Hi all. My birthday is coming up in about a week and I get paid September 25th. I am planning to pull as much as $450 out to get either an eVGA GeForce GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 card or an eVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0 card. I'm looking to future proof my system as much as possible with this purchase and at this point with my current video card and setup below:
Intel Core i7 950 Bloomfield CPU
eVGA X58 3X SLI mobo
12GB Mushkin Enhanced Redline DDR3 1600 memory
eVGA GeForce GTX 680 SC video card
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer audio
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD (Windows)
Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD (Games)
WD Caviar SE 640GB SATA 2 HDD (Storage)
Corsair AX850 PSU
I can get 60FPS on practically every game at 1080p maxed out settings that I have except...would you believe Guild Wars 2? Games I plan on playing in the next 6-9 months are as follows:
Killing Floor 2
Planetside 2
Battlefield 4
Guild Wars 2
Elite: Dangerous (no VR)
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Diablo III
Strider
Gauntlet
Star Wars: Battlefront
Tom Clancy's The Division
So I ask the experts at HardForum, of the 2 cards I've chosen as finalists which is the best choice for those games and getting at or above 60FPS in all of those titles at 1080p with everything (except MSAA) maxed? Thanks in advance for your advice and answers. Out!
