6670 to 290 jump

[Phoenix70]

Just HOW big will the jump be? It will be accompanied by an i5 too, but the gpu is the main thimg... over 40 frames per second?E
EDIT: with my 6670 i play bf3 multiplayer 64 players 720p medium at 30 fps and im satisfied with it.. but i want more

You gotta be joking right?

 

EDIT: But in all seriousness, what res do you game at?

my monitor is currently 1680x1050, but if i get the 290 i will go 1080p or 1440p..

Like the jump from Intel's IGPU to the 6670.

Stellar.

Also,does your monitor support at least 1080p?If not,then you're also gonna need a new monitor.

I see we have the same resolution monitors.

Let me tell you this...my 560 runs BF3 on high settings at about 40-50 fps.(and at 1680 x 1050).

And now...my 560 is equal to what...an R7 265?An R9 270?

You've got the point I think.

 

The R9 290 will run anything at about 60fps at 1080p,and almost anything at around 60fps at 1440p.

The 290 really shows at high resolution. (Anything above 1080p)

Read my updated post.

The 290 is at least 4 times more powerful than the 6670. Expect a huge jump.

Just make sure your PSU is ready for this

Ill get a new psu, i dont think a cx 500M can handle an i5 and a 290

Daym, enjoy your upgrade

Will work 100% fine, only upgrade if you plan to add another 290 in the future.

 

CX 500 is perfectly fine for any i5 and single GPU configs.

It actually would be just enough, depending on how old it is though - I would never recommend cutting it too close on the PSU side, good news is you wont need that much more - 600w - 650w max and you're golden. I would recommend looking into something from evga, just come ask around the forum if you're not 100% sure what you selected is good or bad.

In that case you wont have to change PSU right now, It'll work fine as long as you don't OC it.

not even... it's like a 260x/ 750ti.

You'll notice a night and day difference. 4x the difference if you get a 1440p (in physical pixels)
