Need a ned Graphics card but dont know what.

Hi, im a good gamer but i dont know shit about "computer parts" Im running my PC on 2 AMD Radeon HD 6800 series graphics cards, and i wanna know if it will be a good upgrade to change them to a GeForce GTX 780, or juste switch out one of the AMD HD 6800 for a Gtx 780. Or will that not make any noticeable FPS diffrence when i play games like BF4? Im now getting about 50 FPS when i play BF4 on High resolution, and its pretty laggy on Ultra resolution. Thanks

I think with the GTX780 you will get better performance, for instance on BF4 you will get something like 65~70 FPS running at 1920x180, Ultra detail preset, texture filtering high, 4X MSAA, AA Deferred high, HBAO.
Not bad for a single card solution with all his benefits.

Do you know the rest of your Stuff in there, CPU, PSU etc? going on a limb Id say yes, you'll see a good fps jump going from 6800, to the 780. But the rest of your components could hold it back a bit.

If you switch out one of your AMD cards for a GTX 780 you will end up using the GTX 780 while the remaining AMD card sits idle. You might as well remove both AMD cards.

A single GTX 780 should get around 47 fps at 1920x1200 with Ultra settings.

Look at that chart - you can also get good results with one R9 280x or two R9 270x or two GTX 660 Ti, etc.

Whatever you do, make sure your PSU can handle it.

You can only run multiple graphics cards in SLI/CF if they're similar. I'd suggest picking up a R9 290/290X when the custom cooler versions come out, but it depends on budget.

Also, settings != resolution. Resolution is e.g. 1920x1080 or 2560x1440. High/Ultra is preset settings for things like anti-aliasing and draw distance.

Thanks for all the answers! Another question: When im looking for a GTX 780 i can see a bunch of different ones like EVGA,Gainward,ASUS,ZOTAC, how do i know witch one to get?

Alot of people recomend EVGA, they have the best warranty, personally I've always gone with Gigabyte brand or MSI cards myself, this is apparently the fastest one of the bunch if thats what your going for:
