natranr Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 How much of an improvement will a 4GB card get me over my Radeon R9 270X 2GB? Should I get a card with 4GB of Ram? Or should I get a second R9 270X for Crossfire?
0 phazer11 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Well... 4GB will let you use more textures and such as well as get more out of ENBoost. If you have enough money the single card performance of a new card ought to let you outpace even a crossfire 270 I think if you go for something like a GTX 980. Dual 270's will perform better than a single 290 or GTX 970 from what I've read but the downside is not having the extra VRAM.

Going to get some liquid cooling for the CPU and bump that up to 5GHz if I can, get some higher clocked Ram at 16GB at least, and get a 4GB Video card. Probably a 980 since the 970 has Ram issues.
