Hi all I am looking to upgrade my GPU from a egva signituray 2gb 680gtx. I only want a single card no sli/crossfire. I play on a 24 inc asus monitor at 1980x1280 which can refresh up to 144. At the moment in games like company of heroes 2 I am getting about 53 fps with most setting on high. I am looking to be able to play all the new games coming out on ultra .The rest of my system is as follows.

cosiar 100i cpu cooler
Haswell 4770k oc'd at 4.6
8gb 1600 cosair ram
samsung ssd pro
Asus Maxiums 6 impact.
1000w cosair power pack.

I noticed that scan have a FX HD 7990 on offer atm

Only thing that puts me of that card is the high power usage. Also would that be overkill for what I am looking at gaming res wize? any help would be much appreciated. My budget btw is upto £500 so no titan or 690 afraid :p

Maybe try to wait for the R9 290X. Should be out later this month, or so I've read. It is advertised to be around GTX Titan level.

Single card or single GPU? if its single GPU then the 780 is the only real upgrade at the moment (or you can wait for the 780 ti and the price drops which may follow)
I do wonder though, is CoH 2 that demanding? a 680 should easily max it at 60fps

My motherboard can only take a single card. Yhea COH2 in game bench marked came out at an average of 53 fps, rome 2 on high came out at 50 fps bioshock infinite came out at an average of 53 fps. All of them are set to high ingame presets if I up to ultra they all drop to the high 30's low 40's fps.

Yhea I was wondering about the r9 290x . Just curious does anyone know what nvidia will come out with to combat the new r9's ??
ALso my 680 runs at 82 degrees whislt playing games. A cooler running card would be nice as the fan sounds like its about to take off!
