4k or 3 screens?

[George002000]

Hi guys I've been looking into 4k for a while and I've been thinking if i should get one 4k monitor or 3 1080p screens. And the moment I've got a $100 graphics card because my 780 broke. So I've got a budget of $1200 - £700 to spend on a GPU it doesn't matter if it's one or two i can crossfire so if you could tell me good cards/card what would be able to run games on max setting on 4k and if you think i should get a 4k monitor or 3 screens.

Thanks.

Your GPU budget is actually comparable to budgets for entire medium-high end gaming rigs lol.
Anyways, with $1.2k GPU budget, why would you play BF4 on Medium? You can very well play with 50+FPS on Ultra and 75+FPS on High with any of the above suggestions, R9 290/ 290X CF or 780 Ti SLI.

So, you can afford any of the 3 setups. I'll recommend Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X CF setup. The R9 290X and 780 Ti setups give just 5-10FPS more than 290 CF and cost $300-400 more. Having an extreme budget doesn't mean spending it all. I'd rather go with R9 290 CF because its more than enough for your specified gaming needs.

I hope it helps

Ok so pritty much this will run any games on max 4k?

R9 290 CF setup= almost any latest title on 4k on ultra on 45+ FPS. High on 60+ FPS.

Short answer: yes.

And how much better will the X version be then the the normal none X

Lol it's better then the titan

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Titan isn't a gaming card, its a 'graphics computing' card. Its specifically meant to give more double precision point calculating power for 3D modelling/ designing/ VFX/ etc.

[MeteorsRaining]

I'm running a single R9 290 Tri X for my 4k.

A single one can get FPS like that.. Woo

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Yes. But mind you those are mostly low-medium quality. Only Crossfire/ SLI manages such FPS on high-ultra.

Oh ok. Well I've got a problem my work can't pay me all that money. Lon story what do you think i should buy first the 2 cards and the PSU or 1 card and the 4k monitor

 

[MeteorsRaining]

Best thing I'd do is buy 1 card and the 4k now and if I feel its worth upgrading, then I'd buy the second one down the road when I have the bucks. PSU can be managed when you get the 2nd one I hope.
