I'm upgrading to the Asus 28inch 4k display for productivity and gaming. My computer is currently running Window 8.1 and I have two AMD Radeon HD 6870s running in Crossfire. I know that I definitely won't be running anything on ultra with this setup but will my current graphics solution run at least borderlands 2 or something of that nature or will I have to upgrade to a new graphics card right off the bat?
Furthermore, when I do upgrade (be it now or a short bit down the line) what graphics card should I opt for? I would like to spend less than $600. Will an R9 290 be sufficient or do I have to go for a 290x/GTX 780 or, heaven forbid, 780 Ti/Titan?
EDIT:Thread title.
EDIT 2:Thanks for the tips. I've decided that the performance of my two 6870s isn't gonna cut it and I'm going to go for a reference r9 290. The reason I'm choosing a reference card is that I will be liquid cooling my entire rig soon. This will allow me to over clock and get 290x comparable performance while maintaining a cool chassis.
