Do you think this build can run this games on Ultra?

[Ohburn]

Would you think this build could run games like BF4 GTA V and Witcher 3 On Ultra settings?
If not could I would like some advice. My budget is around 700-830$ CANADIAN DOLLARS
Only Thanks!

this would be a more powerful build and should be able to run those games much smoother. PCPartPicker part list: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/cKwct6

Thanks! What psu would you recommend with that build?

 

[Or Nah]

Ultra? Yes.

Solid 60 FPS? No.

Thanks! Would your build run at 60 fps locked?

 

[Or Nah]

Honestly to run it at ultra and with everything on (AA and Hairworks) takes quite a lot.. I'm talking about Witcher 3. My PC is in my SIG and I'm running Witcher 3 at around 60-70 FPS at 1080p with everything on. Just some food for thought.

I guess Witcher on high or medium would be ok for me. But do you think it would be enough to run bf4 and gta V at ultra or High on locked 60 fps?

That build would probably have you see the fps drop below 60 at times but for your price range, thats the best option. If you want solid 60 fps you would need to spend around $1000 and get a gtx 970.

 

[RockyPlays]

bf4 it would easily be above 60 fps and gtaV should run at 60 fps as well. The more demanding games probably would need to be medium or high settings to stay at 60

I'm going to be the debbie downer here. If you buy that motherboard, I wouldn't overclock on it.

Two things to know, while BIOS supports 8-core AMD CPUs, the 970 chipset isn't the best at supplying the power needed for the 83xx. The reason not to overclock is because of my previous statement and because of the lack of heatsinks on the power phases. Regardless if you overclock or not, make sure you have proper airflow across the motherboard. I don't really care for the selection.

As for maxing out the two games, no. Ultra BF4 can max out the VRAM on the 960 GTX by just a little. You will have frame drops below 60.

Battlefield 4, Yes. I have a 2nd PC that has a GTX 760 on it which is slower than a 960 and it runs BF4 no problems at 1080p. GTA 5, ultra but won't be a constant 60 FPS. High, you should be fine though. The graphical differences between those 2 settings aren't very noticeable once you play.
