as per title,
I'm looking as the asus direct cu models as a potential upgrade at 149.99/191.99 respectively. The main reason being that I'm a colour coding snob and these match my crosshair board very nicely.
Question is, is it worth the money and will i see a noticable performance gain over my 5770. Also, is the 7870 worth the extra 40 quid over the 7850?
I mainly play on Arma ii, BF3, TF2 and FSX (with a LOT of addons) at 1600x900. I am likely to be an early adopter of arma III as well.
rest of specs:
phenom 555 quad at 4ghz - May upgrade to an 8350 but this is looking unlikely in the near future
Crosshair V
8gb ram
crucial m4
500w ocz modxtreme
thermaltake tsunami case - May be a tad length limited here. With a rough estimate I reckon the longest card it could take is 10in
