Graphic card help

[Wither12]

So I have my PC build all I need it good graphic card.

I want to play games like BF4 on ultra/highest with good fps rate 40+ fps.

I want to spend around £250 any suggestions?

I have 1 monitor but Im thinking to buy second one with 1920x1080 and play on the new one.

What's your rig?

I would recommend an R9 280X for your price range. It's a solid card with mature drivers, and when Mantle is implemented into BF4, it could perform even better. You should easily be able to max BF4 at 1080p with 40+ fps.

You can play BF4 at ultra with a card that costs a lot less than 250. Is playing BF4 your main constraint or do you want to spend the 250?

Let's just hope that he doesn't have a Core 2 Duo build though.

Wow that is quite a monster. You'll need more than 1GB of RAM just to run Windows these days. And the 4 year old 250W power supply isn't going to be enough for a dedicated GPU. Honestly, you'd get more for your money if you didn't upgrade it. Haven't you got another system?

 

[THSNOTLEK]

Yeah. A FX 6300. 560 ti. 8gb 1333

 

[THSNOTLEK]

I have a 480 in my fx 6300 that I am replacing for a evga 600b

 

[THSNOTLEK]

I would just need some RAM and a Graphics card.

 

[THSNOTLEK]

Eh. If I wan't another computer I might just make a Sempron am3 build it's like 35 at newegg. any good Sempron Build Suggestions?

 

[thismafiaguy]

Wait, what? Have you already upgraded it from stock?

Is it not this computer?

[THSNOTLEK]

It's that one just will be putting a 480w (crappy) power supply in it. If there's a good cheap upgrade.

 

[thismafiaguy]

You'd be better off getting a 500W or 600W power supply. Here's a Corsair CX500M for $55, $35 after rebate.

 

[THSNOTLEK]

I was getting a EVGA 600 b or 500 b for my main rig is cx better?

 

[THSNOTLEK]

They're the same price and same rebates.
