Hi all,
I have a FX-8150 OC'ed to 4.5Ghz stable on one of the ASUS ROG 990FX boards with 2 7970's in crossfire powering an eyefinity setup (3 1920x1080 monitors). I have been playing BF4 and I haven't been able to play it max settings. I have been able to get a good framerate @ Ultra settings with no AA. I know that i don't NEED to upgrade but i am afraid that my setup isn't going to be able to keep up with future titles as well as I would like it. Xmas is coming and I was thinking about just asking for newegg cards for Christmas to help fuel a round of upgrades. Should i take the next step and get a 4830k or should I set my sights on a 4770k? I know the move to Intel will make a difference given the crossfire setup i have, but I am wondering if it is worth it. With Mantel coming out sometime in the next month or so I might not even have a need to upgrade. What do you guys think? Should i make the plunge or save my dough for things like paying off my school loan/prepping for my first kid this coming spring. I mainly game with this system so that is my prime consideration. Thanks for taking the time to look at this.
