Hi guys

I am getting a new graphics card soon and i am stuck between these two:

YOUR BASKET
1 x EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (03G-P4-2781-KR) £389.99
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Vapor-X OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11227-04-40G) £359.99
Total : £759.58 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Price does not matter as they are about the same, give or take some

Does anyone know when the new nividia 800 series is going to be coming out?

Thanks for any suggestions

Will

I wont be overclocking the cards, I play a lot of battlefields so it would need to be good for hardline and battlefield 5(when it comes out)

I like the titan cooler on the one I chose and since I would like it to have the geforce GTX writing on the top

Any clue to when the nividia 800 series is going to be coming out? I might overclock my 280x to keep the performance till it comes out

 

[William-Mathew]

I can properly wait till then and overclock my 280x a bit

AMD said new Gpu by the end of the summer, so im guessing Nvidia will be too, maybe august or even september, but my guess these won t be high end gpu more likely low-mid end

What are they called?

 

[William-Mathew]

The 280x is still a good card and well suited to your Gpu in Mantle enabled Bf games.

Its a great card, but I have used it so much I have noticed a performance decrease but i still get okay FPS so I can properly wait a little bit

I am planning to also be upgrading my CPU and mobo to the new DC i5 when it comes out

here are the 2 articles i found about new flagships of both vendors, just rumors though

Nvidia http://videocardz.com/50448/nvidia-geforce-gtx-880-feature-8gb-gddr5-memory

Thanks a lot

If you can make it an I7. The I7 just lasts longer due to the extra threads and is well worth the extra you pay. Mine is first Gen and at 4.0Ghz is still fine for running any Single card setup.

I don't have the money to spend on an i7, but I will be overclocking it to around 4.5 GHz

 

[William-Mathew]

Would it be worth buying another 280x and crossfire them?

 

[William-Mathew]

How much do you reckon I should sell it for. Its had a fair beating, i have played over 200 hours on bf4 at 1080p and played loads of other games

 

[William-Mathew]

That's what I am thinking. I have a friend who will buy it off me for that
