r9 290 or 780 for 3 monitor setup

About 94% when I disabled AA. The game is more taxing than you'd think on 3 monitors.

r9 290 or 780 for 3 monitor setup

Yes, I know I will never get 120fps in WoT no matter what I do. However I do want to have more than 20-30, and have the game looking as good as possible. I forgot to mention that I use a small itx case, the sg05. But if that can handle the heat of an overclocked non blower 7950 it shouldn't...

r9 290 or 780 for 3 monitor setup

Hi, some months back I got a 3 monitor(1080p) setup for gaming. Right now I have an xfx dual fan 7950 feeding it, but while it does try it's best it's really not quite powerful enough for my tastes, so I might upgrade. How do the 290 stack up against the 780? Here the 290 is a bit cheaper...

What to upgrade now?

Your 60hz monitor seems to be the most obvious upgrade to me. Go 144 hz, get a 2.5k monitor or go for 2 more 1080p monitors and game in surround. I'd probably go for the latter,I love my 3 monitor setup. I have not gamed on a 2.5k monitor however. If you decide to go the 144hz route, get some...

I want to get a semi-gaming pc

Starcraft 2 doesn't play that well on AMD cpus (when there's a ton of units in play mind you), the same with emulation. It sounds to me like you'd be better off by increasing your budget a little and getting an Intel i3 or an i5.

XFX 4850 512mb lags in games after 7 to 8 minutes

You will need to upload your screenshot to a hosting site like photobucket, tinypic etc. http://tinypic.com/

FX 8120 50°C idle on a Corsair H60

Could very well be some trouble with the pump. Do you still have the stock cooler around? Give it a try if you do.

2500K vs 4670K for cpu limited games?

Unless you're getting the 2500k cheap, there's no reason not to get the 4670k.

R7 260x -for what resolution?

Here is a 7790 (260x) playing BF4 beta with around 60 fps and in 1080p with medium settings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEvi-m6w8Vw I'd recommend getting a 1080p monitor. 900p is better than 720p but it it's still not good.

Dual core sandy bridge to quad steamroller upgrade question

I'd say keep it, the hyperthreading will keep it relevant a while longer. That 7850 should be the bottleneck in games, not your i3.

Budget gamer, G1610, best non-bottlenecked GPU?

When I had a g850 (2.9 ghz SB dual core) a 7750 was the bottleneck more often than the other way around. A 7770 or a 7790 sounds like a good pick.

Kaveri/Huma and Light Gaming

Get a cheap, decent cooler like hyper 212 evo, and overclock your cpu to 4+ ghz, and get a 650(ti) or a 7750(or a 7770). It will get you better graphics(should handle any game at 1080p with at least low settings) and your current cpu might be fast enough for you then.

[EG] AMD CPU's performance get "massive boost" as devs optimize next-gen game engines

I have a feeling devs will try to limit threads to 4 most of the time when porting to pc regardless. A lot of people game on their laptops after all, and very few of these have more than 4 threads. If the people with 2 core 4 thread intel cpus can't run the games the devs will lose out on a lot...

AMD fx8350, How many years it can play games.?

It's impossible to know, but I would think it will still run games 5 years from now. CPU improvement has started to peter out, we just don't see as big a change from year to year anymore. Couple this with how long even the lowly pentium 4 chips were relevant (I've even seen people run skyrim on...
