Hi i need to decide between an Amd 480 8gb or a Amd r9 fury 4gb. The 480 is weaker than the r9 fury but it has more ram and the r9 fury is faster but less ram. I currently have 32gb of DDR3 ECC 1333 Mhz with 2x Xeon e5-2650 and a 1tb hard drive( I will add SSD soon). I’m hoping to be able to work with sizable maps and also be able to run Boy and his Kite demo decently at 1080p. I have no need for 4k as i only have 1080p screens and do not plan on upgrading. Thanks
more ram is good when u have higher resolution on monitor
ok but with a 1080p monitor if I have more ram can I create larger maps?
More ram or faster ram doesn’t help performance much, unless you are completely running out of memory. Normally, as long as you are managing your memory well, you shouldn’t need more than 4GB at 1080p. There’s certainly a few cases where you might hit the memory bottleneck though.
The thing is I had a 3gb 770m laptop and it ran out of memory extremely fast when I was testing my games so I thought maybe an 8gb rx 480 would be better than a 4gb r9 fury
I would wait for VEGA to release, it should be out in a month or two.
what is vega
i need a 250 ish graphics card so if vega is more expensive then i cant buy it
