Hi
I am looking to upgrade my GPU in my system. I have looked at specifically the R9 270X DEVIL + RADEON RUBY REWARD, The MSI GTX 760 OC 2GB |Gaming Edition| + Daylight & the Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual X.
MSI GTX 760 OC |Gaming Edition| : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-206-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1830
Powercolor Radeon R9 270X DEVIL: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-161-PC
Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual X: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-347-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1842
Now I already know that the R9 280 will outperform all of the listed cards however, I am afraid that the bottleneck of my CPU will be significantly noticeable when it comes down to framerate. I have an i3 2120 but I plan to upgrade to an intel core i5 2320 or 2400.
I just dont think I'll upgrade to that until Christmas time. Would the GTX 760 or the DEVIL 270X be the ideal choice for me then? Or would my i3 2120 3.33GHz handle the 280 decently?
Thanks.
