Should i Upgrade the GTX560Ti Hawk?

shirokado

I have a MSI GTX560ti Hawk 1GB card. I have 2 1080p monitor, 1 for games and the other one for like walkthroughs, guides, videos, etc.

Should I upgrade the GPU? or should i hold onto it for a little longer. I have a i7 2600k with 8GB ram cooled by an h100 and my case is the corsair 550d with only a af140 for exhaust and the h100 for top exhaust (2xap121 in pull) so im not even sure how great my airflow it. I'd like a blower style cooler if i can because i think i have poor airflow and i hate noise.

If you have the money, you can definitely look for an upgrade to some 2GB card.

I have 3 monitors and I just tested playing Far Cry 3 (on only 1 screen) and I used over 1GB of my available memory so you might be cutting it close on yours as well.

If you have the money I highly recommend you upgrade your graphics card with the setup you currently have.

Good Morning...

yeah get a card with more RAM maybe go AMD on 7950 or something? Or a aftermarket GTX 660ti + (with more ram)
