[HELP] New GPU for rFactor 2

[Symbian]

Hi guys,
I´m asking for your help. My old GTX 460 (768mb) died during last weekend, so I have to buy new one. What card do you think will sit it my configuration?

CPU: i5-4430 3.0GHz (Hasswel)
RAM: 1x8GB DDR3 1600MHz
MB: MSI B85-G43
Windows 7, x64
(I´m using one 22´´ screen with 1920x1080 resolution)

Big question is - is better nVidia or AMD? I heard nVidia has gives better performance in rF2, or I´m wrong?

I have limited budged for this upgrade - about 150-160€. So I´m thinking about this one right now: http://www.gigastore.sk/geforce-gtx...-2gb-ddr5-dp-hdmi-dvi-active-overclock+98114/

If there is another AMD card able to provide comparable performance, you can recommend something in this price category. Thank you for your help

Hi Symbian,

I too understand Nvidia is the way to go, so that's a no-brainer

My system is about the same as yours:
i5 3570
8 gb 1600 Mhz
MSI something B75
Windows 7 x64
24" and 22" simultane@ 1980x1028

My card is a GTX 480 1,5Gb and I have to tell you; it runs perfect! It suits the configuration well and I can set everything to full, drawing around (depending track/car) 100 fps steady.
Sure, shadows high is another thing as they are way to heavy, but I have them set at medium.

So, why not go for a 480 second hand? Don't cost to much (here around 80 to 100 euro in Holland) and it's a nice fast thing.
I think I saw once it has more than twice the speed of your old card.

thanks, but I need to solve it as soon as possible (this week I mean), and there is no recent offer on second hand 480, so buy new one is better solution for me now
But you confirmed nVidia is better for sure, and that is really important for me, thx

I've gone from a Radeon 7950 3Gb to a Geforce GTX 770 2Gb, in rFactor 2 I have almost doubled the frame rate. The difference between two video cards in Assetto Corsa is very low, then it is clear that in RF2 is mandatory to choose Nvidia.
