I have a 600 watt psu and want to buy a card that will run the game (fallout 4) but i am afraid i wont have enough watts for a R9 280 running stock speed or can i run r9 370x (over clocked). Im guessing i dont have enough watts to run over clocked gpu. I want to run the game at med-high settings but will not run AA all the time. What card should i get?? 

If i went with the r7 370x (oc) would i be able to run AA and med-high settings??

fallout 4 minimum specs are here :- http://help.bethesda...tail/a_id/31171

 

as to what card you should get i have no idea but maybe this link can help you decide :- http://www.eurogamer...-fallout-4-4023

 

will your 600watt psu run a r9 280? depends if it's a good quaility make with high amps on it's 12v rail, if it is then i'd say yes it probably would.

 

 

found another maybe better link to advise you on the sort of gpu performance you need :- http://www.gamersnex...all-resolutions

Thanks terry also i noticed on one online store almost every gpu says pci express 3.0 my mobo supports 2.0. I find it strange this webssite doesnt cater to the earlier interface. (2.0) or are they compatible? ?

[terry1966]

they are backwards compatible. so a pci-e 3 card will work on a pci-e 2 or pci-e 1 motherboard where as a pci-e 1 card will not work on a pci-e 2 or pci-e 3 motherboard. sorry made a mistake they are also forwards compatible, main difference between 1,2,3 is the amount/speed of data they can transfer per lane so if card and motherboard have different versions of pci-e lanes then the faster version will always be slowed down to the slowest version pci-e speed but will still work just fine
