what graphic card

Its the same pity I face myself everytime, what graphic card is really necessary and good enough to be able to play newest games on its highest settings, yet friendly enough to your portmonaie :) Im simply overstrained with all the specifications and cards there are.

i plan to buy a whole system of around 700€ so the card should suit 8gb RAM and a quad core processor

the first question is always, how much memory is necessary. I often read 1GB cards can be far better than with 2GB, it depends on its pulsing.

So what can you, dear crossfire care companions, suggest me to make use of, play games like Watch Dogs on highest settings (peeps say minimum 3GB Memory) there are and, at once, be gentle to my portmonaie?

With a budget of 700 you can get a 760 gtx or r9 270x/r9 280(maybe)
i researched a bit about r9 280x and got a question with an example

194€ Sapphire Radeon R9 280 OC Dual-X with Boost 3GB GDDR5 2xDVI/HDMI/DP Lite Retail
254€ Sapphire Radeon R9 280X OC Dual-X 3GB GDDR5 2xDVI/HDMI/DP - Retail

where is the actual difference apart from lite in its name? will you notice it? does it make the card much worse?
Parent
Yes, of course.
Parent
280x has more shader & computing units, that's the main difference that makes 280x faster.
Parent
R9 280 = HD7950
R9 280X = HD7970

Not that much difference if you clock the R9 280 a bit higher you won't notice it.
If you play on full hd, it doesn't matter.
Parent
i mean you decided for r9 280x and then you enter the next jungle :S
Parent
Some times.
Parent
any GTX 760+++++
270x / gtx 760 is enough
Dunno why, but i got notification youve made this journal :D i must have got some kind of a favourite list that i follow like on facebook LoLO
well hello there sqzz! :)
Parent
":D" hello there matey. how are you doing :)?
Parent
If you want cheap buy 270 and clock it to 270X speeds, same chip.
Else buy HD7950/280 HD7970/280X.

I have 280X second hands for 150.
