I Need Some Graphics Card Tips

Hi guys! I was wondering if you could give me some advice on what I should do? I am running a 7870, and when I play BF4 I only get about 30-35 FPS. I am aiming for the most bang for buck choice, so should I get another 7870 for $180 and go the crossfire route, or save up a bit more cash and buy a r9-280? Any other suggestions are welcome as well! P.S I am running two monitors in 2560x1600. Thanks so much!

I can cook minute rice in 55 seconds

What are the rest of your specs?

I'm thinking get another 7870 for CF.

get another 7870 and run on a smaller monitor if you want 60+ fps constantly while intensively gaming, but you can hook up the two for any casual gaming and get anywhere from 40-50 on the next gen games.  That is until Mantle comes out.

so your total resolution is 5120x1600?

 

i would tell you to grab a second 7870 but for $180 its not worth it. 

 

ive seen some at $150. see if you can find it at that price point unless youre fine with $180. 7950s are going for $200 so you might just want to sell yours

What until the BF4 full release. if you can't get 60fps, get another 7870.
