I'm planning to upgrade my graphics card. Can someone help me?

[Jelle Osinga]

Hi everyone,

I have a Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Boost 3GB. I want too upgrade to a GTX 780 Ti or a GTX 690 because my graphics card don't support eyefinity good enough with 3-4 monitors. I get a tearing line on one of the 3-4 monitors (this happens all the time at the same place in my display. so i'm hoping you guys can help me find the best graphics card for me or helping me fix the tearing.

here is a link to my PC,

thanks in advance

Eyefinity is amd only. And as far as I remember Eyefinity is alot better then 3d surround from Nvidia. But that was from a while ago.If you going 3 monitors then a 7990 or 690 would do good IMO

I'd go with 2 290's, it should be a similar price to the 780Ti.

How much for that 7950???

€ 200,-

290s are about the same price as a 780ti thanks to the rise in amd graphics cards.

if youre gonna do a 290 or a 780ti, get a 780ti

Get a 780. 290 is way too expensive and low stock thanks to stupid miners and 780Ti price increase does not outweigh the performance increase coming from a 780.

[LolNope]

Would definitely not recommend the 690 as it is already a generation older and dual GPU cards run hotter. A 780 TI, if you can afford it, would be able to run 4 monitors and 5760x1080 comfortably in most games and a 780 wouldn't be far off. I'd recommend either a 780 TI or 780 with an aftermarket cooler like the Asus DCU2, but the reference cards are quite nice too. A 290, if you can find one around 780 price would be good too, as more games begin to support Mantle.

Well the gtx titan black is rumored to be out soon so i would wait and see for that.

Okay, Thanks.  I'm going for a GTX 780 Ti. What GTX 780 Ti should I buy (I don't want one that haves 2.5-3 pci slots)? Here is a link what my future PC would be, maybe this will help (http://us.hardware.info/wishlist/622222/jelle-osinga/wishlist-for-pc-upgrade)?

The most powa on earth, the HD7990, top card for a year and still going.

[Joshua Ondangan]

then why not grab a 780 ref? or msi gaming one?

 

btw then we're lucky in my area a powercolor r9 290x (ref) has the same pricetag as a gtx 760 asus dc on pcgilmore . i don't have enough cash but if I did I'd grab one and just look for a gpu block.

True. Get a 780 with an aftermarket cooler rather then 780Ti. It will be cheaper and you won't really tell the difference in performance. 

 

Where I am actually, a MARS 760 is only slightly more expensive then a 780, cheaper then a 780 Ti, and in lots of newer games, outperforms both. And besides, it's Mars.

Yeah, I think thats the case because of Call Bottlenecks. I can elaborate(be specific)

It will probably be around the $1000 mark. Also use http://pcpartpicker.com its easier than that other website.

Nvidia surround is nice. Works well. However some games aren't optimized for it as well as others. For instance, WoW sucks spreading across 3 monitors, whereas Guild Wars 2 and games like FarCry3 are really nice spanning across 3 monitors. 780ti would be my choice over the 690. I would go single card over SLI (even though 690 is 2gpus on one PCB), and if you do choose to upgrade and get 2 cards, sli x2 works way better than sli x4. Less micro-stuttering.

I have found my new GPU that i wanted too buy, with help from FloRolf. The ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5 is the graphics card i'm going for.
