Here, RX 560 for 99€, which is around 85 British pounds: https://www.alternate.de/ASRock/Radeon-RX560-Phantom-Gaming-2G-Grafikkarte/html/product/1482494? On the other hand, I couldn't find a 780Ti that wasn't way more expensive than 85 pounds. This might be a regional thing, but in Germany, even a 760 costs 125€ on Amazon.de, with a 780Ti over 150€. At that price point, you're better off buying a 1060 or RX 580 instead and call it a day. |
€99+6 postage works out at around 95 or so pounds, CEX charges 1.50 for postage of items so ... yeah it's close to the same price, but again.... you're talking about less than half the performance for more money.
Regardless of your country btw you probably have services there for buying from other countries and delivering them to you, just like... for the UK stores some of them don't ship to Ireland but we've got 2 big companies who will accept packages on behalf of us Paddies from UK stores and forward them on for a lil extra fee, could be worth looking into in case you're limited to certain stores in your region some point down the line.
1060 is a neat enough purchase in 2019 though, performance wise that card is perfectly in line with the best you could get from a older gen 780TI and even the lower end version has the same 3GB of video memory that the 780ti had

The one I keep banging on about to people though is that new AMD 5700 or 5700XT, the price point is mid range but it reaches upwards of 1080 in terms of benchmarks, If I was going for an upgrade from my current main PC gpu (a 980TI) I would consider that 5700XT as the next step.

That's the non xt comparison, the XT is actually 15% faster than the 1080 and yeah... you see the price of those cards on amazon and such https://www.amazon.co.uk/PowerColor-Radeon-5700-Graphic-Card/dp/B07TB5LFGM/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=5700&qid=1569652336&s=gateway&sr=8-4 309 for that, very respectable for what's in the box.
