They're 3-slot though, so might be a squeeze... and the closer they are, the more issues you'd have with temps/cooling I imagine.The Vapor-X is at the very top of the cooling tree tbh m8, and I've read that although the MSI isn't as good it IS quieter (so you could feasibly run it at 100% fan and still have reasonable temps and fan-noise). Not looked a great deal into it personally, but if I was buying a pair of 8GB myself I'd probably pluck for a pair of the PCS+ cards which are only £12 more

)Hello. You will find with TV's like that (pretty much all TV's in fact), the response times are quite poor, so you will invariably encounter a lot more blurring than you will on a good PC monitor. There's a reason they're sub £500, and it's fine for TV/film watching, but not so much for games... just so you're aware. For 4K, the 8GB cards are a good choice, but as you haven't got a 4K monitor yet, I'd perhaps wait and see what the 3xx series brings. Your 970 is fine for 1080p, and will be for some time. You can of course return it now if you wish, but short of getting a second hand card to tide you over, it wouldn't necessarily leave you any better off.Hi guys new on here and it's my first post so once again, hello to all.
I've recently build my first gaming pc on a tight budget and i've been using ocuk for the past year or so. I'm using an Fx-4 ( which i paid 60 for on black friday ) oc'd to a very stable 4.3Ghz. Just enough to power my games ( Assetto Corsa/ PCars/ GTA series etc anything with driving basically ) using msi gtx 970 gaming 4GB ( 3.5GB
Performance has been topnotch, Ultra everything accept reflection quality but on my 1080p lcd tv. I'm obviously planning on going 4k as 60hz smart 4k tv's are now sub 500 (lg one on richer sounds 42 inch i think).
If thats good enough for pc gaming also ( not looked that deep into it yet so maybe somebody on here could tell me? ) I was gonna get another ( 970 ), but now i'm returning it, and i'm either going for the msi radeon r9 290x 8gb x 2 (£598) or waiting for radeon 380x.
So what do you guys think?
) question - why would this not be good as a single card option?Just stumbled on this offer and it piqued my interested. I'm just planning a new build after being out of the scene for quite a while.
So one (possibly stupid
Surely the newer games with all their trickery maxed out are getting close to, if not breaking the 4GB barrier even at 1080p so why would more memory not be a good thing?
This isn't me trying to pick holes in that advice just genuinely looking for advice myself so that I don't make a duff purchasing choice!
Cheers
