GPU generalized Questions

Drummernate121 · Jan 27, 2014

So I've been planning on building a computer now for quite awhile and mostly for gaming. I'm not sure about graphics cards and what would be the most bang for my buck. I would like to at least play BF4 at 60 fps. Any feedback would be great. Thanks

Hello... Here is a General performance Chart of current GPU's http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html . It also depends on the your CPU and Monitor/display resolution.

Passmark is horribly inaccurate.

R9 270(X) or GTX 760

for Battlefield 4 tests

GTX 760 is 14% faster than R9 270X , on average . R9 270X is 5% faster than R9 270 . All 3 cards are good for gaming.

What is your budget and system specs ?

millwright · Jan 27, 2014

I agree PassMark is kinda bad for 2 cards that are close to one another, but it is fine to start with to see the big picture.

Then look for real benchmarks to make the final choice.

It saves a lot of time.

budget? spec?

Drummernate121 · Jan 28, 2014

Budget probably around 500 and that's the top I can really go. I'm going 8350 4.0 750w gigabyte 990fx motherboard

This is the best you can get, but its a bit over your budget. If you don't want to OC, then you can choose a cheaper MB. And to achieve 60FPS in games you really need a decent GPU, so it will be expensive, you can go with R9 series of AMD, but that also cost you around the same :

Oh. Not for the whole PC. I'm going to spend around 1100-1200 on the entire build. 500 was set aside for GPU
