Just saw this gpu and report are saying that it will out preform the titan on bf4. Guessing because bf4 will support amd. Any thoughts. Looking to build another pc for around 1k-1500. Might put this in. I want to run an i5 3570k. Any thoughts on this. I will be playing older and future AAA titles. Let me say this straight. I will be gaming on a 1080p flat screen until I get another monitor. and even when I get another monitor it will still be 1080. I want any game I play, for planetside to battlefield 4, ect to run on ultra with an avg of 60 fps. Think this gpu might do it. Like I asked any thoughts opnions ect will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Please check the model of the card again. The GTX 280 has been out for years, I think you meant 280x from AMD?

The GTX280 is an old inefficient card, perhaps in the performance class of a $60 6770.
You can do better.

Wait for it to be released and benchmarked. The 280x is more along the lines of the 770 area, the 290x is just rumors on benchmarks right now.

Okay well Im going to post this build. With the keyboard, mouse and speakers its a little over my price range. Plus ill still have to buy the hookups for the tv. I'm making this clear that I want to play games like BF4, skyrim with mods, ect. These games I want to max out but Im going to be playing only on 1080p.

Heres the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1MsEa

Like I said wanna max out games like bf4 on 1080p.

Is the 770 4gb enough. Should I switch out for a 780, or eventually sli 770?
Also I started liking windows 8, that's not final though.
Eventualy gonna put a lot bigger ssd or two in place of the hd.

Any suggestions?

Im okay with it being a little over with peripherals, as I like this mouse and keyboard. Noob question but my motherboard will have the sound card and network so I can plug in headphones or speakers and an Ethernet cable for internet right?

The 770 is good enough, and the motherboard has what you need.

Idk about BF3/4 but with planetside 2 getting 60fps at all times is not possible right now espcially in large scale battle (zerg vs zerg). The game bottleneck a lot on cpu just like any other MMO out there. About 290X many were hoping it will be cheaper than 780 while at the same time faster than titan. Since the 699 rumor i already heard people want it to be significantly faster than 780. It might be in BF4 with MANTLE :D  . anyway we should know the truth in a few days :)
