OK so yes this is a near copy and paste of my last thread but at that time it was decided best to wait until AMD launched their new cards. Well now that they are out I'm looking for some input cause I'm dying to fire up all three of my 1440 monitors =)
As the title says I'm looking to do a GPU upgrade. Preferably within the next month. Plan to run 7860 x 1440 for gaming. Will be a mix of games (Bioshock,Swtor,GW2,Dragon Age,Skyrim etc...) but upgrading mainly for Project Cars, iRacing, Star Citizen and Fallout 4
Not looking to run ultra on everything but would like to shoot toward high with a little AA but as close to 60fps as possible. Though 40s is more likely I'm guessing
Current Rig : (nearly 3 years old)
i5 3570K 3.4GHZ
MSI Z77A-G45
16 GB Mushkin Enhanced Blackline Frostbyte PC3-12800 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 9-9-9-24
XFX 850W PRO850W XXX Edition Single Rail ATX 12V 70A 80PLUS Silver
MSI R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC Radeon HD 7850 2GB
Monitors: Main Auria IPS 2560x1440 (DP), sides TopSync IPS 2560x1440 (DVI-D) and an aux 1680x1050 (currently powered off the on board graphics just for web browsing)
Looking to buy 2 cards and CF or SLI willing and able to upgrade PSU if needed. Would like to keep the budget under $1500 for the cards alone.
I am planning to do a full new build in 2 - 2.5 years
390x - has my eye as it's the lowest cost option and I won't need active DP adapters to run my current monitors. Plus I'm already running AMD and won't have to deal with changing drivers
Fury X - I've been really impressed with the benchmark numbers I've seen at 4k but share the concerns that even given the speed of HBM 4gb just might not be enough down the road. Also I'll need the active DP adapters so that adds to the cost. Lastly I'm not sure how well I can fit two radiators into my case.
980ti - I just recently started looking at Nvidia again, price point is right with the Fury X and I think I could add a cheap third card for PhysX to my board. The benchmark numbers are impressive as well. Unsure if I need active adapters for Nvidia surround.
Hopefully my CPU won't be a terrible bottle neck.
Just looking for thoughts and opinions or if anyone is running a similar setup.
Thanks in advance
