Why Upgrade ?

[Col]

Ok so I am running Msi GTX 560ti bought second hand on ebay £100 last year sometime

Trying to work out why I need to upgrade as the card runs games fine at around 45fps on Ultra , Far Cry 3 and the new Bioshock 1920x1080 plays great and smooth with only 1GB memory

trying to find a reason to upgrade but not sure there is a reason ?

Honestly only reason to upgrade is if you want higher resolution or want to play crysis.

As is at the moment there is nothing that really pushes graphics cards, but hopefully with the new consoles

we will be looking at some awesome games, i think destiny or Battlefield 4 will push graphics cards to the point

where we will need to have a nvidia 600 series or amd 7000 series card.

The problem is your next upgrade isn't your GPU, its your monitor.

Also if you want maxed out AA, that is where VRAM comes into play.

Also, Battlefield 3 MP, Crysis 3, Metro 2033, more demanding games.

Cheers guys I see what you mean Tomb raider also fine with 560ti .

Tried the max AA ok plays slow but can't tell any difference in graphics quality with it on anyway . just turn it off

Come on guys let's find a reason to upgrade my 560ti

Battlefield 4 that looks great , let's hope that gives me a reason ; )

at 1080p there isint really , games were still running on high with my 285 GTX , only upgrade when you feel your hardware doesn't do what you want it to do , dont feel like you should be pushed into an upgrade becuse someone says its the latest and greatest.

​a 560 ti will run games perfectly fine , it all depends on what you want out of your experience.

i've found that at 1080p , i barely need any AA as it is so i never go higher than 4x msaa

Cheers guys all the hype and videos you see on youtube are well over the top , You never see posts that tell the real story of the games vs what you actually need to run games fine .

Pretty much a plea for money as always .

560ti is staying until something pushes it proper haha .

Don't upgrade unless you need to, otherwise it'll be a waste of money since hardware becomes cheaper over-time the more you wait the better.

If I were you I'd upgrade with the next gen of graphics cards, sometime in Q4 this year.
