Hi All,
I am currently on HD5870 and I would like to upgrade my GPU
Other components:
Intel 2700k
ASUS P8z68-V PRO
Intel SSD 520
Seasonic X-750
8GB Kingston 1600Mhz
Samsung Syncmaster 245B+: 1920 x 1200px
I am occasional gamer, I would like to try some new games like Crysis 3, Metro Last Light, etc.
My primary need is to have a QUIET but powerfull built.
Q1: Wouldnt my components bottlenecking the GPU (680 or 770) - in terms of PCIE 2.0?
Q2: I would like to have PhysX option and change to nvidia, but I have never experienced it on my own. Is it worth it? I suppose AMD is now better in terms of price / value ratio.
Q3: I have an option to have GTX 680 DCII-TOP for 250€ (1yr OLD, 2yrs of warranty left) or 770GTX brand new for the 290€. Is the 770 worth it?
Q4: Last alternative: Shouldnt I wait for the price drop of GTX 780? Is there a relevant difference between the 680/770 and 780. Wouldnt my rig bottleneck the 780?
Many thank for all of your advices.
