I find myself in a weird position lacking a gpu:< Been digging around newegg, forums and youtube for the last 2 weeks and right now what i have in mind is the 280x. The type of person i am would usually never buy something in the "sub-mid range" if i was going to use it for many years, because i believe in buying things once and enjoying it for a long time.
The unusual thing is that my gaming hobby has been taking up a smaller and smaller part of my life since a year ago, not where i have lost interest in games but many that i used to play don't interest me anymore. I've been a huge fps/action genre gamer for years(you should see my battlelog account). So i want to spend more time on my other outdoor hobbies and spend the time for gaming only on the few genres i enjoy, arma being there Normally i would have gone for the 970 or 290x but this time i want to spend less. I think amd usually offers the better dollar/frame value so ill go for a 280x.
The 300 series is coming up, should i wait or grab a 280x on newegg this week for around $240? Ill be getting the witcher 3 later on, would this be decent? Also does this sound powerful enough for arma3 with my 3570k?
