I have ordered most of my components except for the GPU/s
I have ordered:
CPU - 4930k
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2400 4x4gb
Motherboard - Asus Rampage Black Edition
GPUs -I want to play BF4, Titan Fall and Elder scrolls maxed out on a single ROG Swift
HD - Samsung Pro series ssd 512gb
PSU - EVGA Super Nova 1300w gold
Case - Corsair 900D
As my monitor will have Gsync (ROC Swift), I would like some advice on what value setup will allow me to max out setting on ultra at 1440p and hopefully close to 120fps. I will be upgrading at the end of the year to the new Maxwell cards,so this is a short/medium term solution,
I am happy to purchase either a single high end card (780ti or 290x) or two of the less expensive cards (290 or 770s). Also please note noise in an important factor for me, hence why I have the MSI cards listed below.
Here are the UK prices:
3GB:
MSI 780ti
£542
MSI 780
£390
4GB:
MSI r9 290x
£436
MSI r9 290
£357
Gigabyte 4GB OC 770
£310
As you can see 2 x 4GB 770s cost just a bit more than 780ti. Would they out perform a 780ti for this purpose? The bus is only 256 on the 770s though compared to 512 on the 290s.
If dual cards is the way to go, would you choose the 2 770s over 2x r9 290s, when considering gsync and price?
Would you choose 2 x 290s over a Titan Black?
Thanks for the helping me on this journey!
