Graphics Cards
Picking a graphics card can be a little bewildering, but so long as you start with a budget in mind and a target resolution, things can be made much easier. It’s unlikely you don’t need an RTX 4090 if you’re just gaming at Full HD with a 60Hz refresh rate, and the counter to that is a budget graphics card likely isn’t going to get you what you desire if you’re already running a high-end 4K display or high refresh rate display. I’ve pulled up four deals covering four scenarios and price points.
The more compact design allows this GPU to fit in a 2-slot system and smaller mid-tower cases, especially well suited to mATX builds.
Full HD/1080p – MSI RTX 4060 Ti 8GB VENTUS 2X Black OC – £394.99
The larger Ventus 3X features a triple fan cooling solution, larger and more expensive, but with faster clock speeds and improved cooling, it’s a good performance upgrade from the non-Ti.
Full HD/1080p High Refresh Rate & 2K/1440p – MSI RTX 4060 Ti 16GB VENTUS 3X OC – £459.98
A powerful gaming card for all resolutions, but especially well suited to HD and 2K resolutions for high-refresh rate gaming, plus it comes with a free mouse!
2K/1440p – MSI GeForce RTX 4070 12GB VENTUS 3X E OC – £599.99 includes free MSI CLUTCH GM41 RGB Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse worth £69.99
One of the best-looking and most powerful cards in the MSI range, the Suprim is a premium card equipped for killer 2K and 4K gaming performance, and well suited to high refresh rate ultrawide displays too.
