Hi guys,

Looking for some advice on getting a GPU upgrade. Currently running a Gigabyte Z87OC board with a 4670K and a GTX590.

I think the best step forward would be one of the above, but not sure which. I generally game at 1680x1050 if that would make a difference between them. I'm not expecting it to last forever, but would like a bit more grunt when playing ARMA2 and BF4.

Thanks in advance :)
 
Thanks for the replies, chaps.

Would anyone recommend the latest AMD GPU's? I've not researched them too much, admittedly but they seem good on paper?
 
The 7970 matrix looks good, although the review I just read, the 590 outperforms it in almost every game (albeit by 3-5%). That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me!
 
So far no problems. I think a better option might be to update my monitor and get something that will run at 1080. Put a bit more load on the GPUs. It's all very counter-intuitive, but I guess I'm not getting the most out of the card by a long shot.
