How do you do non-GPU intensive gaming?

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

I am currently running two R9 270x's crossfiring. I would like some opinions on if I should upgrade or not. I do a lot of gaming but not very GPU intensive.

In that case try the r9 380 Costs only $200- $250 and is pretty good with more of a budget go for the r9 390 about $350

I have an Anet A8 as my project printer and a i3 MK3 for when I want things to work. 

 

I extrude my own filament and haven't saved a penny yet.

 

 

My PC:

Spoiler

CPU: Intel i7 8700k

Motherboard: MSI Z370-A Pro

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V (2x8GB) DDR4-3200

GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition (OC'd)

Storage: 2x 2TB Seagate 5400RPM, 128GB ADATA SSD

Power Supply: EVGA Supernova 750w  B2

Cooling: Noctua NH-D15. 3 Intake Fans, 2 Outtake

Case: Fractal Design Define R6

That's more like the price of an R9 380x.

yeah I was talking about the 380 not the 380x

I don't know which games are not Gpu intensive (maybe i do Thats not the point) 

heres deal if you plan on playing Triple A games and so on maby its time to move on, but if as you are saying that (non Gpu Intensive) Undertale Etc etc is around you well you might consider to sticking with same graphics card for now and wait for Good deals. they will come and once they do just go with high end one and in My Personal opinion (imnt touching yours) Nvidia is the way to go.
