alyx lives in a cheap home and still uses a kerosene heater to heat his home. he can't afford a 4k monitor, and there are no video cards that can push games maxed out at 4k anyways, and only idiots would buy 4k at this time anyways
he has a 7790, just get a normal 24" asus 1080p monitor

4k is greatly overpriced, not strong enough hardware

sorry, but spending 5k to run a single 4k monitor with maxed bf4 counts as an idiotic thing

Thank you.
And we ditched the kerosene heater.

The problem with 4k is that the higher definition comes at a ridiculously unproportional cost compared to a 1080p monitor of the same size, and in addition to that, if you were to run anthing at full 4k resolutions it would be hell on your gpu.  4k is kindof impracticalright now imo.

(sorry if my math is forgeted up, I should be in bed now.) At 3 ft, your eye can distinguish an object 0.0105in wide, and on a 24in 1080p monitor, a pixel is about 0.01104 in wide.  The difference between the two is 0.00054in.

If you are looking at a 24in 4k monitor, the size of each pixel will be (approximately) a quarter of the size of those on a 24in 1080p monitor.  Your eye can't really take advantage of the higher resolution because it simply cant distinguish at 4k resolutions on a 24in monitor from 10my bad im sleepy 3ft away.  You are better off getting something at like 1200p instead.

This article basically elaborates on what I just said.

can't tell if you are actually thanking me or being sarcastic

Do you guys think I could OC this card to the max settings in MSI afterburner?

Its not like I'm not used to it.

I have an Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5800 processor, but it's 3.2Hz? I'm confused.

whats so confusing

Nevermind this, read it wrong. What's the best GPU I can get with the least or no bottleneck? Regardless of PSU. dual-core 3.2 GHz remember.

pretty much any gpu would be bottlenecked by that pentium
aka any gpu you buy would make no difference on your system because your cpu is so stuffty

My friend has the same processor as me and he can play BF3 on low to mid settings. Don't know his GPU.
