Should I upgrade my gpu?

[kinofiron257]

Well..... Crysis 3 is finally installed! But..... I know my GT 630 would choke while playing this game...

Should I upgrade my GPU or get more memory? (Note that I am going to play the game at 1280*1024 Very High) 

Probably a 7750/ r7 250 or gtx 650

 

And I don't care about the GTA IV 'cause I am cool with it... Plus I will get a steering wheel for NFS! And a graphic tablet for editing pictures and so...

[Rashy]

GPU, try a 7790

[LukaP]

oh the formating

 

also yeah, get something like a 750ti or a r7 265 to have some performance. (still wont be 60fps on ultra tho)

[Misanthrope]

Yes, you should most definitely get at the very least a 750ti. 

[Marvzl1357]

What budget?

[Rashy]

If you cant afford a 750TI, a 7790 is in order. at least...

[Phage]

Yes a 750ti sounds like a great idea on that resolution

[Joshua Ondangan]

another + 1 for the 750 ti. if you can't grab it find a 7790 if you can't try the one you can buy with your budget.

Though a lot harder to find now.

[Rashy]

not really i have a local seller here who has a room full of them.

[kinofiron257]

Ok well how about the 7730?

[thewhitestig]

Ok well how about the 7730?

No.

 

hould I upgrade my GPU or get more memory? (

 

Well, how much memory do you have?

get a 1080p monitor, it doesnt matter how "high" your settings are if there's only 10 pixels.

depending on budget id recommend a 7850/r7 265 because the memory bus is doubled over something like a 7790 or 750ti.

750ti is pretty good for power consumption but its still pretty weak, the aformentioned 265 outperforms it by 12.5%

[kinofiron257]

No.

 

 

Well, how much memory do you have?

4 gigs.. I know thats plenty for crysis 3 though

I have 460W PSU.. Not thinking to upgrade it yet... so that's why I am stuck between mid range cards..

[Rashy]

Not plenty, medium.. 8gb would be recommended but you can work with 4 gig, all and all you should upgrade your gpu.

[D3MON]

yeah my 7850 draws maybe 100w whilst gaming under load...130w under furmark

you can run a 7970/r9-280x on that thing if you have the pcie powers and a decent 20amp rail on your psu, so a r9-270 or 265 wont be any problem.

[Marvzl1357]

Well, the whole idea of 750ti was that it had reasonable power for very low power consumption, basically, it's just very efficient. If you can't upgrade your psu then it should still be ok.

But again, WHAT IS YOUR BUDGET

about 250$... don't know if can get a steering with it....

[Marvzl1357]

Well, in that case, you can go all the way up to r9 270 which cost about $215 for the xfx one on ncix, not sure how that might change wherever you are. But that would mean you have to forego the steering  wheel (I assume that's what you mean)

It would be fine on a 460 watt psu. Even a decently overclocked 3770k and 680 draws around 370 watts while running valley benchmark AND cinebench, so 100% load on everything. And a butt ton of peripherals. Also an overclocked 4670k +780ti runs on 450 watts fine. Source:

But if you really want a steering wheel, then get a 750TI, ~$170-180

Here in Pakistan, there is limited amount of stuff to buy.. the r9 270 is well above 25000 PKR (250$+) and the 660 is almost 24500 PKR (245$)..

Well, in which case I am truly sorry. Well, the 750 ti would be a great option then (I'm just hoping that it doesn't exceed your budget)

[Joshua Ondangan]

lol just rob a bank dude if you're successful you can put x2 r9 295x2 in quad and blow your power supply unit!!!!

 

 

ok scratch that lol had a little drink fest here.

 

 

I still suggest the 750 ti for one it does give good performance for the price and for the long term electricity bill.

 

well you can still opt for more if your psu is from reputable brands.

What about a 7790? its a good card. doesnt consume lotsa power..

[totjup5]

750ti is nice.
