Would this be a good card to upgrade from a 1GB RadeonHD 7770? I am wanting to play Far Cry 3 and Skyrim on MAX settings out without any stuttering

Short answer - Yes it will. However it depends on other specs as well. What processor are you using? Do you have 8 gigs of ram?

you will be able to play everything on max settings but it will be Dependant on the rest of your hardware. if you have an older CPU or slower ram, it will effect the overall performance.

I have two in SLI. I haven't played all new titles in 5760x1080, but i was able to run crysis 3 maxed out in surround. BF3 ran at very playable frames as well. Skyrim ran at over 60 fps with quite a few mods active as well. These cards in SLI will run anything on a single monitor maxed out even at higher single monitor resolutions. The 2gb of GDDR5 only starts to become taxed or insufficient when surround gaming comes into play at resolutions exceeding 5760x1080. If I were you i would spend a few extra bucks for two gtx 670 ftw+ with the 4gb of GDDR5. This will future proof you as far as surround gaming for a few years. Just my 2 cents. I have two in SLI.

I have that exact build and the card is lightning fast! i use it for gaming and play games like LoL, MW2, and borderlands 2 wich i can max all at 1300x 768.

Absolutely! Every review I've seen says that 2560x1440 runs perfectly on it. As for crossfire, I assume you mean SLI? If so, then yes! Card is awesommeeeeee

it will handle it quite well, in 1080p, it is a very overclockable card, great card. in short it will handle it well.

I am looking to upgrade my old card to use with this board. I won't go past $200 for a single card so the best option might be a GTX660 (Nvidia). I'm sure you can get a better card that won't be bottlenecked, but some people i know who bought this board also bought the GTX560 series cards. Hope I helped.

I bought an FX 8350 along with this card, and there are absolutely no problems with either the card or the processor. It'll be able to perform amazingly on all modern games, running most at high settings, 1080p 40-60FPS

Performance will probably be very close, unless you start using very high resolution monitors or multi monitor setups that require the extra ram. Really, you are buying the extra ram for future as I haven't found anything that really uses this at standard 1080p resolutions. The draw for this card beyond the memory is the cooling setup. Very nice.

I would go with Nvidia 780 or 780TI. Personally i have 2 780's they run BF4 max settings flawlessly.

I would look into the GTX 750 ti (I just got the evga superclocked edition). It's a good card if you aren't looking to spend a lot. I got mine here for $139.99 and I'm super happy with it. It can run games at 1080p though you will have to balance some settings but it would be equivalent or better than running it on the ps4 or Xbox one. This card can run Titan Fall better than Xbox one also.

Hey Ace, this is not a "huge" upgrade. I bumped up from a 460 to this and I really enjoy it, but I am still going to do the EVGA step up program and step up to either a 770 or 780.

I use the Asus R290X DirectCU II card. Yes it was $600 but with Mantel enabled it runs BF4 on Ultra at 1440p with no problems at all online with 64 player servers. Not to mention the same brand card that Asus makes for the GTX 780Ti is about $100 or so more. I'm very happy with the graphics card though, it runs very cool with the Asus DirectCU and has no throttling at all. Its quiet as heck in the Uber mode compared to the stock 290/290X cooled cards. Those cards even throttle in Uber mode and are so loud.

Mine runs a Radeon 7970 6gb and this card on a 650w gold certified psu without issue. Can't speak to running it solo, though.

Yes, I think so. I can play Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on Maximum settings, at 1680x1050 with very very few lags in graphics. These are two of the most graphically intensive games I know. You should have no problem. Make sure you have at least a 500W PSU to run the card and the rest of your system. I have a 495W PSU and it runs the 2GB GTX 660, my Q6600 Quad Core Processor and 4 GM of RAM, no problems. This card also runs very cool under load, its worth the money. I highly recommend it!

I game a lot with this card. It's not high end, but it's pretty beefy. You should be fine.

Depending on what quality you want with your game. I'm just using one 780 and it plays bf4 on ultra just fine. Unless u want to do 4K maybe you will need 2 of those.

I have used this card on Skyrim, I'm averaging 30 to 40 fps with a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080.
