    Powercolor R9 280 Vs. XFX R9 270

    I'm in the market for a new graphics card (especially with all the black Friday sales) and I can't decide between and R9 280 built by Powercolor or and R9 270 built by xfx. To be exact, these two right here: (the 280:)...

    is my gaming rig good for battlefield 4 ultra or medium settings?

    Depending on what generation i7 you have and how many cores, yes it can run Bf4 easily at least medium, probably high 30-40fps.

On BF4 i can get an average of 30-40 fps ultra, regardless of whether or not it's multiplayer with 64 players or single player mode. So I...
