With R9 390X you can play at 30+ fps at 4K at Ultra settings on most modern Games.

from one of those links:

"R9 390X can easily handle any game at 1440p--and it’s just about better than the GeForce card, too."


like i said, you need 980 ti sli to play 4k properly, and even then you will not play them ultra, and will need to turn down settings


29 fps on witcher 3 /barf, the rest are easy running games and even on high settings cant reach past 50 fps...

when most of the time you WILL be dipping below that.

390x is a great 1440p card, NOT a 4k card unless you are playing a game like csgo....

It becomes a matter of definitions above 1080p and that applies to specific games even more so. I've seen benchmarks where at 4k, with the same build, the lowly 270x got better fps than a titan-x, but that's just the differential in game engines, optimization, api's etc specific to that game, in every other game tested the titan-x blew the doors off the 270x at 4k. In dirt3, titan-x sli actually got worse performance than a single titan-x, but again, that's specific to that game and a few others.

Generally, for good playable fps at ultra settings, for most games, 1080p - 970/390, 1440p - 980/390x, 2k - 980ti/fury x, 4k - titan x/295x2 are minimums, sli/xfire changes that somewhat, but only in games that have optimized support for such. In BioShock Infinite @4k, sli is so dismally optimized that even sli 980's is only seeing 20-30 fps whereas CS:GO is off the charts with SLI 970's at any resolution.

Yup, that particular model is basically nothing more than an i7 4770, without the integrated graphics. :D

No it is not. Overclocking really isn't worth it, unless you live near a microcenter. The cost to overclock, is better spent elsewhere, on a gaming system. You could overclock that i7 to 5.0ghz, using an inferior GPU, and it still will not game as well as a 1231v3, with a faster GPU. The only time a faster CPU, with a slower GPU, could beat a slower CPU, with a faster GPU, was if the slower CPU was so slow that it couldn't properly feed said card. That is not an issue, in this case.

It's a matter of budget. For best gaming experience, all that's needed is the most powerful gpu you can afford paired with a cpu that's capable of equality. Having the fastest, most expensive cpu and a mediocre gpu kinda blows as the cpu goes largely wasted in most games and seriously wasted in others. A Xeon 1231v3 isn't the fastest available, but for the price, a 3.4GHz i7 equivalent is a good value. It'll handle any gpu with decent results. An I5 4690k is cheaper, but only with OC will it show better results in some games, and even with OC will have worse fps in games that are optimized for multi cores, like bf4 multi-player etc.

It's your choice, but I'd go with the Xeon.

I would go with the xeon but where I live (U.A.E) the i5-6600K is cheaper
