Im in the market for a new graphics card/cards and im wanting some suggestions.. I want to get "as close as i can" to being able to play BF4 on ultra with 60+ FPS @5760x1080 with £520. Any help would be appreciated :)  I only have one monitor at the moment but im getting two more in a couple of months along with a new psu, i know for sli/crossfire i will need something like an 800w psu and at the moment i have a 600w so if I buy two cards i will only use one for a month or so until i get 2 more monitors and a new psu. I have An i5-3470 @3.2ghz MB: Asus P8z77-Vlx2

Are 520 pounds for the monitors, PSU and GPU or the GPU alone?

- dual 7950, might experience micro stutter
- a 780 (ti), no ultra 60fps @5760x1080 for sure
- dual 280x (if u can find m for 520) best option
- dual gtx 770 (same as 280x)

The £520 is just for Graphics

The guy wants to play at 5760x 1080p and you guys are suggesting him a single GPU ?

Lol.

He would better be off, cross firing or SLI.

At that resolution r9 290x will be left in shame.

Would a 780ti be able to play 60+fps on high settings @5760x1080? I lean more towards single gpu's because i can get more power from them by adding another if i feel its necessary :)  I would probably be happy playing on high settings for a while..

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/battlefield-4-graph... probably not. the 7990 can barely reach 70fps on 1440p @ultra 7990>780ti for now

Well it doesnt have to be single gpu.. Is there and dual cards i can buy capable for £520? and remember i said as good as i can get with my budget to 60+FPS on ultra @5760x1080

Two X r9 280x seems to be your best bet.

The Crossfire will help you get near to your target as much as possible in your budget.

The two 780s I thnk are out of your budget.

What about two of these? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/4gb-evga-gtx-760-supercl...


Gtx 760 is basically inferior to r9 280x and two of these will have lower FPS when compared to r9 280x.

The only game that might be an exception is Crysis 3

Check this benchmark



http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/770?vs=854


Ive just been watching some videos on them.. You're right it was stupid to recommend them.. Is there any cards that outperform the 780ti in my price range? if not i'll get the 780 ti.

A 780ti cannot even beat the two cross fired r9 280x for that matter.

You can check the benchmarks here.

See the benchmarks of BF3 in 2500p and 4k resolutions with Gtx 780ti

http://www.maximumpc.com/nvidia_geforce_gtx_780_ti_benc...

And then see the benchmarks of BF3 with 2x r9 280x

http://www.techoftomorrow.com/2013/pc/amd-r9-280x-cross...

I still think crossfiring 2x r9 280x is the way to go , if you wanna play at that high res. Its much cheaper too.

At resolutions above 2500p , the 780ti offers theoretically no advantage ,and performs perhaps even worse than cross fired GPU's for more than twice the money.

Alas, here I must beg to take leave.

I really wouldn't know where to find them cheapest in UK.

But I have an idea for you if you want.

Go to http://pcpartpicker.com and change your country at the top to UK. Then click on video cards and check their prices.

You will find tons of stores offering them at different prices. Choose a low price that suits you.
