I'm suspecting you will be able to get a decent FPS at reduced resolution, 1440x900 or so. The 750Ti is architecturally well short of the minimum cards, as it has 16 ROPs to the 660's 24 and the 7870's 32. This affects its ability to handle screens with high pixel count.
Don't know if you can run it man this is borderline BUT a 970 in the box gives you that kind of performance boost you desire.
Well i am hoping I can pull off a 1600X900 at 60 FPS. If medium is off the table for that, and for some reason low doesn't look great than I might settle for a 30 FPS medium.
uch:.CPU is good, Ram is fine, GPU Meets the minimum requisites and nothing more. Since Gpu is so important looks like you're at minimum, if we can trust requirements.. May be a little more (from official statements, seems like requirements could be on the realistic/safe side). My advice is of course wait for release. If you have the money, your system is completely open to a GPU upgrade since CPU is not limiting
Skip Maxwell altogether and wait until the 14/16nm cards arrive to get a proper generational jump in terms of GPU performance.
Not recommended, you definitely have a high end rig. With a good optimization, you'll hopefully be able to play at high/ultra (maybe without the most demanding effects). Like you said test your performance in game and wait for optimized drivers before considering an upgrade
Technically good advice, the only downside to it is - we won't see 14/16 nm until the end of 2015 at best. Rumors are pointing towards better progress in Globalfoundries'/Samsung's 14nm process, while TSMCs 16nm seems to take longer still until ready for mass production.thx for the advice
I'm not sure we'll see Pascal in PCI-e format until some time after that. nVidia is developing interconnect technology much faster than PCI-e (NVLink), to feed the stacked VRAM on Pascal and Volta. It will require a different motherboard altogether, if motherboard is even the right word for it.
Right, If I remember correctly rumors are speaking about 2016, certainly not before.. The NVlink thing seems very interesting (but also PCI-E 4x will have huge bandwidth as well) Hope this will turn interesting also in practic and not only in theory
We have no idea how good the Crossfire implementation will be. It might be anywhere from nonsupported to useless to 50% on release, with effective support needing a profile or a driver update.
