Has there ever been a better-looking action RPG? Quite a few of you picked The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as your most visually stunning computer game of all time, and we don't blame you as it does look incredible. Such visuals do come at a cost, mind, as this is one of the most GPU-intensive titles in our suite.

R9 380X remains the pick of the sub-£200 bunch, however it's worth remembering that R9 390 and GTX 970 are a class apart. AMD's partners need to be aware of this, as elevated pricing for R9 380X could spoil the party - should the Sapphire card appear at, say, just over £200, it risks being overshadowed by the much quicker R9 390 at £250.
