What card?

[Dschulz72]

Hey guys. I've been building a super budget gaming pc for the past week or so, and I'm looking for input on what GPU to get. Currently I have a Dell precision t3500 tower. It came with a Quadro FX580 budget card, so I'm looking for an upgrade. 

 

Current Specs:

 

Intel Xeon X5470 quad core @2.93 GHz

 

9 GB 1066 MHz RAM

 

525W Dell PSU

 

Lite-On 256 GB SSD

 

I've been looking at used Radeon 7970 cards on ebay, and I think I can get one for about $160. Since I have the quadro card though, I was wondering if I would see a benefit from using an Nvidia card and selecting the FX580 as a PhysX processor. What do you recommend? Will other things bottleneck the card too much for a 7970 to be worth it?

The quadro card is complete trash compare to the 7970. Don't bother with using it as a physx processor either it will just slow you down. That thing belong in the trash bin. Just get the 7970
