Advice needed on new gfx card

[kirstar]

I am looking at the R9 270x cards and saw the nice ones ocuk sell.
As my account is 12 years old I can get free delivery YEY!!!!!

I have also seen the 4GB cards. So a couple of questions.

Based on the stuff sold by ocuk is the R9 270x a good deal or would the nVidia cards be better at the mo. Thinking £150 ish mark.

I am also looking at the toxic card

Also are the 4GB cars that much better.

You know it's sad. I work for a UK major IT reseller and even at cost price (personal purchase) it is cheaper for me to but from ocuk. Just goes to show how good ocuk prices are.

3 years old system.
it is either a q8400 or an i3-2nnn

There was a time I could have told you my bios settings, memory timings and voltages for all my systems from memory

looks like I may need a new system.


that may be wrong. I have so many PC's I have lost track of whats in each one

ah ha

have i5 3rd gen and 32gb ram Kingston HyperX 1600

Have cleared purchase with she who must not be made unhappy by expensive computer purchases

So have gone for the R9 270x 4gb

So thats
Engine Clock 1120 MHz
Memory Clock 5600 MHz ( 1400 MHz GDDR5 )

I wonder if I can persuede my wife that I need two of these

 

[kirstar]

good point. My wife won't let me buy a second one and you are right. Most of those games wotn even use more than one CPU core.

Just doublechecked

GA-MA790XT-UD4P w/Phenom II 955 32gb Kingston HyperX 1600

The i5 died IIRC

Will have to see what I can find, either that or get a current CPU and board.
