Upgrade from Gtx590?

Bloodhawk758
Go to solution Solved by TheSLSAMG,

I am willing to get something that performs under the 590, problem is Overheating / Sounds like its taking off while gaming.

 

 

 

300$ range on gpu.

 

Problem is that, if I get a i5-7 I need another Mobo.

Keep the 590 and instead, upgrade to a 4670K/decent Z87 board. The 590, while it may run hot, is quite sufficient for today's games.

Hello, I'm thinking about selling my GTX 590 and buy a new card. The 590 is running really hot while gaming and performs just alittle better than my old Gtx 560ti while gaming, however in benchmarks like ungine valley and heaven the 590 takes the cake. And the 590 is really loud while gaming and drains alot of power.

Now, what card should I get?

What I want:

Quiet

Good performance

Low power?

Around 300$

Get a GTX 780 Ti.

 

Also, get rid of the CPU bottleneck.

Your GPU might actually be good but your CPUmight bottleneck it, something like a 680/770/7970/280X will perform just about the same.

For $300 you wouldn't be getting much of upgrade if not a downgrade in performance going from a 590

Oh, well in that case a 770 will be good, or a 280X with an aftermarket cooler.

Overheating shouldn't really be such a big deal since you will be replacing it, for noise you should create a custon fan curve in MSI Afterburner. You should first spend some money on a new CPU/mobo and upgrade the GPU when Maxwell comes out.
