When I played both games before I enabled Geforce experience, I played at 1440p and made it look amazing at the expense of choppiness. Geforce experience dropped it down to 1080p and low detail, but the smoothness is addictive. If a new video card would show a nice improvement I'd do that as a quick boost. Can always put it into the new build later...

That's what I'm kinda wondering. But if my CPU is weak can a new GPU on it's own improve things? Thanks for the response.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Been out of the loop for a while and need help determining if it makes any sense to upgrade this (years) old rig -- or if it's time to just build a new one. Current setup: i5-4760k@3.4ghz on a MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate mobo (turbos up to 4ghz during games, I think...) EVGA GTX 970 8 GB Kingston DDR3 EVGA 750 Watt PS ASUS PG278Q 144hz monitor SSD Drive Did my best when building this back in 2013. (The GPU and monitor were an upgrade in 2015.) Everything still seems to be working fine. However, when playing Far Cry 5 or GTA 5 with Geforce Experience turned on and smoothing out the FPS, the low detail is very noticeable, and I'd like some improvement. Spending a lot to build a new, high-end system is doable right now -- but if impressive performance upgrades could be had spending less ...? For example, the "best"(?) CPU that fits this mobo seems to be an i7-4790k --at roughly $280. Would it make any sense to spend up to a few hundred on a GPU that pairs well with that CPU -- putting maybe $600 onto an almost 7 year old mobo with DDR3 RAM? Or, would the performance increase not warrant it, and do I instead just put that cash into an all-new system? Thanks for any advice. Geoff
