fukk it... Investing in a Video Card for my PC

[Leasy]

maybe POTY candidate @Kamikaze Revy can chime in with his POTY candidate knowledge

should he go with 290x or 970 GTX ? or i5 or i7 and why drop that POTY knowledge

would be odd for a tech forum have someone who knows nothing about technology win POTY

itd be like a gym forum having a POTY candidate because he copied and pasted threads from bodybuilding.com but didnt actually life himself

everybody be hating on that AMD breh I was looking at Youtube clips checking out these Cards. Most def will go the Intel route.

our definitions of comfortable might be different

I just mean 1080P/60fps with improved visuals compared to the consoles. I don't mean Maxed out visuals at 1080P/60fps.

I definitely want to make my PC game serious. I'm doing my pc gaming on a weak 740m laptop, but that building makes me confused as shyt, even with all the instructions on youtube and shyt. I ain't trying to fukk something else from doing something wrong. I might just take the p*ssy way out and buy prebuilt.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Damn 1500 shyt are you reaching 60FPS?

Nope, not in all games. 4K 60fps all ultra really isn't viable with today's cards. You'll need at least two, and you still won't be able to play some games at 60 fps. Stick with 1440p. You're coming from 1080p. The difference from 1080p to 1440p is substantial. You'll notice it right away. The difference between 1440p and 4K is not as substantial when the monitors are only 27". shyt even my 48" 4K tv doesn't look that much better than my 1440p monitor.

If I said to my friend that his 980 TI and I5 4690K setup ain't gonna hit 4k60fps he'll run out to Microcenter just to get a second 980 Ti lol.

I fukk with Ks more than anybody on here. Ask the PC heads. I sometimes play in 6K.

I'm telling you, 4K is not worth the investment at this time. Stay with 1440p

Off top I know I have a OC GTX 650 2GB/Processor AMD Black 8150 Overclocked to 4.5 typical memory of 8 GB. I know I will need an entire new setup.

What do I need processor and card wise?

CPU AMD

I wouldn't bother trying to chase 4k. you'll need two gpu's, and you won't be happy when games don't have SLI support

try to get a 1440p gsync monitor and a gtx 980 or better. if you get something like a gtx 970, I would stick to 1080p

to be clear, you can do 4k 60fps in a lot of older, or less demanding, games. but newer graphically demanding games will be a problem. better to have a 1080p or 1440p monitor, and just downsample if you have a lot of overhead. also a 144hz gsync monitor will be able to take advantage of higher (60+) framerates

Damn thats crazy i got a 55 inch 4k i am trying to game on as well.

6k what the fukk that shyt look like? Games might look whitewash like shyt.

CPU AMD

This was before i knew anything about the AMD and Intel shyt ya know. Bought the bundle CPU with motherboard from Microcenter like three years ago.

What motherboard did it come with?

I gotta check and get back to you but it was a bundle thing from Microcenter.

 

[Ciggavelli]

Stay away from anything AMD

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Completely done with this console shyt and if it wasn't for Xbox Live I would be completely done years ago. Games can't even run properly and they charging us for add-ons on like some sluts. These PC mods are ridiculous. PC heads what are some good gaming cards for 4K? @Fatboi1 @daze23

Star Wars

this is what next gen was supposed to be (to me)

how much money would it cost to run this on the highest of high everything??

cause i'm sure i'd have paid it (probably less when mass produced) to have all my games look like this

3-4 grand (maybe a little more) for all ultra 60 fps at every game in 4K

ok nevermind.. i would not pay that


but i can assure you.... 10 years from now.. when ps5 is released... it still won't look like these mods and run 4k/60fps

you telling me we can't even get 10 year old tech for like 500-600
