HD 5870 just died on me. What's the cheapest card I can buy for 1440p with at least high settings 60fps?

>buying proprietary cards

Who said anything about buying a proprietary card?

>1440p
>60fps
>high settings

GTX 1080
Anything weaker will go under 60 with today's games.

Gtx 1080 or rx470 8GB crossfire.

lol crossfire. Good luck finding a game that works with.

If you're okay turning down some settings a 980 Ti or a 1070 will be good if the 1080 odds out of your range.

>rx470 crossfire
You shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet.

High and Ultra aren't the same thing.

These are probably your best bet, if you're willing to go a little bit lower with settings you might be able to get away with a RX 480

how the fuck did it die on you

The fuck? Everything breaks after a while. AMD cards break even sooner.
What are you implying?

if you're not OP or it's not an answer then fuck off tnx

I've just upgraded my ancient 5870 to a XFX RX 480 (backplate for life), but it's only with the intention to see me through to May/June, when I'll get either a 1080ti or a RX 490 or whatever the R9 is

It just seems i n s a n e to get high end reference or launch models instead of the revised editions

I'll just give the 480 to my Dad, so he can play newer Total War games again, so I'm content with such a shot term purchase; that and it's only £230

>HD5870 starts artifacting when it gets under load and temps go up
>works fine with high fan speed, but noisy
>hear about the oven trick, decide to give it a try
>GPU doesn't post anymore

Currently using a HD6570 to provide video out for web browsing and my shows, bought a 1600p Korean monitor too so I don't think I can settle on a 1060 or 480.

kek screencap this faggot he actually fell for the oven trick lmao

did the jews still work after spending time in the oven? lmao

If you can grab a Fury for cheap, go for it. If not, get a 1070.

You should have just replaced the termal paste

Gtx 1070. Just gey the cheapest you can.
not worth it for higher price.
RX480. If you want to play on high or drop few setting.

1070.

R9 Fury is a good choice, if you can find it for $300 or cheaper.

Excuse me?

He's referencing World War II and calling you a moron

Pick one of these depending on your budget

He sounds like a moron

I dont think the oven trick is the first thing you do when you get some temps m80
wt literal f did you think would happen?

Put it in the oven because artifacting, not temps.
