I currently have a Sapphire HD 7850 OC with 2GbTBH.<br /><br /> I am also very keen to play Alien Isolation.<br /><br /> I have found <a href="http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/amdradeongraphicscards/amdr9280series/r9280gaming3g.html">THIS</a>. It's an MSI R9 280 with 3Gb RAM and a Radeon Gold Rewards (allowing me to d/l Alien Isolation plus two other games).<br /><br /> Can any of the possie see any reason why I shouldn't buy this card ar should buy a different one?<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 9 Oct 2014 10:02 by MANTHORP</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41234.1&return_msg=41234.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41234.1"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41234_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_41234_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Wattsy (SLAYERPUNX)<span class="message_time"> 9 Oct 2014 11:50</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Manthorp <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Oct 2014 13:14"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 19</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41234.2">41234.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41234.1#a41234_1" target="_self">41234.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I am a bit of a Nvidia fan boy so I would say go for one of <a href="http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-msi-gtx-760-twin-frozr-gaming-oc-28nm-pcie-30-(x16)-6008mhz-gddr5-gpu-1085mhz-boost-1150mhz-core">these</a> as the drive support is better IMO, but that is a solid card for the price and the extra gig (TBH) of ram will help in the longevity of the card. </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41234.2&return_msg=41234.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41234.2"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41234_3"></a><div class="message" id="message_41234_3"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: milko<span class="message_time"> 9 Oct 2014 13:03</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Manthorp <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Oct 2014 13:14"></span></span> <span class="message_count">3 of 19</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41234.3">41234.3</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41234.1#a41234_1" target="_self">41234.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Do Nvidia not do nice eyefinity type stuff?
