New GPU advice

Raubenheimer · Aug 10, 2013

My current specs are :
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3
CPU - Intel Core i7 2600k
RAM - 16GB Corsair Vengeance CML (2x8gb)
Powersupply - Master 650W
Operating system - Windows 7
2tb storage along with 120gb of ssd storage

Anyone have advice for a good gpu to buy? my budget is $800, would like to try and play games on as high a setting as possible.
Currently looking at a GTX 780, or am i better off getting a 770 with an upgrade to my cpu instead? Im pretty bad with these things so sorry if i sound stupid!

The Radeon 7990 took a big price drop:

Unmatched power at that price, in fact its competition is nVidia's $1000 dollar card (690). Plus 8 free games. There is a cheaper version, but I personally can't recommend them as I don't believe in the build quality from the builders. (I stick with Sapphire, ASUS and XFX mainly, sometimes HIS)

You will need to upgrade your PSU though. Recommends 750w.

amd 7990 as the above member said. You get 8 games plus its a extreme high end gpu. it easily smoke any game & beats the 690 & titan easily in most games.

it wont be a problem with the mobo? because 7990 is pci-e 3.0 the mobo is pci-e 2.0 i think

Frank Esguerra :

No, PCI-e standards are backwards compatible. The GPU will be limited to the specification of the motherboard, which 2.0 isn't really much of an issue.
