Hi. I am thinking about upgrading my graphics card for GTA V.

Here is my current system.

i5 3570k

8gb ram

hd7970 asus 3gb

It actually performs pretty well as it is though,I was thinking about pushing it a bit more. Would i be likely to notice much if a difference going to a GTX970 or 780ti?

Interested in your opinions

Thanks

I don't think that its really worth it, 7970 is still a pretty good card.

No point honestly.

Here I am sitting with a 560 and thinking it's still powerful enough.

 

If you wanted, and if your PSU could handle it, you could get another one to use in Crossfire.

However, as the R9 3XX cards are coming soon, I'd wait a little longer.

Thanks for the input I didn't think so many people would advise against an upgrade. I am happy to save some money for now if it is not going to be a huge difference, This has been a pretty good value card. I must say. Maybe I will upgrade my screens for now instead.

Thanks guys
