Ati HD 7870 DirectCU II 2gb enough for just one monitor?

[falcon_120]

I mainly play DCS so my question is? would enough to handle the graphics aspect of DCS with most

on high? The CPU upgrade will come afterwards...

My budget is tight but I don't want to buy something that is already too outdated. I'll stay with

one monitor for a long time so that is not a problem.

Opinions please, oh I forgot, I can get this card for 179€.

If you can wait a little while the r9-270 will be priced around 200usd. From the reviews I've read it looks to be on pace with the 7950.

R9-280X is the 7970GHz Edition Refresh

R9-280 is the 7950 Refresh

R9-270X is the 7870GHz Edition Refresh.

True. The 270x at least for most of the games from the review is faster than the 7950 boost and just slightly behind on a couple.

Falcon, I currently have 2 x 6950's overclocked to 6970 settings and each card powers a single a full HD screen beautifully (not crossfired).

 

Why not wait until Edge is released to purchase a card then?

I think that I'll wait then, even more now that some prices are going down.
