a new GPU

[Jabibi]

i have some high preformance demanding games in my library and right now the only thing anchoring my build is my GPU (and possibly my ram it only has 1 8gb stick)

my current graphics card is a Radeon RX 460 and from what i heard its only good for basic gaming

my budget would be around a £1000 more or less

i just need a card strong enough to smoothly run bethesda games and roblox 4k on high or ultra settings and strong enough to run vr games for vive which im saving up to for summer.

im looking through a lot of video cards on pc part picker but i have no idea which is good or overpriced

[dum monke]

You can get almost any video card with that budget. My cousin has the 1080ti and he can play any game even new games like far cry 5 max settings 100+ fps at 2k. So i would suggest the 1080ti and then an 8gb ram of the same kind that u have

What CPU and PSU do you have?

PSUs are at the back, low down. Should have a sticker with make, model and wattage. As well as the stated efficiency.

I would recommend a 1060 6GB or a 1070. I wouldn't go far beyond that though, given your CPU won't pair well with a 1080 or 1080Ti.

why?
is my ryzen already outdated or something?


also without opening my pc case i can see that my power supply's name is a cx 430m

CPU is fine but you need to know your PSU, RX 460 is low power 75W card, more powerful graphics cards take considerably more power and need 6+2 pin power cables from PSU.
You also need to check if graphics card you are gone buy will fit inside your case lenghtwise.

I would go for GTX 1070 Ti or GTX 1080, another 8 GB stick of same RAM you already have and 650W PSU if you have some cheap 400W chinabrand PSU (Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 650W or EVGA SuperNova 650 G3).

I agree completely, and I'd also spec a better case. I have a 1080 and it needs a lot of airflow to work well, I'd say at least double 140 front fans with at least double top/rear exhausts.

Yeah you need to swap that out:

[igloosfolly]

+1 for the Seasonic or a Cooler Master V a Seasonic in wolves clothing whatever is cheaper.

I would have suggest GTX 1080 Ti and new Power Supply, but then I'm not sure how many they cost in your country. Also, it is good time to wait for GTX 11XX series card. Non modular power supply would've been great to start with but avoid 12V multi rail. If one of mult rail is full, it failed and shut down. Shoudl they hard shut down computer, it can cause a bit damage to motherboard, RAM, video card and hard drive.

You really have no clue regarding what is a "rail" in a PSU is, do you? They're over circuit protection points, and they're there to SAVE your PC when a short circuit in the cables, for example, happens. No, they do not "fail" and "damage" your components.

When you trip OCP, your system simply shuts down. That's all. However, looking at MY PSU, the AX1500i, which is SAID to be a single rail unit, it actually is not. There are 12 rails on it. Each set to 40 amps. That equals to 480W, and it's only for ONE PCI-E cable. You have TEN of them. A high end GPU uses two PCI-E cables at least, so you need to pull 960W out of the GPU to shut that PSU down.

Do your research before you spout out nonsense like this. Multi rail problems happened on 10 year old PSUs, and talking about them today is ironic.

Yes I do. Rail is the voltage section not over circuit protection. Hard shut down could cause a bit damages to motherboard, RAM, video card, hard drive, etc. I never said "fail" your components.

AX1500i on specs does not said to be 12 rails on it, it is actual single rail, my evidence I found say different.

No need to do my research becasue I have field experince power supply since I built it. Multi rail problem are still present. Ever I tried triple rail 12V PSU, it cause my computer a issue last years. It made me return new PSU and go back to my old PSU. Newer multi rail are getting better at detect OCP and shutdown faster. I know my English is never clear for everyone and nothing can I do about it. And I don't need to be attacked over disagree, thank.

No, it isn't. It's over circuit. It doesn't "hard" shut down, it latches off.

What AX1500i says on the specs is not true, Corsair Link lists 12 rails. That is what is correct. They market it as a single rail PSU because of people like you.

No, you don't understand such simple concepts so you shouldn't be discussing about this topic. I doubt you built and SMPS and if you did, you would understand that rails are set high enough not to shut down on modern units. They're also there to split things for security against messing up. Read:

Yes, I do. 12V Rail mean voltage section. I built for relay, high voltage output, Zero Voltage Switching, 555 timer, heat induction and SMPS. They are not same as PSU. Again, nothing can I do about it and don't attacking me, because that is what really smart member on steam forum said so.

I think already told that triple rail PSU cause my computer issue. Just one time when I hard shut down, it damaged my hard drive and video card on old computer.

I have evidence https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139154
If not correct one, please show me one source for that PSU.
