GPU Question

[Lexxuk]

Please don't use FRAPS, look up OBS, that's the next generation game recording. You can record at 1440p at 60FPS+ with your GTX970 using NVENC. Even 4K. Only 1-5 FPS drops.

I *could* except my monitor only goes up to 1050, and can't really replace the monitor easily as it's a 120hz 3D Vision one. Only used FRAPS to record a friends wedding though, I generally don't record stuff but I'll have a gander at em for my weddin (3360x2100 )

I bet if you bought a 21:9 IPS screen that will change your mind :P.

All 120hz are TN panels which I will never go back to.

Ty for the responses, I appreciate the feedback. Is anyone maxing the game right now on a single card in 1440p? Would a 970 max the current settings in 1440p? I currently have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @3.20 GHz and installed memory (RAM) 12.0 GB. Looking to hopefully purchase a single card but nothing insane like a GTX Titan or anything in that realm.

I have a 1080p monitor with the GTX 460 and can play on maximum settings. I have the i5 3570k processor. I've been looking at the GTX 970 G1 Gaming card lately, but not sure if I want to get it now or wait since I can already play the game at max settings. If you can't play at max, I'd say go for it since the GTX 970 is a great deal.

I'm playing with a GTX970 on a 144hz monitor at 2560x1440 with an average of 100fps everything maxed out. So you get the picture. For a 1080p at 60hz monitor a GTX970 is an overkill for this game.

Thank you Riardon that's what I was wanting to hear. I'm going to go with the 970. Maybe I'm wont be able to max settings after the DirectX11 update but it will be much better than what I currently have. And the 970 is the price range I was trying to stay in so that's a big plus to the wallet.

You could also hold out a bit until AMD's 300 series comes out and see what their cost is.

here: my desktop i7-4790, ASUS H87M-E, 12GB 1600 RAM, ASUS GTX970 4GB

I can't find 1440p, so I just do the 2715x1527 (@@:??) max everything with Nvidia experience setting

@ quiet area: 52-58FPS



@ mor dhona 34-43 FPS



I used to use i5-760 with my this ASUS gtx970, but @ mor dhona is around 23-36 FPS, so maybe you need to consider the CPU too... might be bottlenecked by it...

[raelgun]

Highly populated areas will always yield low FPS, but you will get 60 FPS at 1440 at pretty much anywhere with that gpu, if your cpu is weak, you may still need to tone down the shadows and physics, this isn't a physX game.

Btw to the person doing recordings, get DXtory instead, FRAPs just eats hardware no matter what you have and its quality isnt far off from it.

Wait til end of jan for prices to drop as AMD new gpus are coming out, still get the 970 because it seems SE have done optimisation with Nvidia first.

[MiniTofu]

Someone said it doesn't max out?

GTX970 is relative close performance as GTXTITAN, I will have to tell you it will maxed out at 2560x1440. Average 80FPS, 100FPS outside world map and in MD with a lot of players around 35FPS.

I use an R9 290 and even at 4K it isn't that bad, at 1080p it breezes it and I only paid £180 for it.
