Which Graphics card to choose.

Szeki845 · Jan 2, 2014

Hello
My spacs are:
i5 3470
msi b75 motherboard
8Gb corsair vengance RAM
650w OCZ PSU
EVGA GTX 770 OC ACX
2 SSD
1Tb HDD
Hp Pavilion 22xi 1080p Monitor

I decided that i want to upgrade my GPU. Im looking at "MSI 780 Twin Frozer (3GB)" or " MSI R9 290 (4GB)" Im mainly playing games like BF4, Metro last light, Crysis 3. I need to know if upgrading my GPU will make a performance difference in game performance. I play at 1920x1080 resolution. P.s. I play BF4 with Nvidia card and im experiencing big FRAME DROPS AND STUTTERING. I've read that AMD handle BF4 game better and its smooth. AMD also has Mantle support now. So what to choose?

GTX 770 is a powerful enough card to run modern games. If you have fps drops and stuttering, my guess is it's because of your CPU. BF4 is CPU dependent game and I don't see how your 770 can harm your fps.

If you mainly play BF4 I would recommend that you purchase a AMD card as they are supported by FB3,but if you play other games purchase a 780

You chosse

Also, if you get the MSI 780, I recommend the 780 lightning. It's a bit more powerful than the Twinfrozr and also OCs much better.

Stick to the 770 as it's a good card. Get some card from 800 series when they come out this year instead of purchasing something you won't see SUCH a big difference in.

As for the frame drops, I've heard that Windows 8 is the solution.

I dont want to buy another graphics card. I have my 770 and i want to return it because one DVI is broken, so i thought i can add extra £70 and get R9 290 or add £110 to get 780. what you thing?

If you send back your GPU they will only replace it with a new one and are not obliged to give you back your money if they do it is a goodwill gesture.

if your talking about reference cards then 290 is kinda slightly better then gtx780 but
r9 290 is kinda 96"c and gtx780 will gave you around 80 to 82"c so its upto you

and happy new year to everyone
