How well could this rig run...

[Ikarmue]

...games like the Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V, Shadow of Mordor, Just Cause 3, and just about any other game that has come out in the past few years at 1440x900?

 

GPU: GTX 750 Ti

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k. OC'ed to 4.3 GHz

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR3-1866

My apologies. I just edited my profile and thought that my information might appear in my signature.

Follow your posts.

 

I'd change the 750Ti for something better, even if it means stepping the CPU and Motherboard down.

No point in having a powerful CPU when your GPU can't handle most of the stuff anyway...

 

That said, it should handle what you're looking at just fine. How much more is a GTX 950? Probably a better bet.

I see everyone is thinking along the same lines as I. Truth is, I already have this rig built and everything. The only way I am replacing the GPU is to sell it. Not that I couldn't do that.

 

Anyways, I'll see what happens. Thanks everyone!

The 750ti will surprise you, it runs those games fine, yes you will have to low settings but it will be playable.

I had the 750ti a year ago it was a great budget card.

If the game is playable and you enjoy it then that's all what matters

750Ti could definitely handle 900p. However, if you are willing to look in the used market, you could get something much more powerful that will serve better at higher resolutions

I just checked out Game Debate and did a comparison between the GTX 960 and 750 Ti on a few different games at different resolutions. I would have to bring the resolution down from 1440x900 to something like 720p to play the game at around medium-high settings, which is around where I'd be fine at for the time being. Not that I couldn't sell my GTX 750 Ti on eBay and get something better right at this moment, but if I had to settle for the GTX 750 Ti I'd be fine for right now, I suppose. That being said, if I do upgrade my GPU, would getting the 4GB version of the 960 be recommended just in case a game can take advantage of the extra VRAM?

Better to run on low settings at a proper resolution IMO.

gtx 960 -> it would me more future proof, and some games use about 3GB, so 4GB should be somewhat futureproof. also the 900s can have MFAA which is 2x less demanding than MSAA

 

but you might run out of performance than vram first

 

also better if youre on 1440p
