upgrade or stay hd 7870

[skitz9417]

hi im just wondering would a hd 7870 2gb handle 4800x900 or should i try and get a gtx 590/gtx 780

and i will have save up for a while i have all 3 screens which are 1 1920x1080 and 2 1600x900 screens and i just wondering should i keep my hd 7870 or just get a better gpu for that res

and my specs will be a amd phemon x6 1055t and i will oc the cpu

GIGABYTE GA-MA770T-UD3P

psu antec 620m psu

the amd phenom will bottleneck a enthousiast card like the 780 anyway

 

[skitz9417]

what would be a good card for that res do u think and if i did get a gtx 780 would it be a big bottleneck even if i oc my cpu to 4ghz

 

[_Vass]

a pair of 280x's would be your best bet, but you'd defintely notice a bottleneck

with my board i cant crossfire um would a gtx 590 a bad bottleneck for my cpu

i know i keep but i dont know what card i should get for that res would a gtx 770 4gb be a bad idea ?

no, but a 280x beats the 770 in higher resolutions

really ok if i can get one r9 280x in australia because of bitcoin mining

 

[skitz9417]

and well there be a big or small bottleneck if i leave my cpu at stock

 

[skitz9417]

is there any benchmarks for eyeinfiny on the r9 280x

(280x) -> you can live with the bottleneck no big deal IF you overclock the heel out of that cpu. (probably the first next thing you'll have to upgrade the cpu).

[skitz9417]

ok a couple of things have changed im getting a x4 965 and i will oc to like 3.8ghz and what card will not bottleneck it
