Best 4gb GPU

[VadimKhan]

Can you guys recommend me a 4gb GPU for under £300/$400.
There's just so many GPU's out there and I'm having a nightmare trying to find a good one so can someone please help me out?

Main reason I want a 4gb is to run bf4 on max and to be future proof for a couple years. And is there a preferred brand ??

GTX 780 or R9 290.
GTX 770 or R9 280X.

Get which one you can afford.

GTX 780 is the best choice, and is there a reason why you need exactly 4gb of video RAM?

$500 GTX 980 ... well at least converting US price to yours

500.00 USD = 307.790 GBP

Of course that's assuming it drops on September 19 as predicted.... I'm thinking it will be lil late

Of course, no idea what UK real prices and VAT will add to that.

780 Tis are down to $560 (345 GBP) .... $150 lower than a month ago, so something is about to drop.

But again, you guys have crazy prices over there, I'm just using currency converter.

385 GBP for Zotac 780 Ti w/ VAT

I would only recommend to use a 4GB only when gaming on multiple monitors. You could always SLI or Crossifre though. And are you looking for a single GPU.

For Nvidia:
-GTX770 (Asus, Gigabyte, MSI)

For AMD:
-No single GPU within your price range

Hope this helps.

no amd gpu within price range?

for just a little more, this 290x: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003612sr

or if thats too much, this 290 (american and uk version):

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-1003622sr

if those end up too much aswell, these 280xs can run ultra (max would be a little rougher) too:

both the 290 and 290x can run max

Thanks for correcting me jshoop. I couldn't find one probably because I live in a land where computer parts are so expensive. You probably know where this place is. 😉

to be quite honest, with the performance and efficiency of smaa, hardware antialiasing is on its way out. i dont use msaa anymore unless its a game that is already running at some extreme fps higher than my refresh. i think smaa is beautiful. at 4k, most agree msaa or exotic ssaa is unless your taking screen shots, at which point you would be better off rendering at a higher resolution and then down sampling. future software aa options will dramatically decrease vram resources like smaa/fxaa has done, making high capacity vram not very useful from a gaming standpoint. 3-4gb seems to be the leveling off point where its doubtful any game will ever use more than this unless hardware aa is used. just wait for the 970 4gb to come out and see what it offers over the r9-290 and watch the price drop battles. right now isn't not a good time to buy a gpu.
