Alright, so my friend has talked me into upgrading my video card, and I agree.. I am due for an upgrade.. (probably a new build, but that will come later).. Anyways, my current system has an Athlon II X4 640 running at 3.0GHz. I am currently running a HD 6770, getting kinda bad FPS.
I would like to update AMD R9 290. My friend said I won't have an issue, and it wouldn't hold me back as much as I think.. But I keep telling him that it would bottleneck like crazy.
So.. I'm looking to be playing Watch Dogs, GTA 4, Battlefield 4 and all that such.. Will it bottleneck and jitter or will it be fine to play it at decent FPS.
NOTE: Board is running DDR2 866MHz.. Again, he doesn't see an issue with that either.
