Hi guys,i'm going to upgrade my pc to play rF2 with 3mintors 1080p! I'm going on this one: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Thermaltake V14Pro ASRock Z77 Pro4 G.Skill DDR3 8GB 1600MHz Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB Sapphire Radeon HD7850OC 2GB Sony NZXT Gamma 5 Fans FSP 80+ 600W What do you think?is the 7850 good to run 3monitors or i have to go for the 7870/7970? thanks
7850 might run it ok but you already know the7870 would be better and the 7970 would be even better. I would swap the Intel with an AMD 4170 cpu, doint that would save almost enough money to get the 7970. I would also try and buy 16GB of DDR3 for future use. Cost dif is small. What monitors are you planing on using?
An AMD CPU is not quite good for a pure gaming system. Take a look here, but its german: Bulldozer test GPU: 2 GB is minimum for 3 monitors. Now i have 1 GB effective in use (GTX 460 & 1 monitor full HD Screen), when the Nordschleife is coming and some VLN Mods you are fast on limit with 2 GB.
With the right configuration the 4170 will give you very good gaming performance. I am very happy with how a 4170 (not OC'd) runs rf2. It is a very controversial subject, AMD vs Intel. I like both company's products don't get me wrong. I personally have 3 systems all built by me for gaming. I have Intel and AMD. Of coarse if money was no object they would all be Intel systems, but it is. I "like" AMD a little more today because I feel they are not as greedy as Intel when it comes to price. I think its great that you can buy a quad core 4.2Ghz and clock it to 5.0Ghz+ for just over $100.00(AU). To me thats good value. At the end of the day, all I care about is people enjoying Race Sims like Rfactor2. Buy what you feel is right for you. If it doesn't work quite right, there will always be some one that will help you sort it out.
I didn't get it!the HD 7850 of my brother can run 4monitors with pcars and can't run 3monitors with rF2? The HD 7875 is a hight livell GPU so why the **** it can't run 3 displays?
