Graphics card advice

[robert_raw]

Hello,

I am on the verge of purchasing this card but have a few questions before I do.

I have the following computer listed below which i mainly play BF4 on, I am currently playing it on Medium graphics at 60 - 80 FPS at 1080p on a single monitor. I was wondering what sort of gains I might get on BF4 with the graphics card above, will I get similar FPS at Ultra Settings on a single monitor. I am aware my current graphics card is nearly 5 years old, but am also aware it was a really expensive one at the time and the R9 280x is more of a mid range one in comparison.

Intel Core i7 3820 3.6GHz Socket 2011 10MB L3 Cache Retail
Asus SABERTOOTH X79 Socket 2011 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard
Corsair 16GB (4x4GB) Ddr3 1866mhz Vengeance Memory Kit
Corsair 240GB Force 3 SSD - SATA-III 2.5" - Read 550MB/s Write 520MB/s 85K IOPS Fast Performance 3YR
Coolermaster 850W Silent Pro M2 Modular PSU
1 x Antec TriCool Case Fan 92mm
2 x Antec 120mm TrueQuiet Fan
Asus HD 5870 Matrix 2gb edition

Many thanks

I think you should be seeing roughly double performance.

brill thanks, so 60FPS at ultra settings should be achievable?

 

[thefogo]

It should be achievable, though you may need to turn down MSAA if you want a constant 60fps. It depends on your CPU also.

Fyi.I bought it. Getting 60-80fps all settings on ultra. Made up

Good stuff
How's the cooler performing?

Actually I got the gigabyte one. It is very quiet, not much louder than my old liquid cooled graphics card and seems to handle the heat OK but my case is pretty good
