i have bought this graphic card,,, but i have been in tension whether i have done a mistake ... or it was a good decision ??

It's about the same - custom cooled r9 270x

It was not a horrible deal by any means. I personally would have rather had this card for $10 more than your 270x.

What kind of gaming do you do?

 

[arun1994s]

i want to play all the new games like watch dogs,, bf4 like all the new games...

my cpu is i5 4670k

 

[i7Baby]

You can do that at high settings, but maybe not Ultra.

 

[arun1994s]

why ??? is my cpu is not good as i7 ??

 

[i7Baby]

Its an i5. Watch Dogs wants - http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=4546&game=Watch%20Dogs - i7 and r9 290 for Ultra.

Also look at reviews of your graphics card eg - http://us.hardware.info/reviews/5003/7/five-amd-radeon-r9-270x-tested-asus-msi-sapphire-and-xfx-benchmarks---contd - to get an idea of how well it'll perform.

i cant believe... i have asked the experts and all of them said i5 has same gaming peromance as i7.... iam really dissapointed

 

[RookieOfTheYear]

I think your i5 will be alright. It has similar performance of an 8350, and that plays it no problem.

 

[i7Baby]

Watch Dogs is an odd game. It has much higher requirements than any other game.

The i7's are 4 cores with hyperthreading which results in 8 effective cores. The 8320 has 8 cores anyway.
