[[drunk] 2021 Giant Stance]

My r9 270 died. I want a small upgrade.

Budget is $200 from frys or best buy...

Any decent options?

Out ^ of your budgfet but better bang for the $250 much the same as the older GTX980.

$130 GTX1050ti ^ much the same as the gtx960 but with better DX12 support.

In between there's the GTX1060 3GB around the GTX970 performance but with the lower 3GB vram it might cause a problem now or later on, I'd just avoid the 3GB 1060 version.

AMD Rx 580/570 cards are gone crypto mining ate them up and the GTX1060 / 1070s are next on the video card endangered species list, lol.

It's hard to find direct comparisons of old hardware so you have to back track ^r9 270 vs GTX960.

1050ti vs 960 ^

Since miners are buying the cards and prices are expensive I guess you can't get a RX 570, 580 or GTX 1060 as is.

So then GTX 1050Ti or RX 460.

Or a used GTX 980, 1060, 1070, ..

Ya the Rx580/70 are so gone there're even wait lists for them.

The GTX1060 is still available but I'd move on it if he goes that way or it'll be gtx1050ti or Rx460/560

1050ti is the better option though compared to 460/560. ^

From a performance perspective the GTX 1060 is much better than the GTX 1050Ti so I guess thanks to that I shouldn't count it out.

But it cost more than it used too.
