upgrading from a gtx580

[Grouch86]

Hello, I'm playing wildstar and I'm feeling the pain of 20-40fps.

My 580 runs super hot unless I ramp up the fan speed but then its far too loud for my comfort. I have recently purchased a 144mhz monitor and I'm pretty sure along with my 4770k, I'm not getting the most out of my rig with this older card.

I'm looking to spend between $300-500. I have never purchased a top end GPU before. Please help convince me to buy a top of the line card or maybe get a 770 and go just below the best.

Also do you guys reccomend evga or the Asus dcu2?

The 580 was a top end card in its day

Was it? IT was a hand me down from a generous friend back in the day.

what resolutions is the monitor you have?

 

if its 1080P, you will be fine with the GTX770

 

i think it better to look at all the possible brands of GTX770

 

MSI/Asus/Gigabyte/Evga/etc

for 500$ you could get a 290/780. if your going with 780, i'd go with EVGA because of its superior customer support, warranty and reliability otherwise Asus is a perfect second choice.

Its the asusVg248qe

I believe it 1920x1080. I'm also using a second older monitor that's a much slower refresh rate.

if that is the main monitor for gaming then the GTX770 is fine

I'd get an R9 290, it'll run you around ~$400 and gives you a TON more performance than your current GPU. It's better than the 770.
