Hello guys,
I'm looking for a good gpu upgrade and my budget is below 1k. Personally i prefer radeon over nvidia cos it's cheaper and quite reliable based on my past experience. i shortlisted a few options as below:- 1. Sapphire R9 280X 2. MSI Twin Frozr R9 280 oc 3. Leadtek GTX760 oc 4. Sapphire R9 280 oc 5. Sapphire HD7950 oc i'm open to any other suggestions besides the above. Cheers! |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ May 22 2014, 04:34 PM) For a RM1000 budget, it's either R9 280 or GTX 760. Both cards are on par and will perform close to one another (depending on games). i'm currently using sapphire myself with dual x fans..so far no rattling issues, etc..that's why i'm fond towards sapphire brands, maybe purely on luck tho..haha..nyway, msi r9 280 u mean? or the r9 280x version?Your budget gets you either Sapphire R9 280 OC or Leadtek GTX 760 OC. However, I've heard that the Dual-X fan on the Sapphire 280 isn't really good, so you might want to consider the MSI version instead (RM979). |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ May 22 2014, 04:59 PM) Yes, I mean the MSI 280, which retails at around RM979 (lingloong). Strangely, it is cheaper than the Sapphire Dual-X (RM1015). now using hd7850 oc..also taken from lingloong I would definitely go with MSI for the extra 1 year warranty (total 3 years). Which version of the Dual-X are you using now?  from your opinion, should i upgrade now or it's better for me to stick to current gpu as the graphic performance is only minimal improvement to what i'm using.. |

QUOTE(rav3n82 @ May 22 2014, 05:09 PM) You feel some games lag already? If not, I suggest just sticking with your HD 7850. It isn't a very big jump from HD 7850 to R9 280 / GTX 760. i see..good info there.. Go for at least R9 280X / R9 290 in your next jump.  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « i think save a lil bit more money then go for higher spec gpus..thanks for the enlightenment!  |
