I know for sure they both run well, one however is more expensive than the other.

Is there anyone of you here who have tried using AMD A10 7860k for playing Attila?

Right now, GTX 1050 or 1060 3gb have the best price to performance
1050ti is another alternative but if you are going to spent the extra cash on the 1050ti just a little bit more would get you the 1060 3gb which is in a totally different tier (though silly Nvidia gives only 3gb vram which could prove annoying in the future, having to lower texture quality considerably in future games).

Radeon cards are still a bit overpriced but they are slowly coming down to normal
Strictly looking at the MSRPs, the Radeon 470/570 4gb is the deal. But reality is different from MSRPs...

I won't bother reading all of this
but op 1060 is ur best option

470 is good I have one but it's more of op's decision in terms of what he has set aside for a gpu.

The GTX 1060 3GB is your best bang for your buck for 1080p, hands down.

The 1050 Ti is another popular budget choice, but the 1060 offers 50-60% more performance, across the board, for only 30% higher price, if you shop smart.

I got my 1060 3GB for $190...there really isn't much point in getting a 1050 Ti for $150-$160 considering that your minimum frames will double in almost every game by going with the 1060, just to save $25-$50.

The 1060 6GB is excellent if you can score one for around $200. Beyond that price point, it is overpriced and you'll have diminishing returns relative to the 3 gig model.

No game prior to 2017 uses more than 3 gigs of vram anyway, and the processing increase of the 6gb version compared to the 3gb is entering diminishing returns territory, especially if the card is priced higher than $200.

With that said, the EVGA 1060 3GB is excellent if you decide to get a 1060 3 gig card.

Don't get the "standard" or base model EVGA 1060 because its heatsink is inferior. Likewise, I'd stay away from the FTW and other higher models because the performance increase they offer is marginal compared to the price hike.

The sweet spot is the EVGA 1060 3GB "Superclocked," or "SC," model. Absolutely awesome bang for the buck. It has the improved heatsink, a nice factory overclock, comes with power dongles, and great EVGA warranty support.

If you don't want to go with EVGA, I'd recommend the equivalent Gigabyte or MSi 1060s.

The Zotac 1060 is often the cheapest, but the cooler and heatsink on it are not as good.

GTX1060-3gb is the best bang for bucks for a GPU and the I5-6600k would be my cpu choice if the budget stretches that far getting any I7 is no advantage if all you do is play games,Hyperthreading isnt used and its about £60 cheaper for less than 3% peformance loss

I can play atila with that graphics card and rising storm2 vietnam on high settings 55fps

[Werecat101]

the reason I say that is I was involved in loads of discussions like this one http://steamcommunity.com/app/325610/discussions/0/1489992080510632695/
where people with GTX1060 cards were complaining about performance in battles.

when you say you play on that card do you run the game at minimum settings

or like this


ok run the benchmark (its under custom graphics settings) and here are the pix

Do the test screen cap the results and post it here..

to see my system specs look in my profile this test was done with the PC overclocked.
