I plan on getting a ps4 but it is already at a disadvantage compared to my pc. Go max out skyrim graphics with the graphics mod on pc and then play it on the ps4. It does not compare, not even close. The ps4 and xbone imo are better suited for COD style games. Even though I preferred bf3 on...

Yep I have that msi version and with a custom fan profile I have not hit anything over 52 degrees with the fan sitting at 50%. It is still super quiet and I can not hear it at all. The cooling solution on that card is great. This is my first amd card and I upgraded from a gtx 440. That ran...

I have a vertex 4 in my laptop, have had no reliability problems with it. Even though I personally have had no problems does not mean they are good. They need to improve their reputation of building reliable ssd's. They are known to have some of the worst reliability in the business.Their...

A 6870 with a 800 watt psu for only $170!! Thats a killer deal! But, and its a big "but". It sounds like that 800 w psu is crap to be that cheap, there fore not worth it.

Well, the thing is that WOT is poorly optimized for most computer configurations. Ive heard of people running 770's and still having problems with it. To the original question, i second the 7750 if he will not be upgrading the psu.

Yep, I second 770 or 760. But there is one more option, and it is the 280x. Right now it is selling for $400+, but the original price on it is 300. You can wait a little bit and get that or still go with a 770 which is very good.

The 270x is is not "the new on the block". It is a rebranded and updated 7870 with nearly identical 7950 performance. To the op, I have a 270x it plays almost all games on ultra at 1920 x 1080. But that still does not change my recommendation of going with the 760 as it is still more...

I have a q8300 with a 270x. It is right at the max of what the cpu can handle. In games where it is gpu intensive, it has no problems. But where it is limited by the cpu, such as TW rome 2, and crysis. The cpu throttles quite a bit. . I have not played bf4 but I hear it is quite cpu...

I think its alright, I have a gt 440 in my secondary computer and it sits at 95 to 96, 90% of the time. Even when idling it will still sit at 80 degrees. I have never experienced any throttling and it seems to be perfectly happy at those temps. I know its a different card, but I do believe it...

780 ti is the fastest "gaming" graphics card on the market atm. First, you will need to upgrade your psu, and make sure you have a decent enough cpu.

I have the msi, super quiet, cant even hear it unless the fan speed is 80% +. Even then it is only a slight cowl. But I have the gaming and it does not OC at all, my guess is that they save the great OC'ers for the hawk version which I would recommend, both are very quiet. I have also heard...

I too switched from nvidia to amd this time but I got an msi 270x. No flickering problems but I am having to drivers crash on me in rome 2 and crysis. All the other games are stable. Never had problems with nvidia drivers and really hoping amd fixes these issues. I am not running any OC...

I would say the 760 is faster "overall". But the 4gb in the 270x will be better for any future xfire. A lone 270x will never be able to utilize the whole 4gb but a xfire config will be able to. While a x2 sli 760 with 2 gb will be bottlenecked by the memory. Like meest said, 4k will be...

I have the msi 270x gaming and it does not overclock at all. It is factory over clocked to 1120 mhz core but I was hoping to get it to the hawk speeds at a minimum which is only 1150. The highest I can get the core up to while still stable is 1130. It seems like they do a good amount of...

Can someone please help, I dont know if it is any good and if I should look into replacing it. PS: It also has a five year warranty.
