I’m not that much into PC stuff, I know there is a amd radeon hd 6850 in my computer right now, but its not capable of dx12.
so what is a cheap replacement to get access to apex?
Go ahead and get a RX480
a 470 isn’t much slower either, a 4gb 470 can be had for ~150 bucks now. fantastic bang for the buck.
470’s are historically < 10% slower than the 80. and that dude is quite a bit cheaper than the 80’s.
But if you wanna go 80, they’re not expensive.
Not a big jump in price for a good bump in performance.
The Geforce cards really aren’t playing the bang for bucks games currently. the 60 is tit for tat with the 480. but it’s at least 25-50 bucks more.
the 50 loses handily to the 70 all day, and isn’t cheaper.
That being said I run a 1070GTX and the new Ryzen platform. When Vega comes out I will likely early adopt that as well.
Hold everything , AMD Just introduced the 570/580 cards, and they are 5-15 percent faster for the same money.
SO definately be shopping for a 5xx series card.
