New Phone or new GPU?

ClarmonkGaming

Yes g3 not g2 sorry 

i would get the G3. I have used it the G2 before and the buttons being on the back is surprisingly good and the new G3 has got it even better, Plus the 1440p display looks very good and the phone does have a good design. But if you do think the M8 is good, you could get that. It has front speakers and is full metal. You could go into a store and try them out and just get the one you prefer.

        My PC Specs:          CPU: i5 4690k(stock speed of 3.50GHz)          GPU: MSI GTX 770 4GB          Storage: WD Blue 1TB HDD and 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD             Ram: 8GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz           Motherboard: Z97 Asus Maximus VII Ranger          PSU: Corsair RM650 650W          CPU Cooler: Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO                    Case: Fractal Design R4 Black Pearl with window         OS: Windows 10 Pro

Get the G3 when it comes out, that phone will last you for a while because it is currently one of the highest spec'd phone you can get, also consider the xperia z2 if you can get one.

GTX 780 dude, Screw phones

I thought the same thing. Than I got a girl friend. Than we texted each other, and it got damn right boring. His GPU is very new and cooled off. No need for a real upgrade.

really ? you're asking a tech forum weather GPU or phone? Ofcourse they will say GPU .

 

Depends on what you want right now , both will be outdated in three years or so,if you're not an hardcore gamer but is active on social media/communicatons , you might wanna go with the phone for now, 760 seems good enough for now, if it was any lower than that i'd reccommend you buy a new gpu. But since maxwell is going to be released soon i thnk it'll be a good upgrade for you on that time.

Details separate people.

Get a new phone, and I don't say this lightly.  A phone is alot more prevalent in your life than a GPU, there are times when you should get a new GPU over a phone, but this is not one of them, especially coming from a phone that is no longer supported.

Do you have to get something? Maybe save up for something just in case you see something you  really want in the future. Or you can also get something else such as speakers or other (tech) stuff. Between the two options listed I would get the phone because the gtx 760 is already good and your phone is cracked

a htc one m8 or a lg g2

don't get those phones. They cost more than any phone has the right to. Get a nexus 5 instead, sell your current gpu and use that money plus what you spared for the phone to get a 780. BANG!

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

I would go with the GPU, and maybe later get the LG G3 coming out pretty soon. It's going to be beastly.

a phone, you've got a recent and decent GPU, your phone is old and broken.

Phone. Cracked screens suck. I have the m8 and it's fantastic, but I wouldn't get the g2. Either get the M8 or wait for the g3.

I would say get a new phone. Your graphics card is still really good for all current games. I got a GTX 660 and I am running a lot of games at high settings and 1080p
