Eight months ago I bought the Sapphire Dual X r9 280 OC, the GPU works great but I am thinking about upgrading so I can play games (Witcher 3 right now) on ultra settings at 1080p at 60Hz.
Should I consider buying another r9 280 and Crossfire (I haven't done this before) or should I buy a gtx 970 which I'm assuming would put me in a good position for the next couple of years. In a year or two I plan to upgrade my cpu/mobo/ram but what I have still runs great after four plus years.
My specs:
CPU: I7 960
MB: Gigabyte x58 ud3r
PSU: Antec 750w bronze certified
Ram: 8Gb G-Skill DDR 3 1600
SSD: 120Gb Kingston
Monitor: Samsung B2330 23" 5m/s 1920 x 1080
Will I run into any bottlenecks with the current mobo/cpu I have? I'm pretty sure my power supply and ram is sufficient.
Also should I consider a better 1080p monitor? I don't plan on 2K/4K gaming for some time and will upgrade to a better monitor as prices come down in the future.
Any suggestions are welcome.
