I dont know much about rigs and am thinking of buying a pc but dont know exactly what to look for.

PortugueseOwnage Posted April 23, 2015 Author Share Posted April 23, 2015 well my current laptop has 16 GB of RAM and 2GB graphics 710M, its an i7 has 2.2ghZ up to 3.2ghz with turbo boost ( no freaking idea how i can have those 3.2ghz as on task manager i always see between 1.8 and 2.2) I can talk about other games, that people with i5 pc's and 2gb of rams played under better conditions than me.. i mean of course u cannot expect a laptop to be as good as a pc but i thought it would be enough to play normal games in normal quality well for warface ( an fps game), i really needed to put the graphics on low otherwise no chance. I dont know how it is with gta 5 as i still wasnt able to play it cause i dont get any support from rockstar / forums etc. I would just like to know if it makes a big difference if u have a i5 with 3.5ghZ or an i5 with 4.00gHZ the 16GB of ram are needed as i wont change my laptop to for worse than i have now and its mostly only 50€ or so more to have double of RAM Also, the 970 has 4GB of VRAM, so if you want to max out GTA V, you'll need at least 2GB of GDDR5. The 970 is the best bang for the buck, but the 270x isn't bad either. youre saying ''youll need at least 2gb of gddr5'' but those graphic cards are GDDR5 arent they ? + it's 4 GB so they should be fine ?

yoječ Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 PC4 is the fastest, but PC5 is the best value. Though if you're gonna use it mainly for gaming, 16GBs of RAM is not a necessity at all.

yoječ Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) For gaming it's not worth it IMHO. If anything, you might consider getting the i5-4590, or i5-4690k if you plan to overclock the CPU (of course you'd need a proper mobo for that).

sivispacem Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Two 280X cards is nearly the price of a GTX980. Crossfire is still a fair way behind SLI in terms of decent support for dual-car solutions and you don't end up with twice the VRAM in reality. I'd rather have a £350 single card for anything other than benchmarking than two £175 cards.

r0llinlacs Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'd do the two 280x's, no doubt about it. 970 has VRAM problems and two 280x's will crush a 970 anyways.

sivispacem Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Two 280x with crap Crossfire support across pretty much the whole board? No thanks. Xfire 280s might top the odd synthetic benchmark but they're much slower than a 970 in many real world scenarios. Especially at higher resolutions where their lack of VRAM comes into play.

PortugueseOwnage Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 what about the processors ? I think intel is the better choice and i only looked for it instead of amd but how big is the difference between ithe following ones Intel Core i5-4590, 4x 3.30GHz | HD 4600 - Refresh [Details] Intel Core i5-4460, 4x 3.20GHz | HD 4600 - Refresh [Details]- 14,00 € Intel Core i5-4690, 4x 3.50GHz | HD 4600 - Refresh [Details]+ 29,00 € Intel Core i5-4690K, 4x 3.50 GHz | HD 4600 (Details beachten!) [Details]+ 62,00 € Intel Core i7-4790, 4x 3.60GHz | HD 4600 (Details beachten!) [Details]+ 136,00 € Intel Core i7-4790K, 4x 4.00GHz | HD 4600 (Details beachten) [Details]+ 196,00 € Is the i5 4690 enough with a gtx970 or is it worth it to invest more in the processor ? What about this case: I have to choose between the following ones: Intel Core i5-4690K 4x 3.50 GHz 88W + GTX980 vs Intel Core i7-4790K 4x 4.00 GHz 88W + GTX 970 The rest is pretty much exactly the same. Whats worth it, invest in the processor or in the graphic card ?i think the processor would be better but i dont know how much the difference really is.. i saw that the power difference from the graphic cards gtx 750ti/ 970gtx / 980gtx is nearly none existing.

yoječ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 IMHO the i5-4590 is the way to go, definitely the best value of all of these CPUs. i5-4690k might also be worth considering, but only if you're going to overclock the CPU. GTX980 will make a bigger impact on performance than i7. To be honest though, I wouldn't go for either; both GTX980 and i7 are overpriced IMHO.

So the difference is not so big between the processors not even if i take i7 ? What about overclocking the graphic cards from what i read its possible? they are benchmarked with gtx970 OC for example its possible with all models or only for some of them ?

yoječ Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yeah, i5-4590 has the best price/performance ratio. In most games, i5 and i7 are basically the same. Pretty much every graphics card can be overclocked.
