I want high-ultra graphics 60fps and once I get to the point where I need to turn the settings to medium/low to get 60 fps in games that are reasonably demanding (bf4/witcher2) I think I'll probably upgrade my rig to whatever is going.
here is my rig - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/glenifir/saved/gjddnQ
I bought the 780, I know the 760 or the 770 is the better offer for my gaming needs RIGHT NOW but in the future when that extra gig of v-ram comes in handy I'm thinking it's not such a bad deal.
How many FPS will I lose on average when trying to play big games like bf4 on max settings 1080p. I'm thinking about 10fps a year so hypothetically when bf5 hits the market (2 years after bf4, It'll run 20 frames slower than bf4 on my rig) which means I should be running things at my standard after 3-4 years? and if the hardware keeps up It could be good for 6 years if i turn it all down to medium?
I feel like I'm being way too optimistic here lol, I bet the drop is more like 15-20fps drop per year which halves the longevity of my cards for fps at least.
do you think the 3gigs of v-ram will come in handy and really separate 2gig cards from 3gig cards in a year or two from now? I don't plan on going sli ever, and I plan on doing as much overclocking as I need to when my system isn't running things at 60fps.
thanks.
