i3-6100 & GPU

[Teabaghead]

What GPU would be the best to get to use with an i3-6100 for gaming. Approx budget around £150 maximum. I want to be able to play most modern games. Not interested in using high gpu settings. Thanks

Your budget looks like it would support a GTX 960 at most if you can't throw a few more euro's into your budget.

What about the GTX 950?

GTX 950 is a solid GPU for the money, but given your budget, go with the 960. It'll be worth it.

What about the GTX 950?

Usually too expensive compared with GTX 960. Also, GTX 950 is only available in 2GB version (or at least, I didn't saw any GTX 950 4GB graphics card for sale).

For GTX 960 you have 2GB version and 4GB version. 4GB version of GTX 960 is preferable, if price difference is reasonable (around 10% more for GTX 960 4GB than for GTX 960 2GB).

Ok, thanks people

For the same price of ~£150 the R9 380 4GB is faster than the GTX960 4GB

Is there a conflict between the AMD GPU and the Intel CU?

none

What PC case and what power supply do you have?

 

[Teabaghead]

Not sure on name of case, but PSU is EVGA 550 Fully Modular

 

[Seba]

Then, as long as it fits in your case, you can get any graphics card.

 

[Teabaghead]

I prefer the shorter cards. This on looks ok?

380 because it is faster than 960, which is trash for the price.

edit: unless op already have a card in mind? you seems to want a 950? is that what you want? please be clear.

R9 380 4GB and GTX 960 4GB are not that far apart. R9 380 4GB is usually better, but you need benchmarks to see that. At equal prices, R9 380 4GB is the better buy than GTX 960 4GB, but the latter is far from trash.

Regarding GTX 950 2GB at 135 GBP: when at around 150-160 GBP you can buy a R9 380 4GB or a GTX 960 4GB, then a GTX 950 2GB at 135 GBP is a poor choice in my opinion.

For the same price of ~£150 the R9 380 4GB is faster than the GTX960 4GB

but it sucks with slower cpu's, we all know that, so why do you still ry to recommend it, same reason you recommend a AMD cpu over an Intel?:thumbsdown:

R9 380 4GB and GTX 960 4GB are not that far apart. R9 380 4GB is usually better

Till you overclock the gtx960 25%.

The gtx950 will overclock to 960 speeds also.

It really makes no difference , they all run cool and quiet.:thumbsup:

Skylake Core i3 6100 3.7GHz is not that slow.

The gtx950 will overclock to 960 speeds also.

You can also overclock the GTX 960 then.

 

[happy medium]

380 because it is faster than 960, which is trash for the price.

I'd be happy to challenge all 170$ 380 owners with my 960 card for 170$

never said you couldn't, I do

 

[Seba]

The point was that an overclocked GTX 950 will not match an equally overclocked GTX 960.

so you own a trash of a gpu, is that why you want to drag others down with you? D:
