This is awesome! Good work! I've always wondered how today's most powerful GPUs would handle Crysis. Crazy to see that even the GTX 1080ti still barely breaks 60fps at 4K. This game is a beast.

C4S2K3 Is right, for someone who is in a profession of some kind who makes plenty of money, the savings of a few hundred bucks over your time, effort, and the end result levels things out. I have been building systems since 1997, and I'm now at the point in my life where buying a prebuilt system...

ATI Rage 128 was my first video card. My favorite to this date is my X850XT, it was relatively cheap and could handle games through my entire time in college. I was really hoping the Vega series would be as good or better than Nvidia's current lineup.

I like it, I normally build my own PCs, but this is a pretty good price for the CPU and GPU combo. Also, I don't see how the 6700 is aging, I'm still on my 2500k, and just recently began looking to upgrade since there has yet to really be a reason to. If anything I am only looking to upgrade...

Just based on its looks, it seems to be something like an NVidia Shield TV type of console. I would agree with what was said above, probably a Tegra chip, my guess is an android type of environment.

I have a similar setup, except an older CPU i5 2500k stock settings and a Zotac GTX970. I had similar issues in GTA V, my solution was getting a larger SSD (256GB) and installing GTA V on the SSD, now everything is silky smooth, the stutter in my case came from loading, I also have 16GB Ram. Oh...

Vice City for me.

I have accounts for both websites, but I'm going with the TH team.

Agree with most people here, go with i5 and bump up to 1070 if you're using this for gaming, the i7 doesn't really improve gaming performance over an i5.

I upgraded from a HD6970 which is basically a R9 280, to a GTX970, I did notice a huge difference in performance, but do know that most newer games run at 50fps if you go with very high or ultra settings. Ultra settings on games like GTA 5 at 1080p will keep you between 30-40fps.

Most likely medium settings will get you 40-50fps. A GTX 970 will do about 50-60fps on max settings, but that's with an i5 or i7, don't know how well an AMD 4300 will do.

Either will work, my GTX 970 is powered by a 450W SFX power-supply.

I have an i5 2500k and GTX 970 with 8GB RAM. I don't know what you normally play, but I can say that games like Farcry 4 run at 50-60fps max settings 1080p, while GTA5 runs at 40-50fps not completely maxed out. I would argue though that most games do not need to be maxed out. If you go to...
