Asus's current generation Strix cards are by now very familiar to us, as we've seen the GTX 1060, GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 variants already. That said, we've not seen an AMDbased Strix card with the current crop of GPUs until now, but the theory is the same...
If £300 or so is your limit for a GPU upgrade, you're currently looking at either the GTX 1060 6GB or RX 480 8GB, as the GTX 1070 requires substantially more investment. Performance differences vary from game to game but ultimately don't amount to much, b...
