Will I be able to max out games (Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, Grid 2) at 1920x1080p with this build?

i5-4670K
Cooler Master Hyper 212EVO
EVGA GTX770 Superclocked
AsRock Extreme4
8GB G.Skill DDR3-1866Mhz RAM
1TB Western Digital Blue
250GB Samsung 840EVO
Corsair 200R
XFX 650W Power Supply
Lite-On Optical Drive

Will the cheaper R9 270X, GTX 760, or R9 280X get maxed out settings?

Excellent build list.

not in crysis 3... it's debatable if your 770 could hit 60fps in crysis 3... by the way, the r9-280x is about equal with the 770; maybe you meant the r9-280 (which is about equal with the 760)?

and if you turn down AA a little bit, then yes... the 760 and 280 both could probably max out all of those titles.

I missed your question. It would likely need a more powerful graphics card (R9-290 and GTX 780 or better) to max out those games.

ingtar33 :

I know the 280X is equal. The 280X is ~$40 cheaper than an EVGA GTX770.

terry4536 :

What about BF4, Grid 2, etc. I know I cant max out Crysis 3.

You would do better in these games with the GTX 770 SC. I used this analogy some time ago. Both the GTX 770 and GTX 780 will play Crysis 3, but the GTX 780 will play it well.

if it's a matter of $$ and you can get a r9-280x for less then the 770, and you don't plan on SLi or xfire, have no use for shadowplay or gsync, then i would probably get a r9-280x. Its performance in those titles is basically identical to the 770... and if you can save a little cash i would probably save the cash.

The R9-280X have come back down in price. So has the R9-290. It would have a better shot at playing to games you listed well than either the R9-280X or GTX 770.

right now you can get the r9-290 for less then the 770... it's getting very hard to justify buying nvidia gpus again. now that this bitcoin mining bubble crashed. frankly, i'm probably gonna get a r9-290 now that it's down under $400 (heck, you can get a power color one for 330, and it doesn't have the stock blower cooler)

terry4536 · May 24, 2014

In most cases the GTX 770, isn't cheaper than a R9-290. Most R9-290s are in the $400 - 470 range. The GTX 770s start around $310 with some EVGA 770s at $410.
