dota 2 GPU upgrading help !

[BubStub]

Hey all my Current Set-up

i5-2500k @ 3.3
16(4x4) GB Kingston those cheap ones
Palit 570 sonic @ 800 mhz
Asrock extreme 3
FSP gold 700

This was bought in 2011 sept

But i am now playing on 2560 resolution and it lags when i MAX everything and there are massive spikes when there are a lot of things happening.

Am looking at power colour 280 3gb Turbo - 348 (tradepac)
Palit 760 2gb - 348 (tradepac)

680? no need too high end. im guessing not enough vram cause the lag. dota2 requirement for gpu need not so high.

take the 3gb over the 2gb anytime. (due to your resolution)

Thanks for the replies bros!

Yeah figured should be lack of Vram. Im using QNIX 27 dual dvi as input. The cheapo korean monitor haha.

May i know which shop sells tier 2 GPU like 680? Looking at tradepac pricelist and they don't have those.

GTX770 = GTX680

bro to be honest, dota 2 requirements not so high..

760 if u have buget constarints but pick the ones which 3gb or 4gb due to ur screen size.

qniz is gd as well =) all personal preference

MSI GTX760 TF Gaming 4GB DDR5 OC......459 ( price frm fuwell) i prefer msi for myself haha

 

[shadow84]

If u gonna get 760 4gb at that price, u might as well get the 280x 3gb... 1 tier higher yet similar price points.

PC 280 shld be $369 on promo.. Unless gt a shop which can let u go at $348.

280 is similar to 7950.
280x is similar to 7970 ghz, which is higher than 7970 itself. Similar to 780ti > 780

IMO, 280x is a better buy. Can get at around $420-430 for PC. Can allow u 2 play higher end games. But if u r gonna stick to Dota2 and LOL for the next 3-5 yrs, then 760 2gb will do. 4gb ver is useless for u.

depends on your budget, but if i were you i will take 280 and keep the money save for something else like SSD

280x might as well settle for a 290 at $499.
