Hi guys,
Long time reader, first time poster
I've got a really cheap gpu at the moment (Radeon HD 5450) and wanting to upgrade. Here are my rig specs
- i5 - 3470 3.2ghz - OC'd to 4ghz
- Asus P8Z77-M motherboard
- 2X4GB G Skill TridentX F3-2400C10-4GTX
- PSU is an older one but I believe it can take the extra power (please confirm or advise how I can test)
The load on the PSU is the above and also:
4X2TB hdd and Edius NX card (which is useless now thanks to canopus for making it obsolete!
Based on these specs, which GPU do you think is a good bang for the buck that's not overkill for my system? I'm editing with premiere cc 2014 and would like to be able to play demanding games also...
So far I'm considering the Radeon R9 290 (without the X) but I don't know if it is overkill or if it will play nice OR I can get away with something cheaper ($440AUD) at the moment.
I don't know which other info I should provide for now, feel free to ask
