Ok so I have a budget of about £270 give or take a few quid. i play games and am planning on playing Crisis 3. What Graphics card should i buy and why? Thanks :D
 
Aria have a special on at the moment for a: Club 3D 7970 It's £280 + P&P so abit above your budget but it's a brilliant card at a decent price that's close to your budget.

Will play Crysis 3 and most if not all games at very high settings (AA off or scaled down for better FPS).

Other than that, you're looking at GTX 670 / GTX 760 territory for that budget (cheapest GTX 770 starts at £320+), and a 7970 trumps both of those cards in gaming benchmarks.
 
I was looking at that one before,and i will get Crisis and other game with it so it would be worth me buying it. Thanks! anyone else agree or have any other options for me?
 
I agree and even more so if you get games, as if you dont want them you could sell them and get some money back, or saves you money buying them
 
dont forget oc3d members get free aria postage!!

also, that club3d card comes with 6 free games... bargain!!

whats better the 7970 or the GeForce GTX 690 ?

cmon ya comparing a £800 gpu to a £300 gpu....

I am asking about the 690 as i am able to get a used 6month old one for £260. Is it worth it or should i get the 7970 from aria?
 
Unless you're running at 1440p or something a 7970 is ample for most games :) if it isn't then add a second one when you can as soon as they sort out xfire :)
 
Correction the GTX 690 4gb GDDR5 is brand new and still in box, he just could get the money together to complete his build. So is it worth buying for £260? Thanks
 
even if its over kill sure go for it, in my opinion means you wont have to upgrade as soon if that makes sense maybe a few years time...
but you dont get all those games so its really your choice
 
so if you don't include the games with the 7970 then you say to get the gtx690?

thats my opinion yeah, your getting a better card for same money, only down side is more games now will be written to be on the side of amd. but also im an nvidia fan so id say go for that but obv if you dont own crysis 3 already you can get it with the club

That is a very low price for a GTX 690 are you sure there is not a hidden catch ?

If it is a genuine bargain, then go for it. The GTX 690 is still one of the best cards available and will easily outperform a HD 7970 or a Titan for that matter.
 
no catch apart from the fact I have transferred the money into his account and have to trust he will send it. he said he's goin to post it as we speak. just hope I don't get scammed!! but if the deal does through I think I have a good bargain! :-)
