YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI Radeon R9 270X Gaming Edition OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £155.99
Total : £165.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).




Slightly over but great value for money.

looks good thank you, I have been looking at the 7950, seems a bit more costly but was thinking of trying to get a second hand one. any thoughts?

 

[Martsdset]

how is it in compared with the card you mentioned andy?

dunno if i could stretch that far at the moment lol, unless i could pick a decent one up second hand

just finished installing bf4, time to see how my 5770 copes with it, if its bearable i might save up a few quid extra for a better card

What's the rest of your system like (cpu + overclock / resolution / psu)?

 

[Martsdset]

AMD FX 3.5Ghz 8core
12gb ram
HD 5700

 

[Martsdset]

not sure I wanna play bf4 with this card lol even on medium graphics im barley touching 40fps lol

That is really weird ram. Do you have 2x 4gb + 2 x 2gb? If this is right, you might aswell take out the 2x 2gb if they are slower or at different timings. If all you do is game and watch movies, you will hardly touch even half of that ram.

What is your motherboard and PSU?

Is the psu of decent quality?

its just 1 stick of ram

gotta be honest im not sure, but I know it wont be good enough to power a decent graphics card.

just going to work now, ill find out the exact spec tonight

 

[Martsdset]

Is this 7950 any good

 

[jonnyp1993]

yes mart, that will be good enough to play BF4

and your full spec is:

AMD FX8320 @ stock (3.5)
12GB XMS3 1600MHZ ram, 3 x 4GB
Current GPU (HD5770 saphire)
PSU: corsair ax450 watt i think. or it might be 500watt

there is no OC on his CPU at the moment due to needs a better cooler. allready hitting 65c @ stock under prime test.

edit: by the way, your not allowed to post links on here , so id remove it if i was you

Looking at the second hand market on a well know auction site for a 7950. your going to be lucky to get one under £200.
because of all this 'mining', prices have gone mental.
