did I choose a worthy card for my setup ?

[yoyo59]

I have got a asus pb278q 2560 x 1440 monitor

and the g card which was bought 2 weeks ago

evga gtx 680 4gb, do you think that is good for my res? does the 4gb make a good difference?

let me know your opinions

A 680 is a good card for a single monitor setup. It will power through all the current games with your monitor no problem. 4GB of RAM on your card is plenty.

forgot to mention it is the classified edition if that makes much difference

If you have the card and the monitor maybe it would be more useful for you to tell us how well it works.....

Considering you could have got a 780 for a little more I'd say you did a mistake.

ive never gamed or had a 2560 1440 monitor before thats the reason I asked^

 

[cainer]

erm, play some games and see what you think?

the classified was a week only deal from overclockers for £359

I had the chance to get a new 780 for £470 delivered msi TF but i opted out

but most 780s are 500 upwards which isnt close to the price I paid for the classy

Well that's not too bad then as the 2gb 680's are going for that.

The 4GB wont make a blind bit of difference, the limiting factor of those cards when upping the res is the smaller bus size, and even then it's not untill you start getting past 4m+ pixels does it really show its weakness.

Play some games on your setup, you should be able to play games with decent settings @playable FPS no probs.

what was the reason for the 4gb versions if they provide no gain on the 2gb?
