Hi, I would love to help you out. What is your current processor? I don't want the new gpu to bottleneck what you already have. It may not be necessary to spend a full $400.

GPU is NOT the same thing as grafic card. If you're asking for a good grafic card for 400 dollars I'd recomend MSI GeForce GTX 1070.

GTX 1070, if you can't get that under $400 then 1060.

1060 performs better than 970, performs at about a 980 level, and I'm pretty sure it's the same price as 970. If he already has a 970, then yeah, get another one, but I'd say stick with a 1060 if he doesn't.

Well, it depends on what 1060myou get. There is one with 3 gb and one with 6gb. So it depends.

6gb outperforms 970, I have a 6gb 1060 and it runs everything at high-ultra 60fps 1080p.

RX 580 is on the market tomorrow, maybe check how that performs? If you do have more to spend than that, yeah a 1070 is a good choice.

Great, so the RX 500 series cards come out tomorrow. The general consensus is that they will only be marginally better than the current RX 400 series and with a higher price tag. If you want to go with a more powerful card; you can check my further recommendations below.


These two cards sit around your current processor's performance range and are bang for your buck:

AMD RX 460 $89.99
This is currently ranked as the best price/performance card at this time. Performance ranked at 4288

Nvidia GTX 1050 TI $129.99
Ranked the 4th best price/performance card at this time. Performance ranked at 5801


If you would like to pick up a card that will last you into your next processor; I suggest :

Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB $179.99
Don't mind its small size, it is still a 1060, and ranked the 3rd best price/performance card at this time. Performance ranked at 8559
