Would it be worth switching to a R9 280X from a 7870??

Look up benchmarks for 7870 vs 7970 GHZ to get a good estimate of what you can expect.

 

[Fatboi1]

probably not man. You dudes have that crazy upgrade bug right now.

what resolution are you playing at?

720P

Nah I game at 1080P at all times. If I can downsample I do it. I'm not having any problems with my card now to be frank. I bought my card with store warranty earlier this year so I can always bring it back and say it don't work no more.

what are you talking about?

need some good multi player games (mainly fps). I built my pc like 5 years ago but only really played MW1, which was a while back. I want to upgrade but if there no good multi player games out then Ill just buy a ps4. I see here ppl joining up and shyt but no one does that on PC. What will everyone be on?

edit: i think it got too niche now. shyt has to get cheaper so they can get more players

not sure if it's 'maxed out', but here's some video



it's not clear if this is using Mantle either

the thing is, I can't imagine nvidia's gonna sit back and let AMD do them dirty with inferior hardware. not sure what they're gonna do though
