What is the best GPU for gaming @1080p with 1 monitor.

[iXGamerXi]

I will be using 1 monitor for gaming @1080p but I want to know what is the best GPU that will allow me to play games now and in the future at ultra settings with good fps. I was thinking GTX 770 but what about the GTX 780 or r9 290? Also will 2gb of vram be enough?

What are your other configurations? Like Proccessor and ram?

 

[Mizo Zizo]

for the same other configurations like processor and ram and storage . the 780 is superior to the 770 and slightly lil bit better than the r9 . but consider the budget .because the 780 is way too expensive . the r9 is the around the same price as the 770 and offers the same performance as of the 780 . so consider that
also consider that r9 generates heat more than the 780 . that will not make much difference since you are building a gaming rig and you will install good quality cooling system . those high end GPU'S need that
so short answer : performance wise the best is the 780 . budget wise the best is the r9
though if i were you i'd wait till October .because the new Maxwell cards from nvidia are coming out around october

i5-4690 3.5Ghz and 8gb 1600Mhz corsair vengeance

Battlefield 4 recommends 3gb vram and the 770 780 and 290 are all great it just depends on how much you want to spend.

A GTX 780 Ti 3 GB and R9-290X 4 GB are best right now.

I think for my budget the GTX 770 is the highest right now. Paired with the i5-4690 will it do what I want it to do?

Yes it should be able to max just about every game out right now

 

[Mizo Zizo]

yea the 770 is great but you will struggle with next year's titles . i'd suggest to get the r9 since it's around the same price so you won't need to upgrade so soon . or hold on for october to see what would maxwell look like

Right now on amazon the GTX 770 is about £240 and the r9 290 is £320. Where can you see them at the same price?

Perhaps because we are in difference countries it is different.

 

[Mizo Zizo]

i am not even american . but even in UK the difference can't be a whopping 100 sterling pounds
something is not right
anyway you can get it from the US . i guess shipping and taxes and whatsoever won't cost anything over 30 sterling pounds for you .i am judging by the way it calculates when i buy things to where i live from the us ( i live in egypt )

 

[Mizo Zizo]

you see , 360 dollars are 210 pounds
http://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/convert/?Amount=360&From=USD&To=GBP
so adding shipment and other stuff including taxes . let's say it would cost you 250 pounds
still you saved good amount of money
