Ohoy ...
So .. After using my current GOU for more than 3 years, its time to upgrade ... the Sapphire R9 280x 3G D5 clocked at 1000MHz had and still serving me very well. Im playing BF1 and BF4 for the past three years and it is a beast for my budget at that time. With BF1 I feel little disappointed performance drops and cant max all the settings to enjoy the graphics ... hence an upgrade is required !!
This time Im going for nVidia, especially after a couple of disappointing experiences with ATI (defected cards and heat issues and voltage regulator .. ) ..
Recently, 1080 offered in huge discounts ... but my concern is which 1080 should I get ? which brand ? overclocked or not ? which one should be least troubling for me ? When I buy it, it will be difficult for me to return because Im buying it internationally which mean long shipment waiting ...
So the avialable cards are as follow:
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Graphic Card GV-N1080TTOC-8GD
-EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING ACX 3.0 Graphics Cards 08G-P4-6181-KR Real Boost Clock: 1847 MHz 08G-P4-6183-KR
-ASUS GeForce GTX 1080 8GB ROG STRIX OC Edition Graphic Card STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING Boost Clock 1835 MHz STRIX-GTX1080-A8G-GAMING
- MSI Computer GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X Graphics Cards GeForce GTX 1070 GAMING 8G
- ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition Graphics Card ZT-P10800A-10P 8GB GDDR5X ZT-P10800C-10P
- PNY GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Graphic Card (VCGGTX10808PB)
- there are other models but little bit above my budget .... and in case u wondering about my 3 yrs old PC specs, it listed below:
> Intel i7 4790 @ 3.6GHz
> Asus H97-PRO Motherboard
> 8x8 GB DDR3 RAM Corsair Vengeance.
> Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-X 3G D5
> FSP Aurum Pro 850 W power supply
> 1TB Seagate HDD @ 7200 RPM
> Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo for the CPU
> Corsair Carbide R200 Case
> LG 23" Monitor 23MP65
> Win 10 x64 Professional
looking forward for your suggestions and advice
