Did you overclock your card at all? I doubt the 2GB would be getting overrun, COD AW runs at around 80 FPS for me on Ultra, no problems.

I see you posting this everywhere and I feel I must address it. I'll try to be quick and easy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVYoiibb2ZU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPUtxxlI5xo 960 and 970 SLI. Getting close to almost double the frames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmSq25LcTrM Here is the 280X CF, comparing a mid-range to the 960, the CF scale is close to double in two games, but the rest the CF scales poorly. Now for the 295X2, which, we can all agree, is crossfire'd 290X's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlCdEK8uQ4U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEgsG_wl0kc The 295X2 is losing against 780ti's and 970s. This is a double whammy, it shows that the 970SLI edges out the AMD GPU(s) and that the CFX scaling is pretty much

Easy does it. I assumed you meant 1200 by XXX, because the 260X cannot get 60 FPS on Ultra at 1080 or 1200

Good for you, but don't make judgments for 1080p when the resolution you use has less than half the pixels of 1080.

With your CPU, the 960 is the best choice. I strongly recommend you overclock it though, it will give you some more decent FPS in games.

260X and the 960 are on complete ends of the spectrum. Its not because of the 2GB, its because the 260X doesn't have that much GPU power. The 260X is pretty much a PS4 GPU. My favorite is when you politely ask why OP should get an HD7970 instead, and they get offended, start a flame war, and then you are blamed for starting the flame war.

Eh I played with a cheap Logy keyboard and mouse combo up to MG1, its really about the mouse's sensor quality.

China. Jokes aside, the reason I bought my Blackwidow was cause it was cheap. $60. And I am extremely happy considering how little I payed for it. The CM Storm Tenkeyless backlit goes out of stock every week, and you'll be damned if you find a K65.

Of course it depends but for me I've always found that the memory clock gives me the most FPS boost in games.

150 would be a R9 270(X) 200 would be an HD 7970/R9 285/GTX 960

Because the memory clock is more important than the coreclock.

Is it 2GB or 4GB? If its 4, you could do a nice SLI but it is hard nowadays to find 4GB versions.

Ooh we just had one of these the other day! Someone else will prob have a lot more info than me but I'll say it first, don't get do it. 970SLI to R9 295x2 is a sidegrade, and you'll notice little performance increase, and actually sometimes decrease. Please wait for the 300 series, its almost here. But yes, just plug your ol' cable into one of dem slots on yer moboboard there'

960 performs better. The 285 is really more in line with the 960. A 760 would be closer to an HD 7970.

Did you even look at those benches? The 960 2GB is clearly better. Now to the point of the 280X, 290 and so on, AMD has really shitty drivers for GTA, atleast when it first came out. I don't know if that is fixed or not.

Ignorant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX_mW36BDKs Skip to 3:06. Now what were you saying?

My room is on the very end of the house, so the internet doesn't travel well. I set up a network extender, but it is still over wireless. I get 60MS on CS;GO and 1MB download time max. However, when my family starts using the internet as well, even just watching youtube, my ping skyrockets. So I came across this: http://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-PA4010KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Starter/dp/B00AWRUICG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1430619059&sr=8-3&keywords=ethernet+extender Do you think this would help me out? I use a wireless network adapter (no usb crap), but still get poor speed. I figured this would be a good option as I would connect Ethernet to it. As far as I understand, you plug an Ethernet cable into the first adapter next to the router, then take your second adapter to your PC and hook Ethernet from the second one to your PC. Do you think this would be good?

Isn't RS capped at 50 FPS?

I never liked the color of the Vapor or Tri. I hope with the 300 series AMD cards will start looking more sleek and nice like the Nvidia cards. (Example, windforce designs)

The FX-6300 is a horrible CPU. Also you spend too much money on a case for a budget build.

Resolution? And whats the rest of your system looking like?

650W is all you need for 970 SLI, I can't imagine the 980 SLI is much more if at all.

Yeah both are over clocked, my CPU at 4GHz. Dunno why it don't show on valley.
