Full graphics settings
« on: May 19, 2015, 08:59:54 PM »
I like eye candy!  I'm sure most of you do as well. .. in one form or another ;) question is what does it take to tick all the boxes plus run "full updates" slider all the way to the left? Currently I have gigabyte 970A-UD3P motherboard with a fx 6350 cpu, 8gb ram, gtx560ti gpu and 1050 watt corsair psu (over kill I know) monitor is an acer GN246HL 144hz monitor. The current setup does pretty well. The only things not checked are shadow on others, building shadow, bump map others, bump map buildings, local water reflections update slider to the far right. Shadow textures are set at highest setting and I'm running the high resolution package.

The card I'm looking at is---- EVGA 04G-P4-3966-KR GeForce GTX 960 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 SLI Support SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card

I know there are a lot of variables to consider but I'm wondering if anyone here has this card and if so how does it do?

It's a low-end but current gen card. Whoever advised you to SLI two 960's didn't know their business.

I think you should buy a GeForce GTX 970. Mid-range performance.  And if you cannot afford one now, wait until next month when the new generation of video cards get released. Right now a good GTX 970 is ~$300 - but in a month or two it may be in the $200 range.

I'm currently using the following videocard,

Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DP Dual-X with Boost and OC version PCI-Express Graphics Card


moved up to it over my older XFX 6950 2 GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI-E videocard.......

what would one compare the Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 DVI-I/DVI-D/HDMI/DP Dual-X with Boost and OC version PCI-Express Graphics Card  with or to? on the Nvidia side?

just curious....

the max resoulution for a single card wasn't up to what I wanted so I used the knowledge I have. Yes they may be lower end but running triple screen it is easier with 2 cards. In the current game I have no problems with Framerates no matter where I go. I wish I could have gone with dual 980's but my budget was limited and am happy.

Its not at the high side on the comparision charts but its in the range I need it...

For high resolutions you should pick a card with a high video ram and as fast as you can afford. SLI is limited to the ram of a single card so it is really far from optimal when using low end cards, even if we disregard the scalability problems. For the price of two 960's you would have got a better single card just for the extra 1-2Gb or ram you would have got with it.

ripley forgets the #1 rule.  if you are happy and you can afford it then do it.  after all he did spend several hundred euros to buy stuff that in the eyes of others dont really help.

Opinions aside, the 960 was never a top of the line card. In fact, it was specifically intended to be a budget-minded mid-level card.
