I don't know, unless it's not detecting your system correctly or has some stupidly high bar for something being able to run. You will meet people who think something is unplayable if it isn't running at 120fps on ultimate at 4k.. maybe it's a website for them.

Probably too late but you might want to hold on for a few weeks on the GPU, at least to see what the 950 offers over the 750.

Upgrading to an i5 will not improve things much because your GPU is also a major problem for modern games. However you'll find that CPU will not be up to muster if you stick in a decent modern graphics card. You have two realistic choices with a limited budget: 1. Get the i5/motherboard now and...

HAMMER TIME!

http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/5766/3/amd-fx-6300-vs-intel-core-i3-4330-budget-gaming-cpu-deathmatch-performance-in-games Doesn't look to be a lot in it between the two and the fx-6300 wins when combined with an R9-280x at higher settings based on this test. I would say though if you do go the...

Thanks for the reply, I was kinda hoping for some personal experience but I will accept the answer. Thanks again.

Most of the single chip benchmarks for 4k I have seen have been based on systems with running an X99 chipset and even then you have to balance graphics settings. If you have at least £2000/2800EUR/$3000 burning a hole in your pocket you should look into just replacing your PC. If you post a new...

If you don't plan on overclocking you could save some money by not getting a K model i5/i7. Also I don't think the Broadwell CPU's are worth getting for a gaming system.

It seems that on selected games it can make a difference but generally it makes very little, especially if you're playing @1080. The interesting thing in those benchmarks is it has some impact on the lowest frames. It's those dips in performance that can be most annoying when playing. However if...

I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU for something that is cool and quiet. I recently built an i3 mini-ITX PC and am using my R9 270 in it. The problem I have is that the card makes the whole system far louder than it needs to be, and at 28cm it is a tight fit and makes cabling awkward. I am not...
