What graphics card should I buy to improve gaming performance on an i5-4440 with a Corsair VS550 PSU?

A GTX 1060 6GB is the most commonly recommended upgrade for your i5-4440 and Corsair VS550 setup, and it fits your budget [#16293450][#16295583] If you want a better-cooled version, users suggested the Gigabyte WindForce II OC or Asus Strix model [#16295583][#16293773] One reply also said the RX 480 is a valid alternative: cheaper, a bit stronger in DX12, while the GTX 1060 is better in DX11 and uses less power [#16293451][#16293992] Before or alongside the GPU swap, adding RAM was recommended because it noticeably improves game comfort [#16293297][#16293376]

    Start with adding RAM - then the comfort of the game will increase.

    ok, I will increase to 16GB, but what graphics card should I buy? Because the frames will not help me much in Just Cause 3 or BF1

    Well, you're in a BIG mistake, even with the GTX1070 and 4GB RAM you won't play comfortably - the card is not everything, the operating memory is also important.
    Even adding another 4GB will improve the performance of the set.

  • Recommend RX 480 over GTX 1060 for future games

    With current games, 8GB is enough, so you can buy 4GB for now and it will be enough.

    As for the card, there are two proposals in your budget that are noteworthy. GTX 1060 and RX 480. Radeon is a cheaper option so far, but it does not mean that it is worse. GTX 1060 is better in DX11 games and RX 480 better in DX12 games. In my opinion, Radeons can handle the passage of time better and newer games will probably perform better on Radeon. Therefore, and also because of the price difference, I would take the RX.

    I thought about Radeon, but I'm afraid that again when a new game comes out, it will be a situation like with "GTA 5", where AMD graphics cards "clashed" with Intel processors, I have never achieved such performance as with, for example:
    i5 4440 and GTX750

    and apparently they are very similar graphics cards, the GTX was much cheaper when I was buying my R9 270.


    I think I will decide on the GTX 1060, because the DX 12 only works on the W10, and I use the W7 myself and I have no intention of changing the system.

    The Gtx 1060 is no better choice. Half a year ago, RXs were weaker in older games, usually stronger in newer ones. At the moment the situation has changed because AMD has released a lot of patches for bad drivers. For proof, I suggest you watch the tests of these cards not older than two months

    but how will it work on dx11? because dx12 will not install on Windows 7.

    You have an original system and you don't want to slim down? Well, the matter is debatable, it's best to look at the reviews yourself. But as I say, those from two months ago, others are out of date. Both cards are similar, in such a situation I wouldn't know what to choose. The GTX has a lower power consumption and is probably a bit more efficient, depending on the title, but the RX has 8GB of RAM and will probably be supported longer by well-optimized drivers. That's my opinion, I would hesitate. Btw, think about it Windows 10, because Microsoft is putting a heavy pressure on the market and more and more games are supported only on this system

    I used to be used to XP, when the "seven" went cheaper, I bought "7", now I feel good on it, if none of my favorite games come out on W7, then I will buy updates.
