gfx card spec please

[robertchalmers1]

Thought I had a deal for 2 hd 7950 with water blocks but that has fallen thru. Looking to spend between 230-270 for one either amd or nvidia, only requirement is it needs to be able to fit a waterblock on it.

dont mind buying a slightly lower spec gpu and adding a 2nd one in a few months time either.

Thnx in advance for the great help once again

 

[robertchalmers1]

Anyone?

 

[robertchalmers1]

Surely someone can give me some advice no?

Probably best bet is to try to find a reference 2nd hand GTX780 or 290 for £270~?

Another thing to bear in mind is if you are adding a 2nd card in the future is your PSU.

I'm going to assume thats a reference pcb and you should be able to buy a block easy enough
might help if you give us a few more details like your power supply etc and what you want to do with your cards

He's got an EVGA 750w psu and wants to play the likes of BF4 and Crysis 3. 1080p I think.

Evga 770s cost around 270£ as new, great cooling, great oc oit of the box, silent as well.
And you can fit standard blocks, no problems there.

Spot on bar I plan on playing across 3 monitors, esp racing sims but mainly bf4 etc. Is 2gb enough for triple monitors

I'd want more than 2gb for three monitors.

 

[robertchalmers1]

Thnx so really should be looking at the r9 280x cards then

 

[arc@css]

Yep, if the GTX780 or 290's are out of reach, then the 280x cards will be the better option than the GTX770's.
