Upgrade Of Vid Card (Probaly)

[Cerien]

grettings fellow tenno

i am currently running a system of win7 64bit

with a amd phenom II x6 ~3.3ghz

and Xfire Radeon HD 5700 (that means 2 off them)

and 8 gb ram.

and for some weird reason warframe laggs the crap out off me. i so am currently in the standing that my video cards are kinda outdateing fast so probaly gonne need a new one soon

so i am wondering what would the great tennos off the world/universe recomend for running Warframe on highest with everything on.

best regards Cerien

Ohh yeah i am impartial for nvidia or amd

Target resolution?

for 1080p i would go with a GTX 660 Ti or the new 650 Ti Boost. But probably the 660 Ti just to be safe. i will posting a review of the 650 Ti Boost for work tomorrow. I can link it up here if you like.

I use 2-way sli with dual 670 FTW with 4GB of vram. My resolution is 1600p so I need the extra video memory. That is massive overkill in Warframe though... My FPS is generally above 100.

How much are you looking to spend? Also would you like to stay with Radeon or would you like to go with NVidia? Personaly I prefer NVidia.

i was think around 160 to a max off 350 might go up to 400 USD.(not my native currentcy but converted for easy idea)

don't really care if its ATI/Amd/radeon or nvidia have had both over my gameing time and have had problems with both types.

did notice tho that my MB is holding the cutting edge cards off a bit max running off PCI-E 2.0 x16 or X8/X8 if dual.(xfire/sli)

With two of those cards and an x6 you should be fine -- I am running a single GTX285 (same generation, iirc) -- and am mostly capped at 60 fps unless there is a lot of particles (PhysX) going on.

You should be able to easily run this game with SLI, I'd think. Which of the 5700 series cards are you using?

As for recommendations, I'd go with a 7850, 7870, or 7950, whichever suits your budget best.

iirc saphire radeon 5770 hd Xfired with 1gb ram a piece...

should be able to run Warframe but simply can't run it at anything but 1600 (think thats 720p) with every eye candy turned off..

I would go with nvidia they are pretty good. As for the card I would say the 660 or the 660 TI. The TI is the better of the two but a little more expensive. You just can't beat the cuda cores with the keplar technology....

[RawGritz]

I would go with nvidia. I've been dealing with both for work for over 15yrs. they both have their ups and downs. But nvidia is so much stonger on updated graphics drivers and regular performance enhancements.

For this game there is this
