Hello everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my computer and get a new graphics card, my current specs are:
i5-4670k, quad core at 3.4ghz (Water cooled)
12GB Vengeance DDR3 ram 1600mhz
MSI Z87 g45 motherboard
650W XFX PSU
Radeon Sapphire HD 7870 (2GB)
120gb SSD
1 TB hard drive
So I can play BF4 on ultra no problems, but can't get ultra settings on Farcry 4 or Metro Last light, so I'm going to buy a new graphics card.
My budget is around £250, and I was looking at the R9 290x as it has mantle,or the gtx 970 however I want value to performance, as no point getting a beast graphics card that's bottle necked by the rest of my PC or cant run on my PSU.
So should I aim for something lower like at R9 270 or maybe a Nvidia 780, or maybe get a second 7870 and cross fire?
I'm looking for pure gaming performance, not to bothered about the noise or temperature.
Thanks in advanced.
