Not in any particular order but here goes anyway: 1. Age of Empires II 2. Mafia 3. Halo: Combat Evolved 4. Resident Evil 4 5. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within 6. Fable 7. Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault 8. The Witcher 9. Dragon Age: Origins 10. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Oh kay, got it. Sapphire then.

Um any specific reason?

Okay which one of these two would be a better choice? SAPPHIRE HD 7790 2GB GDDR5 OC MSI Global ? Graphics Card - R7790-2GD5/OC

Yeah I think It'd be wise to get a 2gb version coz I'm probably not gonna upgrade for atleast another 3 yrs.

Well I'll check out the prices at the local dealers and if my budget permits I'll probably go for a 7790 2gb as the gtx650ti boost probably won't fit my pockets. Else I'll have to be satisfied with a 7790 1gb I think.

Can someone tell me what exactly happens when the gpu runs out of vram? As far as playing games at ultra settings is concerned, my gts 450 1gb was able to run bf3 at ultra with ~30 fps, though I don't know how much vram it used as I never bothered to check.

I usually aim for atleast 30+ fps while gaming. If that can be achieved at ultra settings in any particular game then I'd want to crank the settings all the way up, and if 1gb vram restricts me from doing so, then I'd rather go for 2gb. But for that I may have to increase my budget by ~2k which...

Ok, let's forget about mantle for now but won't the 1gb vram on the 7790 fall short in future games? How much extra would a 2gb version cost me?

I agree, but won't the mantle api come into play in future games? How so?

Hm, I was thinking the R7 260X.

1. Which Power Supply do you have? (Be EXACT while naming the company and model) Ans: Corsair CX400W. 2. What is your budget? Ans: ~10k. 3. Which resolution will you game at? Ans: 1600*900 4. What are your current computer specifications? Ans: Please see my sig below. My ZOTAC GTS 450 1GB...

Sure it is, but it's nvidia again, you know. So this time I'd like to go with the red team.

Since everyone is obsessing over the heavyweights (r9 series) here, it feels kinda embarrassing to ask this question but I'll ask anyway. Is the r7 260x worth an upgrade from my gts 450 which unfortunately gave up on me a couple of months ago (thanks to nvidia's so called whql certified drivers)?

Okay, since yesterday evening I've been running on integrated graphics after removing the discrete graphics card and I'm yet to encounter the display problem. Is there any way to tell if this indicates a fault in my GPU or my PSU's incapability to handle the GPU's load combined with the other...
