the gtx 770 is more like successor to the 680 , while the gtx 760 is almost as fast as the 670 albeit the latter is slightly faster. Unless you're running at resolution more than 1080P, you don't need the extra 2gb of video memory. I suggest get the Leadtek gtx 760 OC 2GB or zotac 760 amp! which are among the fastest 760 out there.

oh. I running 2 monitors, 1 is 1440x900(maybe change to 1920x1080 to match another monitor), 1 is 1920x1080. so both for 2gb is enough right?

becoz my local shop have no leadtek 760 oc 2gb, only have 4gb option. that's why either i go for the gigabtye 670 2gb or this leadtek 760 oc 4gb.

thanks for the suggestion. appreciated.

yup 2GB is enough, If you can get the 670 for under 1k then I suggest go for that one.

Damn..searched amd fx 6300 vs i3 4130 and saw this reddit thread..head still hurts after reading what other ppl say.i dont really render stuff, i dont really play 'hardcore' games, LoL, CSO, Dota and im starting to play BF4 now. So..have u clicked on the link? And whaddya think?

any good combination of cpu+mobo+ram for around rm500~600?
currently got a 600+ W PSU and ati 5770, won't be gaming anymore

was using a crappy e2180 with 2GB ram and a mobo which doesn't support OC .

can suggest some more valuable config, i might be willing to stretch my budget

The i3 4130 is 80 ringgit cheaper than FX6300,110 ringgit cheaper than FX6350.I'd just top up 130 from the price of FX6300 and get i5 4440..
Imo,getting the i3 is better..or top 210 and get an i5.
Man the i3 4130 vs FX6300 discussion is just..damn.

CPU:Intel Core i3 4130 3.4Ghz RM369
Mobo:Asus B85M-G RM279
RAM:Corsair 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz RM129
Total:RM777

You can try to sell your CPU,mobo and Ram for around 180-300 to cover the "overbudget" total.

SAPPHIRE R9 270X 2G GDDR5 OC with Boost

vs

Gainward GeForce® GTX 760 2GB

which is better?

The Gainward Geforce GTX760 is better than R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 OC with Boost.

GTX760 is better overall.

It's been long time and nice to see this thread is growing fast .

Haha, ikr. Btw, how much vram do I really need? I only run 1 monitor at 1080p so 2gb more than enough rite? I think 1gb also ok, but 2gb more futureproof la. And R9 270X vs Radeon Hd 7870 ? 270X pretty much a rebranded 7870 rite..which one is better in terms of price performance ratio and do u know the price of 7870?

At least 2GB for 1080p.
270X is a rebranded HD7870XT, not the HD7870. The HD7870XT utilizes Tahiti GPU, which is the one found on higher-end HD7900 series GPU (HD7950/HD7970), albeit it's a lower binned one.

Just wnt to ask, cn r7 250 runs dota at max setting?

R7 250 should give you very strong framerates in 1080p at High Settings. Make sure you get the GDDR5 version though.

Actually in terms of performance, yes the 270X is sort of a replacement for HD 7870 XT.

But it is not a rebrand for HD 7870 XT per se, since the 270X is based on the same Pitcairn GPU as the previous HD 7870 (not XT variant which uses Tahiti LE), but now renamed as Curacao. It receives a higher clock and memory speed, that's all.

Personally I'd suggest against a 24 inch monitor due to the price jump between 23 inch is pretty big. Not to mention the price given could buy you an 27 inch 1440p monitor from Ebay...

If you have no intentions of overclocking... Consider this:
