max22 Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Going from a ATI 5750. So looking for something that is a worthy upgrade. Currently have i5 2500k @ 4 Ghz, 8 GB of DDR 3 ram, SSD, WD Raptor, one other SATA HD, and currently run games on my 20 inch monitor at 1680x1050. My budget is anywhere from $275 to $500. Looking to play Battlefield 4 and all the upcoming games on at least High settings but want maximum quality if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max22 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Ok I decided on a GTX 770 4 GB. Looks like a good enough video card and will be a worthy upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max22 Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 $312 seems like a good price for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneyardBrew Member Posted September 21, 2013 Member Share Posted September 21, 2013 $312 seems like a good price for it. $312 for a 4GB 770? That's a steal. I have the 2GB 770 with the ACX cooler and I'm incredibly happy with it. Also, at your resolution I'm fairly confident you'll run Battlefield 4 very well.

Luc2k Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Unless you're also getting a much bigger monitor (2560x1600) or adding another 2 to your current one, 4GB is overkill. Also, on the 25th AMD is going to announce their next cards. I'd wait and see what they'll offer since BF4 is a few months away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will still see what happens then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alera Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Rumour has it, AMD are going to offer BF4 as a free game with their new lineup, not sure how true. But again, 4GB on a video card is a marketing gimmick, totally not worth the extra money for gaming at any resolution... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max22 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Info for the new AMD video card has already been leaked. 512 bit bus, 4 or 6 GB of video ram, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psionicinversion Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 dunno why theyd even want to try beat the titan seeing a 780 GTX isnt far off at half the price so pricing has to be competitive otherwise they wont buy it. R9 290x has already leaked and i doubt its a "volcanic island gpu" cus its 28nm instead of 20nm but it could be the one there on about. it only slightly out paces the titan but i doubt amd would slap the same price tag on it.
