I upgraded from a Radeon HD6870 that was good in its time to an XFX RX480 8 GB (2 fans) that proved very nice indeed. It was a special deal for £240 from Amazon at the time, but they seem to have moved their specials onto later and more expensive RX models now.

Hi :)

Thanks for the link :thumb_up:
I'm looking at an ASUS RX 560 4GB at the moment (dual fan)....(£132)
There's also a Sapphire Radeon RX 560 4GB OC...a bit cheaper (single fan).

There's other makes/manufacturers but where I buy my stuff (Scan Computers) they are mostly pre-order at the moment. (I've found that Scan has always given me great service/delivery in the past though :wink: )

Oldman :)

I think there was a shortage due to crytocurrency mining. I've just bought a GT 1060 GB (Zotac £210) after a lot of searching to replace a GT 960 2gb (which has moved to my "admin" pc ). I was tempted by the RX580 8gb but they seemed to go expensive all of a sudden.

Prices seem a bit weird with the same Card (with different manufacturers ) being up to £70 more expensive.

Have you looked at the 1050 Ti 4gb scan has several of these at around £130-£140 mark? ( I note your preference for an AMD card - but I think the current AMD cards aren't as good value for money as the Nvidia ones.)

Hi :)

Thanks...I hadn't looked closely at the NVidia cards....the 1050 Ti looks interesting, and it looks like it's a bit 'faster' than the RX 560 :wink:
Price is comparable too!
I usually go the AMD Radeon way as the last NVidia card I had didn't last very long. :( (some time ago).
