BF4
This game is playable on the majority of high end cards, although Dice are patching the game on a very regular basis and it is difficult to keep track of the almost weekly changes.

    I love the GPU reviews here, so much information and great buying advice. I like the ASUS cards, they are always built very well, although they tend to be more expensive, than even Sapphire, who aren’t cheap.

  2. Very expensive, I want to see more 290 reviews, not the X versions, they are way out of most peoples price range.

  3. I have always bought ASUS cards – although I must admit not at £500! Quite happy with my 670, still rocking well with modern games.

  4. No stock again 🙁 AMD need to get their act together with their partners. by the time they get a lot of stock of 290’s and 290x’s Nvidia will have their next generation out !

  5. Its an interesting point, triple fan coolers look to be the future for these high end boards. That Palit GTX780ti got me excited, but I just can’t justify £630 on a graphics card.

    I agree though, why no 290 reviews, the X version is just way too expensive. more please.

  6. Could you please update the review with VRM temps? Just scroll down on the sensor tab on GPU-Z. Thanks!

  7. I test my asus 780 Gtx 3G SLI 2 video card and runs it predy good whit 5k ultra samsung TV 65inch and I test it whit my game BF4 125 fps my dream rate ……
