Would this be any good for Batman Arkham Knight?

Arkham Knight needs all the VRAM and works best in 4GB Vram or more, otherwise you have to play on Low.

I was going to get a second hand 660ti for a living room build. Is this better?

seen it running on YouTube about 30 FPS but on high settings. not bad for £42

Fantastic price for this card!

it is a great price, usually around £100. do remember you need a 600w power supply, might get away with 500w.

26 Nov 15#16
Do you? That depends entirely on what else you're running. It's only a 150 watt card. My mITX setup with a R9 280 is only running a 500w PSU and that's a 200 watt card.

Not a chance in hell, a decent 350W PSU will run this easily.

I have a MSI one with 500W, it runs fine

Yes! I bought one last night in Northern Ireland but didn't post as it wasn't on their site and I thought the deal might be local. £80 off Its National!
They also had the R7 260X 1Gb for £24.91

I'd be tempted to look out for another and crossfire them but I'm guessing you'd need like a 700w PSU.
I just ordered a 550W from another deal.
As well as a nvidia shield tv
(I wish my bargain hunting was a bit more joined up)

yeah if anyone sees a good suitable psu let me know
great deal if you can find it, these are like £110 retail

Hmm really tempted now. I need it for my Oculus Rift DK2. Blake Friday is tomorrow and I'm spending lots of money already

how does this compare to an msi 7850 2gb overclocker

I am currently half a mile from there but I can't see there being any left by now.

Of course nothing in Grimsby. Why I'm surprised?

although crippled with high textures and high AA due to the tiny amount of vram

I've got an R9 270 2GB, plays Fallout 4 in Ultra (it really does, not surprising since the graphics are hopeless in F4), I keep telling myself I'm a winner :smiley:

OOS across the ROI according to the customer service.

My local Currys had sold out and didn't even have the price label up anymore.
After seeing how good Crossfire can be, I NEED one more. Imagine, R9 290 performance for £84
(and yeah, I'm spending like its going out of fashion, sitting here with my Microsoft Band, this site!)

26 Nov 15#29
Currys at Sprucefield, Lisburn but called around again at 6pm and they only had the R7 260X 1Gb for £24.91 left
Will let you know if they have any in PC World, Sprucefield as soon as I can sneek out

I run battlefield 4 on this card on ultra settings and get at least 40fps which is decent and at this price you can't go wrong

bargain!

I didnt expect to ever be saying this, but the staff in our local PC world are too savvy for bargains like this to sit on the shelves.
They'd be snapped up before the SELs are even printed.

No luck for me (Romford) - flippingawful traffic jam due to cones an nothing happening as usual!
Really disappointed with PC (and loads of other stuff) World - really letting the PC side slip.
Currys (same area) - tempted to grab a Nvidia G210 for under a tenner - for my old machine if I ever bother reviving it.

Still stock in Ashton and Chester, oos Broadheath and Stretford. Definitely national :smiley: it didn't have the price at the shelf though, but it scanned in at £43

Luckily found 2x sapphire r9 270x on clearance for 37 each
Can't thank you enough for posting this , never think of looking in currys/pcworld for graphics cards

Thank you for the post, I just bought it today at Colliers wood, London. it was last stock in entire London(They checked and none left). I'm pretty happy.
Anyone in West mids, these are oos everywhere. Solihull store shows 1 in stock. I travelled 2hrs to get there and they couldn't find it. Said there was nothing they could do. After complaining to the manager I was offered the 270x at 5% discount to £95. Needless to say I refused. Really helpful store!

If you can find a store with stock, although with the recent PC World boxing day sales I'd be surprised if there are any still knocking around, I had no joy finding any :disappointed:

2 for £84 would be up there with a £250 290X !!
and the power consumption isn't that bad. Off to Currys again tonight. Fingers crossed
