GPU Recommendation

[Honeydiddle]

Hi all,

 

I know there is lots of these but im looking for answers more suited to the games i play/will play.

 

Specs: (Some of these parts are here next week but i won't have the card that quick anyways)

 

i7 2600k - Going to OC to atleast 4.4ghz but aiming for 5ghz

16GB Avexir RAM @ 1600mhz

GTX 560 

Samsung 830 SSD

Asrock Extreme 4 Mobo

 

What i need is a GPU that will max out any game i play and will can handle Physx. I would wait for AMD's 9xxx series but i like Physx. I will be running one 32" monitor at 1080p. 

 

Games i will be playing:

 

Planetside 2 - My most played game and will be until i reach the level cap or it dies out. Also not well optimized for now so even a 780 struggles but i know they will improve it.

Battlefield 3/4

Cod Ghosts 

GTA V - If they give it to us PC players.

ARMA 3 - Will want to max this out for sure

 

So im looking at a 770 most likely. Or a 780? Or get a 760 and add a second one later? Also 2Gb, 3Gb or 4Gb? Remember ill most likely stay with one monitor at 1080p.

 

Thanks in advance

GTX 780 if you can stretch the budget for it.

[virusal19]

770 or 780 both great cards, get the 780 if you can afford it. 2GB of VRAM is plenty enough if you are planning on staying on a single 1080p monitor.

[hehehehhehehehe]

780 if you can afford it! otherwise you could look at the 7970

[hehehehhehehehe]

You also have to consider when you need it by since it is rumored that AMD will be revealing their new lineup of GPU's

If you can afford the 780 then definitely go for that. Though I heard Arma 3 is not well optimised, I could be wrong but I have heard that, so max'ing it out might be a little difficult. It's like Arma 2 which also isn't optimised, shame really :(

The GTX 780 is damn expensive here. The cheapest 780 is $1079 whereas the cheapest 770 is $729. That is a big gap. Im not trying to cheap out though but i think that is a way too big price gap

yea if you can a afford to get a gtx 780 get it, and since most if not all gtx 780's come with 3 gb that means you will have plenty of vram to last well into the future.

GTX 780 is $950 here, I bought mine from UK to Finland without taxes which brought the price to $700 which is still overpriced as hell. I would get 770 and another one later on and check if you can get them cheaper than that, I'd never pay that much for a GPU.

[Honeydiddle]

I should have said 1079 NZD which is still like 700 usd and over 900 aud. People who are mentioning the 780 having the extra 1gb of VRAM, if i were to go 770 i would get the 4GB one i'd say

[WildTurtle]

780 is canada is $649 and the 770 is like $399.

Yeah that's 30-40 euros over the european price. :|

Then again in Switzerland you can get 780's for -50-60 euros.

Economy globalization is the pants.

hmm..i happen to have the same intentions as u do, but i wanna play Arkham's Origins as well..thinking of 1 MSI GTX 760 for now, watercool it and add a second 760 later but leave that on stock cooler cos it'll downclock when idle right...O.0

At the moment its really difficult to run planetside 2 at max without running into issues such as crashing.
