So these sit around my budget for the gpu side of things.

So see the gainward and then spot a evga card

One has 2gb and one has 4gb.
Of course the latter is more money

But gpu boss have them scoring at level pegging

Evga being £60 more? Why?

Also is there anything better on a £200 approx budget there?
That or a r9 280x 3gb. Sits ever so slighty lower on some scores and fps but above on 3dmark and a few fps test

Memory count alone won't increase frame rates (unless the lower vram card is running out of course).

Personally I'd go for the 280x.

Just wait a few weeks.New cards are coming. I certainly wouldn't be even entertaining the idea of buying a new graphics card at this point. Your £200 budget might get you a lot more by the end of the month..
 
Ok ill hold out as people sell up

That or stretch to a r9 290x. As really there only 40/50 more and miles ahead of th4 280

May well just wait then

But it just suprises me. And learnt that the gb of the card isnt every thing as i first thought was
 
Vram isnt everything - not having enough is.

But wait for Maxwell or considering Hawaii. Generally the extra Vram cards from nvidia arent worth it compared to AMD.
