Your GPUs?

If I were ya'll, I'd skip 7 series cards altogether and go with the 9's... microcenter has a slew of 970's for below 350... and they are overclockable beasts...

I'm currently running 2 670's in SLI but thinking about upgrading to the 4gb 970s

I am running this on my old machine...

Q9300 @3.01GHz
6GB OCZ DDR2 800MHz RAM ()
AMD 5870 1GB

Runs ok with Player models, Crowd on High, Special effects on, AAx4, but textures I had to put on Low. I believe that's where you need 2GB of recommended VRAM. My GPU can't cope with it, so I am upgrading soon anyway.

Have "other" PC lying around my house (AMD build :P), will check how it works on it, tomorrow .

I bought a gtx780 in July 2013 and have zero motivation to upgrade any time soon. Eats most things alive at 1080 or 1440p (love downsampling)

A bit two pricey for me. The lowest this card has dropped too was 214.99 with rebate on amazon. I'm waiting for that deal to occur then maybe get another one for sli down the line. Does the 970 have 4gbs of vram?


Edit: just saw your link. It appears it does. ****. I hate saving but I'll get the 970 good choice

I have a R9 270X paired with a circa 2010 i5 760 - runs nicely on high @ 1080 with 2x AA. Could probably bump AA up a bit but haven't really experimented yet.

This is running as admin.

Can't believe how the i5 760 still holds up - my research suggests even a i5 4690 won't give me much of a performance increase in games, despite being 4 generations ahead. Crazy value for what was only a mid range chip on its release.

Why do you have a great CPU with low memory with an extremely low tier graphics card...that doesn't make sense...

With the hardware you're pushing you should never have anything lower than a 7 series cards or a R9 series.

Probably bought a pre-built 'gaming PC'. LOL
