Impossible to say until the game gets benchmarked but I'd be very surprised if a GTX970 won't max it at 1080p.

Not a problem! Like you say, they're probably all equally solid options. I'd be inclined to go with the ASUS for their Trace Free, but their site doesn't list that as a feature on this model. The site does sometimes make mistakes though and fail to mention features that are actually present, so...

Not in my rig ;-) Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I had no idea!

I have these lines in my DXdiag output: Display Memory: 4095 MB Dedicated Memory: 3072 MB Shared Memory: 1023 MB Why would there be shared memory on my graphics card?

No problem. Glad I could help :-)

Yeah it's a common misconception! Certainly it does apply to horizontal viewing angles too, but as you say, that's generally a much more minor consideration. I'm afraid I couldn't say what's best re models because ASUS are absolutely nuts with the number of models. Seems there's a new one every...

Viewing angle is more important than you think - even if you're viewing head on (like everyone else) there will still be vertical colour shift on a TN panel. If your screen was filled with a solid blue for example, the shade will be different at the top than the bottom. As you straighten up or...

Bump the fourth.

Dropped price. Not really planning on going any lower, but would still consider any reasonable offers.

By late 2015, nVIDIA's next series will be out. GTX900s will be previous-gen and the GTX760 probably won't even be stocked any more. But yeah in general, i5 + GTX_70 is a much smarter option.

Sorry mate but I'm more interested in an upgrade than a downgrade! Anyway, UK-only. Good luck with your sale though.

Very few modern games will run on that, but I'd hugely recommend Shadowrun Returns (and the Dragonfall expansion, which makes the original campaign work better). It isn't demanding at all on the hardware. Obviously your tastes may differ though - we don't know what games you like. Other than...

Thanks sora :-) Dave, I notice the last successful sale you list was for £146 so maybe £140 isn't so unrealistic? Just so people know, price is of course negotiable (goes without saying really for pre-owned stuff). PM me if you want to make an offer.
