hey thx for the quick reply.
I currently play on high. ultra text, and i run at 58 to 65 fps , and i am satisfied. (btf3) so i would like nothing less. obvously if th eprice difference isnt huge id like to run ultra

i was debating between the 770 4g and the 780 3g , or do i not even need such a card for single monitor display?

Well i'm looking forward to getting the GTX 770 Hopefully soon. So so should you And if you play on a card two generations old, all on high and 60 fps. you'll no doubt be able to play on ultra easy. I've also got a 27" 1920x1080 Monitor. So go get it!

Here's a link to some benchmarks https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/61740-bf4-beta-benchmarks-released-amd-takes-cpu-performance-crown/

So as you can see the GTX 770 has Average of 66 fps and a minimum of 45 fps which is more than bearable for a minimum!

But keep in mind BF4 is a beta and there aren't 'proper' drivers for the game only beta ones too. So when the game eventually comes out and optimisation updates releasing soon after probably, those numbers will most likely increase.

Hope this helps!

alright thx alot , and i did notice that there is a gtx 770 at 4 g (classified) and the normal gtx 770 , is the classified worth the extra money

Does that one have 4GB memory? If it does, it's worthless unless you play on a multi monitor set up! 2gb will be fine to be honest dude! It's tempting to go for the one with the highest numbers but it's a little marketing crap as well for big numbers..

Also.. With the 7XX series don't go for the biggest clock speed and memory speed and all that mumbo jumbo.. Go for the GPU with the BEST COOLER. Because i don't know if you know but the card will over-clock it's self until it hits a thermal barrier you set. So for example your card will over-clock it's self, only if it stays under the 60 degrease threshold you put on it. for example.. So what i'm saying is that you can just get bigger clock speeds automatically anyway!

i have my eyes on this one right now

 

[s0e0b]

Do you have a link to which card you would buy ?

 

[lilpopjim]

Looks pretty banging Best thing to do will just to go online and look at benchmarks for all the 770's. Damn i really want one now.

 

[s0e0b]

you waiting for the price to go down?

 

[lilpopjim]

Well i'm currently saving up for a Mac Book Pro, when the new ones come out hopefully in this month. So after i've got that, then i'll save up for the 770!

I would go with AMD, BF4 will run better on Radeons and 7970s are less than 300 usd on eBay now or even 7950s
