Which Graphics Card?

Kyle Handyside · Jul 27, 2014

Which graphics card shall I get? XFX r7970 or MSI R9 280x because i heard that the R9 28x is the same as Amd's 7970? Which one is better They are both 3GB ? Please help

If you can Find the older 7970 for a lower price ( Much Lower ) then go ahead get it if not then get the 280X as it has somethings tweaked from the older 7970

the 280X is a rebranded 7970GHz with tweaks
EA Games had designed Battlefeild 4 to be optimal with the R9 series GPU. So it will be better for gaming. And Hence Mantle. i.e r7 280x

okay cheers pal!

So best of getting the R9 280x then?

miit123 · Jul 27, 2014

I have the MSI 280x and friend has the 7970. They are the same card in most benchmarks they are like 1fps apart.

Kyle Handyside :

If its for a lower price. But r9 280x is better (only a bit). So its your choice

TopLuca · Jul 27, 2014

Its really down to the price , if the R9280X is slightly higher but not out of sight then get it , has tweaks and benefits from Mantle.
If the 7970 Is found at a much lower price then go ahead grab a bite. Its all down to you my friend

I Have about 400 pounds will that be enough to get the 280x new?

TopLuca · Jul 27, 2014

Kyle Handyside :

Should be more than enough

miit123 · Jul 27, 2014

R9 280x will play unity at good settings. I mean I can't be sure, but looking at this, I think it can.

miit123 :

Before recommending this beast you should ask about his current specs

miit123 · Jul 27, 2014

I would really recommend to buy 780 if you have 400 pounds. It will max-out Unity, and probably max out any game of 2015. I cannot GUARANTEE this too you but most probably.

miit123 · Jul 27, 2014

Oh yea I should actually

what are your current specs ?

TopLuca · Jul 27, 2014

Post your current specs before taking any recommendation man , Your CPU might bottleneck
