Can you let us know what the rest of your system is like please? And what your current GPU is?

This information will help us give you good advice.

Welcome to the OC3D forums fella.

Your specs from your PSU post

AMD A10-7850k, 16GB RAM(three ram slots fury), Graphic card(for now) is AMD RADEON R7 260x(i am going to upgrade to RX 480 if ti is good), two 120mm fans on the PC chassi, and a coolmaster Hyper 212 Evo cpu cooler

Id say you could be looking at the RX480 maybe, I'm not 100% on the euro prices right now.

You best bet GPU wise is either a GTX 1060 or an RX 480.

For 300 Euro you will either get a high-end RX 480, like the sapphire, or a low-mid-tier GTX 1060. Both will offer similar performance.

Just note that with the 1060, there will be no upgrade path. Up to you whether or not you would like to add a second card down the line for potentially more performance along with the potential headaches or upgrade when need be though.

Indeed, and the higher VRAM capacity of the RX 480 will help with high-resolution textures moving forward.

I remember when 1GB was plenty, but now textures etc are getting huge.

IIRC either IMA or EMA will work with the 1060. However, whichever of the two it is is very difficult to implement.

All done for a reason of course. Treat 'em mean keep 'em buying. Yeah I know I just made that up

Those were the days. Suddenly doubled then doubled again.. recently.

Aye, first was the rise of 1440p then 4K. Though the new consoles are mostly to blame.

the PS3 and Xbox 360 had about 256MB of VRAM each and now they have 8GB shared.
