Prices on Amazon for the RX 480. We do not recommend buying the RX 480 at these prices.
The RX 480’s launch has been met with a large amount of hype. Finally, a powerful, VR-capable graphics card is available for a mid-range price, and that has people excited — us included.
As a result, however, supplies have not been able to keep up with demand, and both the 4GB ($199) and 8GB ($229) models of the RX 480 have rapidly sold out through retailers such as Newegg.
The time has come. The GTX 1070 Founder’s Edition has launched, and it has majorly disrupted our graphics cards recommendations on the Logical Increments parts list.
Now that the GTX 1080 (Founder’s Edition) is available and on the Logical Increments parts list, it’s time to turn our attention to NVIDIA’s more affordable GTX 1070, launching June 10th.
The GTX 1080 Founder’s Edition has been added to our Enthusiast and Monstrous tiers.
NVIDIA’s highly anticipated GTX 1080 graphics card is now available and listed on our U.S. PC parts list at logicalincrements.com in the Enthusiast and Monstrous tiers.
The NVIDIA GTX 1080 is releasing on May 27th, and early reviews (see below) indicate it is quite majestic.
This new card will launch at $700 for reference versions, with $600 versions coming later. The card performs between 20-25% better than the $1000 GTX Titan X, the previous generation’s king. Right off the bat, it has some impressive numbers:
The GTX 1080 will be out on May 27th.
Last night, NVIDIA unveiled its upcoming GeForce GTX 1000-series, based on its new 16nm Pascal architecture. The GTX 1080 launches May 27th for $600, while the GTX 1070 will arrive on June 10th for $380.
We’re often asked this question: Between the AMD Radeon R9 390 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970, which is the better card for gaming?
If you’re anything like us, then the graphics card is your favorite part of a computer. Graphics cards let your computer do awesome things like super complex computations, physics processing, and most importantly, producing shiny graphics in games.
So, what is a graphics card, and how do you figure out which one you should buy?
This week, NVIDIA launched the smallest member of its Maxwell GPU family, the GTX 950. Launch prices range from $160 to $170, depending on manufacturer, landing the 950 firmly in the ‘mid-tier’ GPU category.
After examining early reviews, we have added the new card to the Very Good tier on the U.S. parts list. Looking at its competition, it beats the AMD’s $150 R7 370 and matches the performance of AMD’s slightly pricier R7 270X.
Finally, AMD has released its new 300 series of graphics cards, with 5 cards available as of June 18th: The Radeon R7 360, R7 370, R9 380, R9 390 and R9 390X.
If you take the time to view benchmarks and read through reviews (linked below), you will find that AMD did not really release any new cards in the 300 series, but has only refreshed the 200 series. They have taken the same GPUs from the 200 series, slightly raised the clock speeds (by ~5%), and added slightly faster RAM. The result is very similar performance to the 200 series.
