the amd phenom will bottleneck a enthousiast card like the 780 anyway

skitz9417 · Dec 23, 2013

what would be a good card for that res do u think and if i did get a gtx 780 would it be a big bottleneck even if i oc my cpu to 4ghz

_Vass · Dec 23, 2013

a pair of 280x's would be your best bet, but you'd defintely notice a bottleneck

with my board i cant crossfire um would a gtx 590 a bad bottleneck for my cpu

http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1839808/gtx-590-770.html 590 is not really a good option either

i know i keep but i dont know what card i should get for that res would a gtx 770 4gb be a bad idea ?

skitz9417 :

no, but a 280x beats the 770 in higher resolutions

skitz9417 · Dec 23, 2013

really ok if i can get one r9 280x in australia because of bitcoin mining

skitz9417 · Dec 23, 2013

and well there be a big or small bottleneck if i leave my cpu at stock

skitz9417 · Dec 23, 2013

is there any benchmarks for eyeinfiny on the r9 280x

_Vass · Dec 23, 2013

(280x) -> you can live with the bottleneck no big deal IF you overclock the heel out of that cpu. (probably the first next thing you'll have to upgrade the cpu).
