Need Help With Graphics Card!

[WifiIsLife]

Hey guys! This is my first forum post on LinusTechForums.

I have a question.. 

I want to be playing Rust... 

Im getting a R9 270x 4gb Card.. 

Im wondering if this card can run Rust at 45-60 FPS without streaming Here are the specs actually...

 

Processor 3.8 GHz FX-Series Quad-Core FX-4120 RAM 8 GB DDR3 Hard Drive 1000 GB SATA Graphics CARD Shappire r9 270x 4gb Dual-X Graphics card.

 

Wondering if this can run Rust (Survival/PvP Game FPS Shooter..)

I really want at least 45 FPS?? But If not just name or give a estimate of what FPS I will get..

 

Game Rust By Facepunch... Look it up on steam.

 

Add me on steam if you want to chat about it or just leave me a comment down bellow and I will be sure to say Thanks!

It would be good to let us know what resolution and settings you want to run at.

I would get a better card like the R9 280 or R9 285, they cost a little more but they are better cards.

What is your budget and do you already have all your other components?

My 260x can run rust at 60FPS. Mind, low to medium settings. Very much playable. Your specifications are better than mine, too. And I run the thing on solid 1080p.

Alright then, well a 270X will play Rust just fine at 60FPS. Should even be able to get high settings, my friend is currently running a 5770 on low medium settings which gets him 60fps in most situations so you won't have any problems at all with a 270X.

Holy balls, yeah you'll be completely fine with a 270x, you'd probably even be fine with a weaker GPU if you plan on playing nothing but Rust for your entire PC experience. Otherwise I'd still buy the best GPU you can get for if you're gonna play other games.

Yeah, I'm not sure you're going to need 4GB of video ram for 1366 x 768.  Even a 270 might be overkill.  You only have so much frame to fill at 768 unless you're cranking FSAA.
But it would give you some overhead for newer games at the same resolution, and it is probably a good deal right now.

If you really wanted to save the money, you could probably go a step further down but you'll lose some visual quality even at 768.
