run bf4 at 5760x1080 under $400

MilwaukeeGinger · Mar 23, 2014

I want to run BF4 at 5760X1080 and would like one graphics card under $400 to do that. Below are the specs of my system. I currently have a Powercolor 7870 Myst Edition i will be selling unless I can pull this off with that. Thanks in advance. I do not have loyalty to either Nvida or AMD.

Corsair Carbide Series 500R
intel i5 4760K overclocked at 4.0
ASRock Z87 Extreme6
2X4 gb DDR3 1600 (Corsair Vengeance)
Corsair HX 650
Samsung 840 120gb
WD 500gb (just for storage)
Powercolor 7870 Myst Edition OC to 1100mhz
WIndows 8.1 Pro
3X ASUS VN248H-P

I guess you best bet is to get a 770 or R9 280x. It will run bf4 in three screens pretty well, but you will have to drop quality to medium, most likely. What you really want for something like that is 2x 770 or 2x 280x or better.

You should probably look at a pair of Nvidia cards for SLI, a single card is not going to cut it, unless you lower the quality settings. All the cards on this chart cost well over $400, most over $500. Normally, I would recommend a single GTX 770 at that price range, but as you can see that wouldn't be enough with high settings.

I mentioned Nvidia SLI as the preferred option due to the AMD Crossfire Eyefinity frame pacing problems. The 14.1 beta Catalyst drivers and later purport to have an Eyefinity frame pacing fix, but I haven't seen anything about how well the problem was addressed. It might be worth exploring if you want a Crossfire solution, and Mantle in BF4 may be of interest to you.

I was hoping to stick with one card as I would need to upgrade my PSU to add a second graphics card. Is the jump from a Powercolor 7870 Myst to a 770 large enough to see a difference, or am i better off accepting with out a new PSU and a bigger budget BF4 at 5760X1080 isnt a realistic option?

Here's an idea of the performance increase of a GTX 770 versus a 7870, about a 40% improvement.
