r9 280x

[CalumGiff]

Will the r9 280x run games at ultra/high/medium on a single 1080p 60hz monitor and for how long, i know you cant tell the future but an estimate will be nice

[Tedster]

It will probably run most games like that for 5 years.

 

But in 5 years, 1440p will be outdated.

We are not Vanga but yeah for now it will with no problems

I can tell you that it runs pretty much everything on Ultra 1080p at the moment. If you're willing to sacrifice image quality it will last you a long time on 1080p...

I wear prescription glasses so 24" is kinda optimal for me monitor wise , any bigger and i start looking outside my frames. if i can get 3 years out of the card ill be more than willing to upgrade again its only £180 in scotland so that much money every 3 years aint no big deal

1440p is now becoming mainstream, altough 4k is becoming too lol

If you're looking to spend £180 on a 280x, why not £200 on a 290?

2016-2017 max imo. The card itself already over 3 years old.

280x is a rebranded 7970 which came out way back in 2012.

 

I'd say medium to high at 55fps in 2016
