Is it good for gaming @1080p at high (ultra) settings, on games like crysis 3
and is it worth the moneY???
it is availible for almost 1600 260$ at flipkart.com
I read a lot of reviews on this site that GTX 760 was the best card in this price range.
But sadly it is very expensive in india more than 400$

if your not going to Crossfire, the 4GB is a waste. This has been tested extensively and the 4GB Vram can actually use up to 3.8GB Vram, but by the time it is actually needed the core itself is already struggling, so it offers no benefit. Even at 4k and multiple screens when over 2GB Vram is used, no FPS increase is noticeable.

Proof with another 2GB vs 4GB Card (GTX 770)

I love this link as it clearly shows the non existent difference, with modern day games running resolutions equivalent to 3 1080p monitors (5760x1080) without showing the 4GB any better.

In Crossfire Vram isn't added but mirrored, so 2GB+2GB=2GB, 4GB+4GB=4GB, 2GB+4GB=2GB ect....

so Your choice if you still want the 4GB, I only recommend it if you decide to go Crossfire later on, that's it.

Yep. If two for gaming though it loads the card and you get lower fps. But one for browsing etc while the other for gaming should be no problems.

The 4gb will work the same as the 2gb, but it will handle multiple monitors or 1440p better.

You can compare to other cards here - http://us.hardware.info/reviews/5003/6/five-amd-radeon-...

Would setting 2 monitors be a good option??


yes, the above listed explained it all really.

two monitors for gaming is not the best, as the center of the screen is in the middle of two borders, in most cases this is unplayable. Only some games this is good for (racing games like GTR EVO, you can move POV to one side of screen, so one side is driver the other passenger). Depends, but for 90% of the time it is not very good for gaming on.

Thanks would using 3 monitors for gaming be better.

yes, the center is the middle monitor, that is the prime setup you want for gaming. The two side screens are not stretched images, just a larger Field of view, which just brings gaming to life.
