You can build a perfectly good loungeroom / home theatre PC and completely skip a discrete video card. That said, if you want your machine to have enough grunt to run most games at reasonable settings, it can be wise to shell out for a decent GPU. MSY is currently selling ASUS-branded RX460s for $119, a nice discount on hardware that usually retails for $150 or more.
Spotted by GalacticBacon over at OzBargain, the deal can be found on this online flyer. The exact model is the ASUS DUAL-RX460-O2G and has the following specifications:
- 1244MHz (OC mode)
- 2GB GDDR5, 7000MHz effective
- PCI Express 3.0
- 20.4 x 11.5 x 4.2cm
- 1x DVI-D
- 1x HDMI 2.0
- 1x DisplayPort
Sure, you won’t be able to play Battlefield 1 with ludicrous visuals, but it’s more than good enough for a second gaming machine, or as a cheap upgrade for a dedicated box.
Note that the deal is only valid between March 27 to 29 and is limited to two cards per customer.
