which gpu is better?!!

[aschoneveld]

out of these graphics cards, which one is best for bf4 on ultra and the upcoming titles such as assassins creed unity and farcry4?

I have these gpu in mind.
the Asus Radeon (R9280-DC2T-3GD5) R9 280 3GB GDDR5 DirectCU II for Hardcore Gamers $227
the MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card ($279.00
or MSI R9 270X Overclocked 4GB GDDR5 Twin-Frozer Cooling $290

and would it be worth paying extra for the MSI R9 280X Overclocked 3GB GDDR5 Twin-Frozer Cooling $329?

or do you suggest any other gpu for up to $280 msy, pccg or mwave and these websites only? im looking for a minimum of 55 fps in bf4 ultra on my build which I can give you if you want. (I will update this if I need)

go with the r9 280 its a under clocked version of r9 280x and u can easily play bf 4 at 60+ fps in ultra settings at 1080p resolution .........

fight. lol. can I still get an answer though
what is best gpu under $280 on pccg, msy, mwave or centrecom (please I would really like it it if you briefly checked these websites) but don't feel pressured to do it! (what about playing on high not ultra (my monitor is 60ghz wich I think means It cant go over 60fps if that's helpful)

Get the r9 280x, you'll get smooth fps on ultra with it

I checked those websites.. If strictly staying under that budget, the best card you can get is either the MSI Twin Frozr or ASUS DiretCU II Top (DC2'T').. Both were very good and the difference is that the MSI has more core clock speed but less memory clock speed than the ASUS one.. I would choose the Twin frozr..

 

[aschoneveld]

heeeeey, thanks agera one, helping me again thanks everyone who helped too, but agera one helped me on that one last thing! thanks!

The MSI has core speeds of base 933 MHZ and boost 1000 MHz.. But the Asus has only less base and boost core clock speeds compared to that MSI (Core clocks are more important than memory clocks, if core clock speeds are same, then compare the memory clock speeds, otherwise, stick with the card with higher core clock always).. As the prices are same, the MSI will be the better value for money & performance.. Also MSI has three option inbuilt which can be choosed by this app:

You mean MSI GPU need crossfire or MSI GPU supports crossfire? (That MSI card do support crossfire, no doubts..)

sorry, I should have spoken that more... bettera
if I want two of the msi gpu does my mobo need to support crossfire or sli?

and if you have extra, extra... extra time, could you check out this link? http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2258268/watts.html

Yes, your motherboard should support crossfire/sli to handle multi GPUs..

I mean, if I get two msi gpu do I need sli, crossfire or both?

 

[prit87]

sli is for nvidia gpu and crossfire is for amd the are basically the same just different companies put their own name for it....so if u are buying the r9 seies from amd then the term would be crossfire......and yes you can do that crossfire should not be done in the first place a single stronger card is always better than 2 cards because there are many drawbacks for sli/CF ....
