Hi

I'm looking to upgrade my PC I've pretty much locked down every thing else I want which leaves +/- R4000 for a gpu, which one would you guys recommend ?
 
If you can muster a little bit more than R4000, get a GTX770 (if they can still get stock). http://www.wootware.co.za/gigabyte-gv-n770oc-2gd-geforce-gtx-770-2gb-gddr5-256-bit-pci-e-3-0-desktop-graphics-card.html

Otherwise I would suggest saving R1000 more if possible, and get a GTX970 for R5k http://www.wootware.co.za/galax-97nqh6dnb4tx-geforce-gtx-970-exoc-black-edition-4096mb-gddr5-256-bit-pci-express-3-0-desktop-graphics-card.html

If you're set on not spending more than R4k, then look at the R9 380 http://www.wootware.co.za/sapphire-radeon-dual-x-r9-380-2gb-gddr5-256-bit-pci-express-3-0-desktop-graphics-card.html. From benchmarks it seems to beat the GTX960, although you can pick one up for R3000.

I would strongly recommend spending R1k extra though and getting a GTX970.
 
Yeah, I'm very very anti AMD in all respects, so yes I'm very biased.

It always seems to me like there is a "Yes it's faster, but..." scenario with AMD products.
 
I'm pretty sure that my cards don't have random stutter and slowdowns. Hell, I have six R-300 cards staring down at me right now waiting to be benchmarked. I sure hope none of those have this random slowdown issue.

Do you think I could run Crysis at 1080p on Ultra settings with an R9 390X?

Yes, of course but then again it's a title that was released in 2007? But what about Assassin's Creed Unity?

What are you trying to point out with the video?

(Ignoring the fact that it's using that brilliant "whistling: PC port Watch dogs)
 
If you have no wiggle room on the budget then go with the 380. I have the 280 and it's a brilliant card except for the whole driver package (last updated dec 2014 btw). I'll probably upgrade to the 970 later this year.
