GRAPHICS VS

Go to solution Solved by Atmos,

currently I'm on 1842x1036 :P custom at 60hz

I will go on a 4k In the future, what will be better for 4k ?

 

Then personally, I'd get the 290x 8gb. more vram, makes 4k run a bit better, 

 

If resolution == 4k then 

set.GPU("R9 290X 8gb")

else

set.GPU("R9 290X 4gb")

It's linked to system ram... kind of like a page file.

Ah i see. Thought something along those lines, but the gpu specific details kinda threw me off.

If you're going 980 consider buying another brand. Strix is only made to be quiet, but is known to be a shoddy OC'er and having coil whine issues.

For 660$ (instead of that 800) you can have this

or an EVGA Classified etc

I believe the 800 was because of import charges.

Yeah probably... but if you're going to pay 800$ for that card might as well get the higher tier ones.

I have found the AMD one in 592.43$ I will go on that one as 200$ cheaper I will need to buy a physics card right ?

 

You don't need a physics card. The AMD one will work alone just fine.
